have other comments as I’ve enjoyed your “story” but wanted to at least chime in as well and say that on quite a few occasions- ESP when sick or not feeling good- my chickens MUCH prefer chopped up hard boiled eggs vs even my best attempts at scrambled eggs that looked great to Me!🤣 lol But...

Guess honestly it comes down to IF I'm giving it: If I'm to give ~3mg of 0.5% strength pellets for a ~5lb chicken Then I need to use math to figure out how much less I am giving for essentially 2% strength pellets.... "Basic" math, eh?! Problem is my brain is just frozen up in the details of...

Know some of this is pretty dated but do see this past Feb on last post SO... Here's a real monkey wrench to make this hurt your head a BIT more ;-).... Have a bag of pellets by a different manufacturer but still using "Safe-guard" trademarked Fenbendazole "Type B Medicated Feed"....BUT this...

That sounds to ME even more like 'internal laying' ...Sev members have mentioned to me that going in the egg box without laying- esp more than once is a big red flag to them for them based on past experiences. Also- sounds like you have no signs of her being egg bound- didn't feel it and you'd...

Thank you so much for all the info!! I was a mess with my first loss and was in evening so "chickened out" ;-) and had my hubby take care of her body- buried her and we made a headstone as she was pretty special and our first adult to die... SO when my beloved Woodsy passed at some point night...

Sorry I am super late to the party- when I wrote my mini- novella you only had like 1 other comment maybe... didn't know WHY you were feeding grower food to a layer and now I see- you are trying to compensate I guess to her living with your pullets? Problem is the ratio of the necessary...

ONE more thought- ;-) while I was mixing my own fermented feed just now.... my girls won't eat ANY of the 'good' stuff that has fish meal in it...and remember reading their ingredients excited to ferment it as it's got grains/seeds too... but they have fish meal! ? just a thought- they literally...

Gosh, I like your answer MUCH better ;-) lol... a hidden nest would be a FAR better answer!! I knew mine wasn't as they only got out to "free range" in afternoons when we were watching them due to a large amt of hawks on our land!! Agree on diet though... Did consider it though way back when my...

Hi- Sorry to hear you are now dealing with this!! You don't have to read all this but wish I'd known it all so feel on today of all days- finding your post within hours of you posting it was meant to be....sorry it took me til today to finish!! Found my girl yesterday am and had a busy sad day...

Just read the link to the product listed here and says it's "Levimasole" and says there is "Nil" period of withholding poultry eggs.... ?! I JUST read an older post about worming with this drug and it stated that "recent" studies had increased the period for even longer than previously stated...

Man was actually looking up info on slugs… imagine my surprise!! My chickies have been so sick I’ve not explored ANY other parts of this forum! 🤣🤣 want some of what y’all are um… vaping?!🤣🥴😘 Funny stuff!

@Eggcessive - THANK you so much for your answer and help!!! Gave her her first "soak" as well in an Epsom Salt bath and she seemed to love it more than the others I'd had to do it for ;-) Found her yesterday IN the box below their roosts- and when I went to sit down with her, she vomited up more...

I used "miticide" drops "on" the ear- like just over it with 1-2 drops and rubbed into the feathers around it and may have been a coincidental miracle but oodles of nasty crust just went away- and she seemed MUCH happier- had NO idea if it was even going to go Into her hear but assumed it would...

Thanks for update!! Don't always get 'em ;-) so thank you!! Yea- that she's all better!!😍 Great photos too! Man, I guess I got LUCKY ??? as my girl had WAY worse crust (down her neck and under her beak even) and a few drops of miticide (for kitties/dogs) got rid of it immediately- I did nothing...

I noticed this from following up on a diff. thread... Did you ever find out? She's a beauty! Wondering as you said you "rescued" her and noticed in the photo of her she's with another chicken which made me wonder: If a chicken has CRD- such as MG- and it's just that- chronic and uncurable-...

Just happened upon this taking phone out to look up something- wondering what happened with the original poster’s sweet little girl?! Did the antibiotics the vet prescribed after getting the cultures back help?? So sorry to bring it up if she lost her fight but you seemed SO dedicated- that was...

@Eggcessive Know this is an old post but wanted to clarify this dosage for this issue (EYP) using Oral Baytril 10%… Keep seeing such conflicting info and have looked so many times now over last couple months I’m starting to doubt myself😘 Your quote above is closest to what I had written down...

We're of ONE mind on this one!! I've got to call my closest avian vet to see if she'll do the implant and how much... if I can get my family on board!! :confused: Hubby loves them too but we truly had NO idea just how bad this situation could be or really anything about the whole breeding to...

Thank you SO much for this info and your above posts too... I've been trying to lock down a BALLpark of what this "uber expensive" implant would cost and FINALLY found your recent post! I have yet to determine if the ONE avian vet in our area will even do so- as I wasn't sure it was a road I...

Thank you!
