Yellow fluid under wings. What disease is this?

[Cragg Klefor]

Hi guys, great news! My birds got much better after I changed their feeding according to your suggestions. Their appetite improved, they got bigger, the yellow fluid disappeared and one of them even laid an egg! Thank you so much! I'm glad I found this place. You guys have been a great help to me.

I have one more question. Should I always feed them the poultry booster?

Hey that's great news!! I'm delighted to hear they bounced back so well
I would continue with the poultry booster for now anyway, just in case. You want to build them up and keep their immune systems working at full strength for a while just to be sure.
Well done

So glad to hear great news!

Just wonderful! Must have been exciting to get that first egg - Congratulations

The Poultry Booster won't hurt them. Since there was a delay in development and a problem with health due to nutrition, personally I would continue to use it.

Thanks! But I'd like to know how long should I use the poultry booster? When they grow into the perfect normal state, should I continue using it? My point is how to maintain their nutrition level all the time?

I would probably continue the booster for at least another month. Then add it once every couple of weeks.

Once they are healthy you can maintain their nutrient level by feeding them their proper feed. Keep treats to a minimum (not more than 10% of their diet) - it really is as simple as that unless an illness strikes.

For their general well being:
Keep their coop well ventilated but draft free, don't allow droppings to build up where they will be roosting, and make sure they have enough space.
That is the best shot you, or any of us, can give our little feathered friends Best of luck with your flock!

im glad to hear the birds are bouncing back. i haven't been on the site for a while so happy to read that your girls are recovering.

as far as your question about the poultry booster. you can continue useing it as long as you like or stop any time you like. if they were my birds id keep them on it for another few weeks. the reason we recommended it was to put extra nutrients in them because they were nutrient starved. you dont need to have your chickens on it the rest of their lives. after the birds are stable for a while ( health wise) then take them off, it isn't an exact number thing. poultry booster is used any time a chicken needs a little help. situations like birds being sick or injured or having extra stress from stuff like moving birds or adding big things to the chicken run/ coop. the poultry booster is like a bird gatorade its good stuff that you want on hand.
