    Help! Hen is sick/dying

    When I got up this morning to let out my chickens, I found one on the floor not being able to move. I brought her in immediately and tried to find out what was wrong. I don’t think she’s egg bound because she just pooped a few minutes ago. And I don’t think it’s bumblefoot stopping her from...

    Antibiotics - treat, pause, then treat again?

    I've got one chicken who has been sluggish for the last few months. A month ago I gave her Clavamox pills for 5 days and she got slightly better (maybe coincidence). Can I give her another 5-7 day treatment?

    Morning everyone I have a sick hen. I'm treating her now and was wondering. How long after her symptoms stop can I reintroduce her to the main flock? She's still sick right now but not sure how long to wait to put her back when she's better.
