Hello! I have been using this site for quite some time for information, but I finally decided to join today! I have roughly 150 chickens of various breeds on our small 30 acre farm! Look forward to being able to finally be able to ask my questions!
 
Hi :welcome

Glad you could join the flock! That's quite a flock you have there with 150!! You have certainly come to the right place for all the chicken chat. Be sure to ask any questions that you may have, everyone here to help and very friendly.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat :frow
 
Thank you! Yeah, it is quite a flock. Lol. Most of mine are young right now. I had about the same size flock or laying hens but the neighbor's dogs took most of them out in one day. So i am rebuilding. I did post in the emergencies etc section but I haven't received any replies yet. It's called chicken w/swollen face I believe.
 
Thank you! I am excited. Maybe some of you all could help me too. I hope it's ok to post this here.
I have a turken, she is about 6 months old or so. She has developed some type of a sinus infection. On one side of her head her sinus cavity and eye are very swollen. She also appears to have some mucus buildup in her nose. I keep cleaning this out in hopes it will drain. I have been giving her 1/2 a cc of tylan 50 orally for the last 2 days, but it doesn't seem to be helping yet. I have also put vetrx in her nose, on her head and under her wings. She is eating and drinking pretty well. I have added electrolytes to her water as well. I have been told I can give her children's cough/sinus infection medicine. Has anyone heard of this? What else can I be doing to help her out? I've had one do this a long time ago and we just kept working with her until it cleared up. ANY input would be most appreciated! Thank you!
 
Glad you joined the Backyard chickens flock.
