    Rescued chicken in nyc

    The red is her wattles. I don’t see any earlobes, just her ear opening. Sometimes it takes a while for hackle and saddle feathers to determine sex. If they are pointy, that points to a make. We can see best in a picture from the side. Females have rounded ones. Thicker legs are more common in...

    My pullet is acting lethargic.

    Did you get the SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer 10% fenbendazole? That is very safe to use at 0.23 ml per pound of weight given orally, not diluted for 5 consecutive days. That dose will treat all chicken worms except tapeworms, which are more rare.

    On-going unknown respiratory/fungal disease with chickens - several months - hoping for ID support

    Her dropping is mostly fluid with a few bits of solid material and white urates. I would give her some daily probiotics for a week or two, and then give 2-3 times a week. After antibiotics, there may be an imbalance of he gut bacteria. Her crop should be empty first thing in the morning before...

    Chicken Loudly Gasping for Air and Wheezing

    Normally, there would not be air under her skin if she did not have a ruptured or leaking air sac. Her crop should normally fill up with food and water during the day, and then feel empty first thing in the morning.

    On-going unknown respiratory/fungal disease with chickens - several months - hoping for ID support

    Pictures are always welcome. Is her crop empty by early morning after fasting all night long?

    My pullet is acting lethargic.

    Give us an update in a bit on how she is doing.

    Blood inside egg. Concerned.

    Mine just did it occasionally at first, then daily, before stopping altogether. I usually took her eggs, cooked them and fed them back to the chickens or dogs. Let us know how it turns out, and good luck.

    Hen Suddenly Developed Diarrhea And Grew Lethargic After Being Treated With Safeguard - Is This Normal?

    Did you give her 0.5 ml of undiluted Aquasol orally and not diluted in water? The daily dose is 0.0005 ml per kg (or each 2.2 pounds.) I usually avoid Aquasol because of the complicated dosage.

    Hen Suddenly Developed Diarrhea And Grew Lethargic After Being Treated With Safeguard - Is This Normal?

    Aquasol is supposed to be used in the water, and it only treats round worms, not capillary or gapeworms, the more serious and hard to treat worms. It is given for 5 consecutive days. Here is some reading about the dosage: https://valleyvet.cvpservice.com/product/view/1047550 Did you give her 0.5...

    Rescued chicken in nyc

    I am not good at guessing breeds, but if the chicken turns out to be a Freedom Ranger meat chicken, here is some info that says they can sometimes be kept in a regular flock below. The hens can go on to lay eggs. But hopefully it is a pullet, not a cockerel. I would probably wait and see. Taking...

    Hen Suddenly Developed Diarrhea And Grew Lethargic After Being Treated With Safeguard - Is This Normal?

    Can you try to get her to eat some chicken crumbles mixed with a little water and perhaps a bit of scrambled egg? My silkies were more like 2 pounds. Did you use the SafeGuard liquid goat wormer or the horse paste, or the Aquasol SafeGuard? The Aquasol is more concentrated and dosage is different.

    Hen with vent issue

    You can also upload the video to YouTube if that works better. Please keep the red prolapse from drying out with honey, ointment or hydrocortisone cream. Some use a human calcium tablet orally to help the prolapse go back inside. It looks like a prolapse to me. There have been hens with 2 vent...

    Hen Suddenly Developed Diarrhea And Grew Lethargic After Being Treated With Safeguard - Is This Normal?

    What worming medication did you use and what dosage?

    Blood inside egg. Concerned.

    It is from a small blood vessel breaking in the oviduct. I have experienced blood inside one chicken’s egg in the past. She was a wellsummer pullet who laid dark brown eggs. At first, it was not every egg, but after a couple of weeks, each egg had a lot of blood inside. Since only 2 hens laid...

    My pullet is acting lethargic.

    What is the white material in her beak—mucus or?? Is she eating today? You might consider worming her today with SafeGuard liquid goat wormer 10% fenbendazole 0.23 ml per pound of weight given orally for 5 straight days, and starting some Corid in her water in case of possible coccidiosis...
