Sad day today. We tried to valiantly save her but alas she succumbed to her illness. I still am unsure as to the cause and did not perform a necropsy. We are treating the rest of the flock and watching for anything suspicious. Thank you all for the assistance.
Looks like what ever it is is hugging the wall. Rats and Mice do that. I would recommend a T-Rex Trap for rats. Just make sure to steak it down in the ground or they will run off with it if it does not kill them right away or another predator can come to clean it up. No bait needed just open...
Yes, I had to look this up online for my girls.
Liquid dose: Corid 9.6% Oral Solution
2 teaspoons per gallon for five days, then 1/2 teaspoon for 7-14 days.
Powder dose: Corid 20% Soluble Powder
1.5 teaspoons per gallon for five days, then 1/3 teaspoon for 7-14 days.
For chickens I have...
Looks like Pasty Butt. Clean with a warm water and gentle cloth or q-tips. Dry them off then apply some baby oil to the area to help prevent it in the future.
I have just been going through this but with mites. Clean out your coop then spray it with Permethrin, inside and out. Let it dry and then put back in your chips or other materials you use. Then at night collect each chicken and dust them each with a Poulty Dust to take care of Mites and...
We purchased this door some time ago and really like it. We are a little disappointed in the noise it makes when opening and closing. I thought that the chickens would be scared silly at first however they don't seem to mind at all now.
Its kinda sad. Bobcat took two and the other died of a stroke that she suffered from in the Bobcat invasion. Used to have a small dog but he died a year and a half ago now.
Thanks for the reply. Crop is Empty. Unknown when she laid last. Sending wife to get Corid but don't have antibiotics. Also not sure where to get it without having to go the vet and paying the Premium.
So new member here. We have started a small flock of what was 10 Buff Orpingtons now we are down to 7. My wife wanted chickens so I built a Nice Coop and Outside run for them. They are entertaining to say they least.
So howdy all...New here thank you...
Anyways to get to the point. I have a Buff Orpington, 3 years old that is ill and I need some help. Not sure what is wrong.
Symptoms:
She has a small pink comb, not dark, kinda light to me compared to others.
No face swelling
Wings are drooping...
