Not many of us here are vets, and we try to act in the best interest of our birds for their health and safety... Please be careful when giving shots... I gave my Honey bird a shot of Penicillin because the hens had been looking a little off for a few days... and I thought to try a three day round of medicine, and vitamins in the water. I had given shots before, and never had an incident, but I think I may have accidentally hit a vain and she died a few seconds later. I feel bad because I wanted to help her not kill her!
My remaining hen is looking much better this morning. She was clucking and moving around with her tail up. Her combe and wattles looked brighter too. So I feel like the choice was a good one. I am just sad because, after the horrible heat this summer and now this I only have 2 birds from my starter flock. I am raising up some (6) babies right now. They have started sounding more like hens and less like chicks, but they are not laying yet.
