I just googled it. That sounds like just what she needs. One place said it is a naturally occurring antibiotic, specifically for skin issues. I will see if I can come up with some. Thanks!

You are very welcome. Keep me posted.

If it helps, I had a chick once that had been pecked down to the skull. Seriously, could see bone. He lived in the house for a bit and was treated with antibiotics and a topical ointment. He eventually was fine.

Thanks Anne. I had a hen that had been pecked so badly you could see the bones in her neck and she lived too.

Unfortunately this little one passed away last night. Thanks everybody for your encouragement and ideas on what to do for her!

Is this some weird crow or is he having some sort of issues? This guy is about 3 months old and is from a TSC bantam mix. I've lost 3 of the 7 I got from that mix so this makes me nervous. The other three which are a silkie, a d'uccle, and an OEGB (I think) are doing great.

Does he only do it when he's eating? Might just be a wierd start to crowing, but almost sounds like food is getting up in his sinuses... maybe there's a small hole in the upper palette??

If he's awake, he's doing it. Whatever it is, it doesn't stop him from eating, drinking, or doing other chicken things.
