    Need help-Coccidiosis?

    I know your vet was doing a fecal float. What are the results of that? As Coach723 says, the corid will not hurt her at all. You could start that now and discontinue if the results come back negative. That looks like some internal lining (?) or a blood leached egg lash egg. This would point...

    Have you considered treating for coccidiosis? Coccidiosis in Chickens is a common parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Eimeria, which infect and damage the intestinal lining, leading to poor nutrient absorption, dehydration, and increased susceptibility to other infections. It...

    Need help-Coccidiosis?

    It also comes in powder. I find the liquid is easier to deal with. Tractor Supply or any farm/ranch store will have it.

    If they will do it for you, you will be able to rule out/in certain things.

    Need help-Coccidiosis?

    Do you have a vet nearby that will do fecal float test for you. A lot of vets, even if they do not see chickens, will do a fecal float and let you know if she has internal parasites. From what I understand, Coccidiosis is more of a young bird issue b/c older birds build up tolerance to the...

    Turkey injured by Tom mounting

    If you can put it back in place with the 3x ointment it may adhere back to the underlying skin, but probably not. If it doesn't, it will eventually dry up and fall off. But it is worth a try. If it doesn't adhere and doesn't fall off on its own, you can cut it off after it is completely dead...

    Turkey injured by Tom mounting

    Kept it clean, use a more mild cleanser as peroxide can damage newly forming skin. Clorhexidine or betadine (both need diluting). Clean 2x daily, pat dry and the apply plain (no pain relief) 3x antibiotic ointment. The key is to keep the wound moist so it will heal. Also, trim any feathers...

    A leg injury from fresh hatch

    I have to admit, I was a little confuse about the type of chick until I realized I was looking at your fingernails. 😆 For the chick...it can't straighten the leg b/c of the injury or b/c of something else? For the injury, I would wash it with a good cleaner - diluted betadine or...

    Pecking gone to cannibalism. How to I figure this one out?

    Can you divide the run into 2 sections with 2 hens each temporairly? That would provide room for each of them without the "I am stuck in a cage feeling". More work for you, but probably better for them. Do they peck at her when they go to roost? Have you tried to spray the skin with...
