    Vent gleet and fluconazole

    Hi, We have a ~5yo Andalusian or Minorca hen that has a severe case of vent gleet. It has been going on now for months because I have been away at university and haven’t had the chance to see what was going on (my parents are pretty useless when it comes to actively finding care/treatments). We...

    Something’s off and it makes no sense

    Perfect, we already have a ton of needle-less syringes. Now I just need to get her the meds

    Something’s off and it makes no sense

    Very good points! We let them free range and more than once they have caught snakes, mice, toads, etc. We give them a lot of scraps (anything they like to eat that’s not moldy or meat). I’m planning on giving Sleepy some egg and pieces of suet today to see if she likes it and my parents can...

    More specifically, the 1st and 3rd photos are from 9/14, and the second from 10/12.

    Something’s off and it makes no sense

    So I’m away at university and my parents are not great with chicken care so I’m doing the best I can with the situation given I’m at home once every few weeks. Thus I don’t have any new photos and can’t get any of her poop or for lesions in the beak. She is snotty after eating, but it doesn’t...

    Something’s off and it makes no sense

    A little over a month ago we got some new chickens from a farm. One of them, who is likely only a few months old, is extremely friendly but has some weird stuff going on. First of all, she is not growing like the others. I picked her up the other day and her breastbone is so sharp and she feels...

    Chicken has no balance but is normal otherwise

    Ok, I’ll go to the store this evening to get that :thumbsup What should I be going for dosage-wise (mg)? Also is it ok to put it in a little bit of banana everyday, as she won’t eat it with anything else? Or is that too much potassium for a chicken? Also, if this is a virus, wouldn’t it have...

    Chicken’s scabs not healing—it’s been more than half a year

    Sorry I meant that the maggots ate off her scabs, not the other chickens. The rest of the girls were very kind to her, fortunately, as she was the oldest of the flock and the matriarch. We did isolate her but then she got the flystrike which caused them to come off. I’ll go out today and check...

    Chicken has no balance but is normal otherwise

    Hello again, In addition to my sick Wyandotte, I have a 5yo Australorp hen who, a couple months ago, seemed to get off-balance and started tipping on to her side. She will get up and precariously walk a few feet, then one of her legs will give out and she’ll fall over again. I have tried to...

    Bloated, walking funny, drooling, trying to push something out

    Hi, I have a 2yo golden laced Wyandotte that today started acting off. She’s walking stiffly with a wide stance, and keeps squatting down and trying to push something out her vent. I already stuck a finger up there and felt no blockages or eggs. At one point when she put her neck down to eat, a...

    Chicken’s scabs not healing—it’s been more than half a year

    I also treated the coop with permethrin to prevent any more lice issues, and none of the hens themselves seem to have bad lice, as they are able to dust bathe.

    Chicken’s scabs not healing—it’s been more than half a year

    Hi, sadly she died a few weeks ago after contracting flystrike. They ate off all the scabs and I was trying to soak her to get the maggots off but she was too weak and died right there and then. I do have two other chickens now that are acting weird but they don’t seem to be related. One has...

    Chicken’s scabs not healing—it’s been more than half a year

    Thank you. I haven’t done permethrin yet but I think we have some hiding in the house somewhere so I will try and find it tomorrow. I’ll also give her a warm soak with some hibiclens mixed in. I also bought some more Nu Stock to apply every few days. As for the original injury/wound, we have no...
