New to having a flock

Agreed. If anything I'll avoid it until proven... Just in case...

X2....per my Avian Vet and the Avian Specialist I use....spinach does bind calcium. When I give spinach to any of my birds I only give a little twice a week max. Sometimes I just avoid it altogether since kale and other greens are just as good and don't bind calcium.

good to know thanks!

You're welcome. It is just best given sparingly. Btw, it also binds calcium in humans. My daughter was eating spinach salads for lunch every day...her doctor told her to only do every other day. Weird huh? That something so good can actually be eaten in excess.

looks like an infection, have you posted it in the emergency section?

 

[skylerw]

I thought I had posted but I didn't so I just did I had posted on a thread that died in 2013 hopefully now I can get some answers and I hope it's not fowl cholera

So far what I've been told was an infection due to a scratch gave meds and drained them and sent us home he will be inside for a week and away from flock for about a month
