Anything with Zinc Oxide and/or Petroleum in it will work. Usually the preventative is the the cure. You don't want the area to get frostbitten again. I only said I prefer regular desitin, compared to balm ex or desitin creamy, or any other Zinc Oxide product. The regular desitin is thick and does not come off as easy, therefore you can go a week between applications. The A and D ointment is a petroleum based product, I find that they need applied more often. That's just my two cents. If you are having an emergency, by all means use what is available. Just a friendly reminder is you use an antibiotic ointment, make sure there is no pain reliever in it! I also use udder butter, the one in the little green tin, there is also a watkins product called petrocarbo that is awesome.

sorry Lisa..i didn't catch this...I have missed a few posts/pages..i will go back & see.

I has a question also..IF anyone knows what the dosage/treatment, ( how long to administer), Tylan 50 for LF adults?...any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
I have been reading..1 ML=1CC...and on one of those med.-charts they are saying to give LF adults 1-1.6 CC liquid ea. ..if anyone as used this product before and used different dosages, i would love to hear about it.
And of course , again..how long you had to administer the medication.

This is important..I am not just asking to know...I had to give my new BL-w a dose today (1cc)..to play it safe..because she is still having the "bubble" issue..and it needs to be rectified now or she is soup. I am not risking the others with this. Anyway..Thank You- Danielle

LMP, the Tylan 50 is like a "regular" antibiotic. The Tylan 200 is an "extended release". .1cc and 1mg is the same thing, you are on the right track. For the Tylan 50, as long as she is still eating with the bread method, give her .1cc per pound of body weight. So if you hen is 5 lbs. her dose is .50cc The antibiotic should be administered for at least 5 days. If you bird does not show significant improvement with in the first 48 hours, give for 7-10 days. Because you are giving her the meds orally, do not give her any pro-biotic within a couple of hours before and after the dose is given. Wait until she has had time to properly absorb the antibiotic. Then you can give her some yogurt, or whatever you use for pro-biotic. Don't put it in her drinking water, unless you keep it from her for the 4 hours around dosing time. If you have any questions, or feel like the Tylan is not working for you it could be: viral, change in surroundings, fungal, or environmental (change in shavings, feed, etc.). There are antibiotics that is not Tylan the work really well too. Hope this helps! I feel like I need to give a disclaimer, I am trying to help you with your Tylan dosage. My brain goes crazy and tries to cover every aspect, and forecast any questions you might have, or keep you open to the possibility that this treatment might need altered.
 
Now I am getting confused I think the above post is for chippysmom??? OMG, I tried to go reread everything. Sally you should have answered first! Then I would not be sitting here at midnight confused as heck!
 
Onto other things after some soul searching I need to down size a little bit. I am getting into big trouble over my feed bill. That is just part of the cost of having the birds.............................

Before I separate birds into breeding pens, I want to cut back. It has been a very hard decision, my cousin is also in the middle of cutting back. I told her I would help her sell some of her birds. Most of these birds are really nice, I would say that half are potential show quality. That does not mean that they need to be shown, they are egg layers above anything else!

Okay, there is bunch of Wheaten, and Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas. There are at least 3 blue wheaten cockerels. 2 of them are from Paul Smith in TX. I bought them as day old chicks in 2013. The other one came from April, another BYC member. Then there are 4 hens, and 4-5 pullets. The 4 hens are 2 from Wayne Meredith, 1 from April, and Reyvaughn. The pullets are 2 from April, and 2-3 from Paul Smith.

I will have a couple of cockerels, pullets, and hens that are bbs Ameraucana to sell in the spring after I make up my breeding pens.

Right now I have 2 mottled cochin pairs for sale. I have mottled in both black and blue.

I have a pair of Silver Laced Wyandottes. The rooster is from Foley's and the hen is from red roof hens.

I have a pair of Marans a blue copper hen, and a splash rooster (no copper)

Now the hens, and POL pullets:
2 black Australorps
3 Dark Brahmas
1 black english orp
2 50% english orps 1 blk 1 blue
1 Black Naked Neck
3 LF Cochins 1 blk 2 blue
There could be some that I missed???????????????? Maybe some easter eggers too! I have a bunch of project birds that I have kept until I was sure of the next generation. Since they are half Ameraucana, I am calling them EE.
