    Do we think this chicken can heal?

    It’s a good sign that the wound does not smell bad. I have no experience with silver honey.

    Hen vomiting

    I am very sorry for your loss. It would be good to call your state vet lab before they close today to see if they can do a necropsy on her body tomorrow. That could give you a diagnosis. Here is a list of state vets, and they might be able to email you a shipping label or you could bring in the...

    What is wrong with my chicken poop?

    How is she acting? Is she lethargic or standing around hunched up? The yellow fluid can sometimes be seen with coccidiosis. Is she drinking a lot of water?

    My Rooster Can't Move His Neck - WHAT DO I DO

    It probably is wry neck (torticolis.) Head or neck injury is a common cause along with vitamin E or B1 thiamine deficiency, and it can be seen in some diseases.

    Rooster not adjusting to new flock - lost weight

    I never add a young cockerel to a flock with 2 grown roosters. I figure they could kill him. Since he has been raised alone, even the other hens will attack him until he is mature. You could try keeping him crated until he is bigger, but he might get beaten or killed. I have raised some baby...

    EMERGENCY! **Graphic Yucky Photos**

    It could be lash egg or material from salpingitis that she is trying to pass, but she also could have oviduct cancer. It is hard to tell. The blood does seem like maybe her vent was injured or pecked, but again hard to know. If she is not super weak and lethargic I would clean up her vent with...

    Okay to Guesstimate Weights for Deworming?

    I could see rounding the dose up to 0.1 per pound, but I think it would be dangerous to give any bird 1 ml per pound. The old dosage of 1/2 orally will treat a 4-6 pound hen. Bantams get less, and a big rooster or hen would get more. Be sure to shake the sludge out of the bottom since...

    Mystery puffiness/balding

    It could be mycoplasma (MG) especially if ahe has any eye bubbles or sunken eye appearance, but an insect sting could also be possible. MG symptoms can come and go, and can improve quickly with Tylosin in the water.

    You can also use B complex for curled under toes. It contains riboflavin and the other B vitamins. Could he be pecking his legs due to the scaly leg mites and causing bruising?

    Help! Yellow diarrhea, hen very sick

    That type of yellow urates can indicate severe dehydration or liver problems usually related to a reproductive disorder. Sulfa antibiotics do have side effects. Did she have the yellow poop before she started the sulfa antibiotics?

    Injured eye

    Good advice on wound care from @BlindLemonChicken I would keep an eye on the rooster, and make sure that he is not too rough on her. And that the hens do not peck at her wound.
