    Chicken survived predator attack but can’t walk

    Does she move her legs at all? Sorry about your poor hen. I do hope that she recovers.

    Long Term Hard Molt, Coccidiosis or Worms

    Many people use a wire dog crate set up on blocks for air circulation underneath, and no bedding, but food and water, for breaking. I have a 6x7x5 foot tall pen outside on the ground that has a 2x4 roost bar. It works great with a tarp cover cor shade. Mine spend 2 days being mad at me pacing or...

    MY CHICKEN RECOVERING FROM COCCIDIOSIS AND DRINKS, BUT WILL NOT EAT

    Corid dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5 days. In addition you can give 0.1 ml per pound of weight of undiluted Corid orally daily once or twice a day. Hopefully she will recover.

    Corrid

    They are both used. The liquid dosage is 10 ml (2 tsp,) while the powder dosage is 1.5 tsp per gallon of water for 5-7 days. I always recommend the severe outbreak dosage. In most farmstores, the liquid is usually less expensive and probably stores more easily.

    What is in this chicken poop?

    Most chickens around 5 pounds would get 250 mg twice a day, so I would mix a capsule in a little cream cheese or egg and give half in the morning and half in the evening. Some posts say 125 mg twice a day. I believe you can be safe with 125-250mg twice a day though. Others say to give 57 mg per...

    Help! Respitory infection

    Have you added any new birds recently? It sounds like MG, but if they smell bad it could be coryza. Inwould try to get some Tylosin powder to treat their symptoms. Clean any gooey eyes and apply a small dab of either Terramycin eye ointment or plain Neosporin triple antibiotic ointment into any...

    Chicken won't eat or leave nesting box

    Her lower belly sure looks red and irritated possibly from watery fluids coming out of her. If she sits in any wet bedding, it may break down or burn her skin. If you can get to your feed store, they sell SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer, and if you shake it well you can give her 1.25 ml or 1/4 of a...

    6 yo Wyandotte down a lot.

    She may have arthritis or have some reproductive issue, but it is great that she still lays eggs some. I would let her do what she feels like, and maybe bring her up into the coop when you can. Is it a steep ladder, or can you make it any easier for her? Steps might work better for her.

    Lethargic hen with yellow urates

    Sorry about your chickens.

    MY CHICKEN RECOVERING FROM COCCIDIOSIS AND DRINKS, BUT WILL NOT EAT

    Did you get a lab test (fecal float) to confirm coccidiosis? What were all of her symptoms? If she is older, she could be dealing with a reproductive disorder or crop problem. Corid is usually used in the water over 5-7 days.

    Older chickens dying with paralysis

    Unfortunately AZ is one of the more expensive states for a state vet necropsy. Neighboring state CA is about $30 compared to $260 or so in AZ. States with vet schools and poultry departments, or large amounts of poultry farms are also more reasonable. Some states like WV don’t even offer state...

    Severe fly strike

    Doktor Doom is pyrethrin and I think is available in Canada. https://monstergardens.com/products/doktor-doom-spider-mite-knockout-insecticide-16-oz?srsltid=AfmBOorJvO-v0ejt4fmpnWrQRTuqwKgIl5kmpHDFbkGnvCVb6SVBJbtw

    Blood in coop

    It won’t hurt them to treat for coccidiosis. I have read conflicting evidence about using Corid for vaccinated birds. But, if in doubt I would treat them all. Let us know how they get along.

    Insect Bites or Fireant Stings?

    Are you seeing anything on the comb or wattles? I am going to tag @Wyorp Rock to have a look at your picture. Here are pictures found online of turkeys with fowl pox:

    Vent Gleet and Crust butts

    Doe syou have any pictures? Are you cleaning waterers and changing it daily? Is the food fresh and put out daily. Is there any vent pecking going on? What are you feeding them? Some hens have problems with poop not clearing the area below the vent, especially if they have diarrhea. Flystrike...

    Boil/ lump on the foot of my Buff Polish

    It looks like bumblefoot which sometimes occurs on the top of the foot between the toes. The cut on her foot pad may be related. I would disinfect the large bump on the top between the toes and lance it with a needle or hypodermic needle. Then try to squeeze out any pus inside. Then disinfect it...

    Chicken won't eat or leave nesting box

    Does she normally lay eggs with hard shells and often? How does her vent look? She probably doesn’t have vent gleet (a fungal infection that causes bare red skin around the vent, and a foul smelling odor, which may cause a continuous leakage of white urates that burn the skin.) Her runny yellow...
