    Histoplasmosis Prevention

    Hi all, My husband suggested vacuuming our coop yesterday, and I told him it was not a good idea because of Histplasmosis. I then read him the Mayo Clinic overview and he is very concerned. He has been dealing with cancer for many years and is reluctant to risk infection. From my reading, I...

    Actual Correct Dosage for Safeguard Dewormer for Chickens

    Thank you. I had ordered from Amazon for Sunday, but I happen to be going by TSC this afternoon - it's $5 more, but I can start tomorrow and would feel a whole lot better about that. This is the Safeguard paste for horses, yes?

    Actual Correct Dosage for Safeguard Dewormer for Chickens

    I am getting all balled up with the math. I found 1 roundworm in one of my hens' poop. I ordered the Safe-guard suspension.

    Sour Crop or Something More Serious?

    The antifungal was Nystatin. Her crop does not feel hard - rather, large and squishy at this point, but during this course of illness has also been empty. No foul odor. No probiotic was prescribed, though I have given her yogurt. (She's not eating it now, but did before.). Lower belly not...

    Sour Crop or Something More Serious?

    I have a 4 year old hen, Billie, who about a month ago (?) had two issues that seemed to coincide. She laid a shell-less egg, something that is a recurrent problem (egg shells and oyster shells available) and she seemed to have sour crop. I took her to the vet to check her out. He said rather...

    Chicken seems to have trouble eating

    Hi all - I have a hen, 2 1/2 years old, who seems to be having some trouble eating. (She is my favorite, of course.). I noticed a few nights ago that her crop seemed empty. I then observed (next day) that she did not appear to be eating her regular feed, though she would eat it as a mash...
