    Possible lymphoid leucosis neoplastic tumor + Update: Not injury. Confirmed to be a tumor

    Yes, both @Bawkbok and @BigBlueHen53 are on the right track. Intent is a significant element in being able to direct this energy through you to the recipient. But intent is just one element in the process. The other thing is to connect to the conscious universe because that's the source of the...

    Possible lymphoid leucosis neoplastic tumor + Update: Not injury. Confirmed to be a tumor

    Yes, Reiki is the funneling of energy through the practitioner to the recipient. It can be both hands on or hands hovering depending on whether or not the recipient is okay with direct contact or would rather not be touched. It works either way. My chickens say they prefer direct contact. Some...

    Please Help Dog Attack Injuries

    Bag Balm is a great wound treatment. I love the stuff and have used it for fifty years. As for antibiotics, the sooner you start them, the better. If you have any wound that goes deep or was a result of an animal bite, assume a wound that is loaded with bacteria deep in the tissues.

    What is this poop indicating? Please help

    Aquarium tubing is about 3/16" or 4mm diameter. You don't want anything larger than that. You will then need to find a syringe of adequate capacity to fit into the tubing. It must also be soft and flexible.

    Possible lymphoid leucosis neoplastic tumor + Update: Not injury. Confirmed to be a tumor

    Reiki is more a state of mind and spirit than a practice. It's a spiritual discipline where duality between spirit and matter is dissolved so that all of the energy of the universe can flow through you and into the being you are helping. I learned from two Reiki masters that came to stay with...

    What is this poop indicating? Please help

    I forgot to answer about the chicken eating during the flush. Do the flush first in the morning when the crop is empty. Afterward, you may offer regular food and especially water as the flush is dehydrating. Then in the afternoon, stop access to food and water a couple hours before the second...

    What is this poop indicating? Please help

    Syringing the Epsom solution, which is half a cup with one teaspoon Epsom salts, is way too much and way too stressful. It would take you an hour of pushing it in, refilling it, etc. Tubing is once for inserting the tube, and just a few minutes to get all half cup into the patient. Here are my...

    Please Help Dog Attack Injuries

    I've had dogs attack my chickens, too. I love dogs, but some people don't love their dogs much and let them roam to cause problems for others. The law says we can shoot dogs that threaten our live stock, but it's really the human owners that need to be shot. Here is my wound care protocol: 1...

    Possible lymphoid leucosis neoplastic tumor + Update: Not injury. Confirmed to be a tumor

    Tootsie has indicated recently that he is having trouble standing and accessing the water and food. I've begun to have thoughts that he may be nearing the time when I need to end this. But I thought I'd resurrect the chicken wheel chair I designed and assembled a few years ago for some pullets...

    What is this poop indicating? Please help

    That poop looks to me like she still has a yeast infection, only now it's all the way down her digestive tract. In this case, miconazole is not as effective as when the yeast is localized to the crop. I suggest the three-day Epsom salt flush to neutralize the yeast all the way through the...

    Sick little bantam, appreciate help pls

    I'm sorry this little patient isn't responding. I hate to say it, but this may be a sign that she's dying. We can't know for sure, but this may be due to cancer, not a stuck egg.

    Sour Crop 12 year old hen

    Congratulations on having one of the oldest hens here on this site. It's both evidence of your care and also her good genes. Having had a number of hens reach this exalted age myself, and myself being also of exalted age, I can make this pronouncement - all old bodies reach their expiration date...

    Can hens have stds

    Yes, there are avian viruses that are sexually transmitted during mating. But they are also transmitted through the air and dander and dust and feces. It is possible for hens that carry one of these viruses to be resistant to the disease and still transmit it to a new chicken being introduced...

    Possible frostbite

    White comb tips denote frostbite and dead tissue. The best way to treat frostbite is to not do anything as any attempts can do more damage. The white tips will turn black in a few weeks and eventually fall off, reducing the size of the comb. While combs that have been damaged by frostbite are...
