    Valbazen & Corid heat exposure question:

    Thank you so much @dawg53 !! I deeply appreciate it! I'll go ahead and use it then. It was in the dark in a closed box (along with the Corid). Awesome too, since it's out of stock in my area currently so I can't buy more if I wanted to right now.

    Valbazen & Corid heat exposure question:

    Ah, I found the safety sheets for the products. Anyone else with the same question, here they are: For Corid (amprolium) it says to store < 30C, 86F. So yeah, I think it's safe to assume the Corid is likely safe. Perhaps a little less effective, but I imagine it'll be perfectly fine to use as...

    Valbazen & Corid heat exposure question:

    Hi! In summary, I have a bottle of Corid and a bottle of Valbazen (both more than half full) that dealt with some heat exposure back in July and I'm wondering if they're still good. Would they be safe to use for my chickens? Less effective, perhaps? Or actually dangerous? -- As for how long...

    Mystery Convulsions and Aspiration - Crop or Gizzard Related?

    I'm not the most experienced, but I do have a hen that will have crop issues. Twice last year and three times this year her crop swelled up. Massive crop. Swayed when she walked. And she'd spend 80% of the day standing around in discomfort, twisting her neck strangely to adjust her crop. And the...

    Hen with Chronic Ascites After Lash Eggs

    Sadly, I'm posting today to share that Cleo passed away July 6th. She did not recover from draining this time. She seemed like she might, but after a week she didn't bounce back. She grew more lethargic and her comb was terribly purple. She lost interest in food and spent most of her time...

    2 year old hen never molted, lays soft shells

    I wanted to share that I have a similar situation to yours. I apologize in advance for this being long, but I thought it might be informative. I got my hen, Marceline, as a chick in February of 2023 so she's also 2 years old. Unlike the rest of my flock, she has technically never had a proper...

    Hen with Chronic Ascites After Lash Eggs

    Good News & Bad News Good news: The slight draining had no negative effect on her. And the fluid between her legs had room to move back so she was able to walk around more comfortably. To avoid having to stress her out with another draining, I began giving Cleo dandelion root tea again. I found...

    Soft egg shell stuck in vent

    I'm so sorry to hear Pip has passed on. What a delightful girl. She was definitely a trooper! So strong and beautiful. You did so much good for her. I'm happy she got such a long stretch of time despite her health. Sending you lots of hugs. :hugs My polish girl, Peaches, passed away a little...

    Hen with Chronic Ascites After Lash Eggs

    Update: I had to drain Cleo yet again. She started filling up within a week after the last draining. About 3-4 days ago she started standing legs apart again and waddling as she walked. 1-2 days ago she started losing her appetite. So it was time to drain her for sure. Around 4:30 I popped her...

    Bumblefoot for the first time- help!

    Sorry for the delay in replying! It's a little hard to tell, but by the looks of it, I think her feet will heal up just fine. I don't see any redness or swelling that would say otherwise, so I personally would not open her foot up again unless it starts to turn red and swell. It's great that...

    Bumblefoot for the first time- help!

    How is she coming along today? I imagine the sand and twine should be fine. Sadly I don't have any personal experience with either of them, to say for certain. I've given my girls tree branches and they don't seem to have any issue with the rugged surface, so I imagine twine should be a-okay...

    Bumblefoot for the first time- help!

    Yeah, I tried that method at first too with my first bumblefoot! I only managed to make mine bleed a ton and it was really hard to see how much I got out. Sometimes the core will come out like a plug along with the scab. But that only happened with one particular hen one time. Never got lucky...

    Bumblefoot for the first time- help!

    I'm still very new to chicken-keeping, but I had a horrible bought of bumblefoot before with multiple hens. My worst was a little girl who ended up having it really bad on both feet, though like yours, she only limped from the one that didn't seem as bad. At one point, I didn't get everything...

    Hen's sudden decline: weak legs, can't stand, mouth breathing, disinterest in food/water

    @Bawkbok @Eggcessive Thank you both so much. Tilly was one of my first 6 chickens. EEs from TSC. And it seems reproductive issues have been rampant with them. Or perhaps it only appears that way since they're the "older" bunch. I do think Tilly has been having issues for a little while before...
