    Help! Chicken very sick

    When a crop is puffy like a water balloon, do not massage it because it can force crop contents back up into the airway and cause choking or aspiration. Recheck her crop early in the morning to see if has emptied overnight. If it is still full and like a water balloon, then I would give some...

    Prolapse in 6 year old hen

    Keep the prolapsed tissue moist and from drying out. Vaseline, hydrocortisone cream, hemorrhoid cream, and honey are all good. Wound spray or saline can be used to clean the area before applying oil or cream. Here is more reading: https://the-chicken-chick.com/prolapse-vent-causes-treatment-graphic/

    Photo of hen's foot - is this bumblefoot?

    Is there any scab or cut on the bottom of the footpad? Bumblefoot can also occur on the top of the foot between the toes.

    corid 9.6 dose?

    Yes 2 tsp of the liquid Corid per gallon of water for 5-7 days is correct. You may also give a drench dosage extra of undiluted Corid 0.1 ml per pound of weight daily. May sure the chicks drink well.

    Rooster Eye Problem (No respiratory symptoms)

    Thank you for the update. I am still thinking the hen and rooster look like they have MG. It is possible for testing to come back negative. The swollen eyelid and bubbles/watery eye are classic signs. There may be some fowl pox, but sometimes it is hard to tell scabs from peck marks. I have read...

    Hen sick 2 days before knee replacement surgery

    Glad to hear that she is doing better. I usually keep my sick chickens near the flock so they don’t get picked on when they come back. I would probably have some supervised visits with them now, so they don’t forget her. Human super b complex vitamins 1/4-1/2 tablet daily crushed in a little...

    Skin opening below vent on two year-old Bantum Cochin not feeling well

    The permethrin flush in the wound has probably killed most of the maggots. I would probably keep her inside until the wound scabs over, just in case more flies are around. Thanks for the update.

    Would a tiny lash egg come out w poop???

    If you see any more lash material, I would cut it open. Can you bring her out with the other chickens for some company? Stay with her to make sure that no one picks on her and offer the whole flock some scrambled egg and a little wet chicken feed. That might get her eating. If ahe needs to be...

    6 week chick with splayed legs

    Give her 1/4 tablet of human super b complex vitamins with riboflavin and all b vitamins daily. Crush it in a spoonful of water or a bit of egg or wet feed. Try a chicken sling and let it out to try and walk several times a day.

    keet possible broken leg from guinea attack

    I would just feed the chick every 2-3 hours, to make sure that it is getting enough water and food. Make sure that it doesn’t get pecked or trampled as it rests the leg. Hopefully it is just a temporary injury.

    Hen not walking

    I would get some human B complex since riboflavin and all b’s would be better than B 12. Give 1/4 tablet daily crushed into food or a spoonful of water. She may have injured her hock tendon somehow. I would force her to rest the leg by limiting her activity. No jumping to a roost or running. A...

    baby chick with eye problem

    Welcome to BYC. Can you start a new thread of your own in the emergency forum? You can apply some saline or eye wash to it’s eye, and then apply Terramycin eye ointment twice a day into the eye. Neosporin works in a pinch if Terramycin is not available. Pictures in your new thread may be helpful.

    Puffy eyes and bubbles

    Yes, eggs can be sold for eating, but hatching eggs can pass along the mycoplasma to a chick.

    Broken leg

    She may have suffered a tendon or ligament injury. It may be too late to treat it, and surgery may have even be difficult at the time of the injury, but at this point I doubt it could be fixed. Sometimes they can have a leg bone deformity called varus or valgus deformity. Tendons may rupture...

    What on EARTH are these growths in her trachea?

    Make sure she has good ventilation in her coop. Have you added any new birds recently from another flock? Symptoms from a carrier may cause symptoms in a couple of days to weeks. Usually with infectious bronchitis, there will be others sneezing in the flock over days to weeks. When mine had it...

    What on EARTH are these growths in her trachea?

    It might be normal tracheal mucosal lining and mucus. Gapeworms are red Y-shaped worms, and only seen on a necropsy when the trachea is cut in half. I will tag @casportpony since she may have seen this. Respiratory diseases can cause gasping and sneezing, and increased mucus production...

    Foot infection?

    I din’t usually treat bumblefoot (or do invasive surgery) unless there is limping or a very red abscess. But it would not hurt to apply a dressing with the sugar and betadine, Neosporin, or Prid and change it daily. Make sure the dressing is not too tight. Usually a 2x2 folded gauze pad or...
