My 8lb rooster has a respiratory issue illness. How much Tylan 200 can I dose him. .5 mil?

My 2 year old crested cream legbar has suddendly stopped laying eggs. It all started when we made a minor change to the coop entrance. We thought she might be laying somewhere else on the pasture but we looked for days trying to find the eggs. They are blue so they are easier to see. Maybe the...

YAY! I am putting a chair together tomorrow. I give her crushed eggshells and oyster shell pellets. Does she still need calcium citrate supplements? Anything else? Thank you so much. I really like this hen a lot, she's so sweet and only 5 mo. old. A golden sexlink. We have a quality quad wave...

Thank you! You are kind..I will do.

I don't know how it happened, but my hen has been limping for several weeks. Then she simply wouldn't walk on it much. We took her to the vet and they found a fracture on her femur by the knee joint. They said it was unusual to have a fracture there. She is on pain meds but I have to keep her in...

It is thank you for your input.

She is. We put her on a nice bed of fresh pine shavings. She seems to be on the mend. Thank you for your kind concern, it is always up building to talk to other chicken lovers who care about eachother and their flock. 🙋‍♀️

She is. We put her on a nice bed of pine shavings and she seems to not be getting any worse, but a little better. We are keeping and eye on her. I appreciate your kind concern.🙋‍♀️

I can't see anything like a thorn or a cut. I felt her leg but I cant see anything. Should I wrap it just in case or what? She's limping more today.

She has been eating and drinking walks around but is listless and going down hill little by little. Poop is getting more watery and she only has little amounts all throughout the day. Her diet is crumble and for snacks the hens get honey dew melon or water melon and grubblies or microgreens but...

Okay, whew! Thanks so much😁

Does anyone know what causes this? My white Plymouth Rock has had this for over a week. She's eating the same diet as the rest of my flock and she seems healthy.

I'm way past straw. I haven't ust it in over a year. I live in the PNW and it's pretty wet here in the cooler months. So straw gets damp and breeds all sorts of bugs as mold. I use pine shavings with a hand full of dried herbs mixed in. Mites and lice won't touch it and the hens adore it. My...

Can pau d'arco herb be used in nesting boxes along with other herbs?

Well, the first time was about a week ago but about a week before that we noticed his tail was drooping. So he may have already had it then. We didn't know he was feeling poorly until a week ago.

His crop seems to empty but this morning I dad to lightly massage it till it emptied. There isn't much he's been eating and he's weak.

They are small but he had had very little to eat. He sleeps a lot. His comb is purple tipped. I'm keeping him in a large dog kennel in the house and giving him water. It's been a week now and we don't want to lose him, he's only 10 months old an a great rooster. One of our hens is his mother...

We are doing that but the hardest and thickest is right up ther by his vent opening.

Yes we are doing that every day. The coconut oil is breaking up the lower part piece by piece. But he is so depressed and Im trying to figure out whether I should feed him by tube because he won't eat and he is losing weight. Maybe white rice? Oatmeal? He poops only a little bit at a time. The...
