    Recovery from Coyote attack

    If you can feel air under her skin anywhere it can be needled with an 18 gauge needle and syringe to pull the air out. There are air sacs all along the chicken’s body, and a bump can cause a leak. That sometimes has to be repeated. You can even use a sewing needle and squeeze the air out as seen...

    Sour Crop Not Resolving, crop not emptying... Crop Blockage? Treatment?

    If the crop is full of liquid or squishy/puffy, it can force crop contents back up into the throat and cause choking. Do you provide poultry grit every day?

    acclimation

    I would just leave her in the car until the vet can see her. She should tolerate the temperature okay for a short time. Have you seen this article on crop treatments...

    Let us know how she is doing in a day or so. Does she have any air under skin, which could be a leaking air sac. It sounds like you are doing what you can to help her.

    Sour Crop Not Resolving, crop not emptying... Crop Blockage? Treatment?

    You can give the coconut daily 1 tsp cut into small pieces until her crop feels empty early in the morning. I would offer ner some watery egg. You can massage her crop several times a day if it is firm or doughy, but not if it is squishy or full of fluid.

    Mystery illness 2 years old Wyandotte Hen

    I would keep an eye on her nostrils in case she is getting feed stuck in her nostrils. It is always good to note if there are any bubbles or foam in an eye when the nostrils are clogged. Good to hear that she is better now.

    Pale face, doesn’t seem well

    I would still look her over for mites moving about on her skin under the vent, belly, wings, and neck. Check her crop first thing in the morning when it should be empty. Try to get her eating some cooked egg and some moistened chicken feed after checking her crop in the morning. Does she...

    Foamy discharge & sore on chickens eye- help!

    Have you seen any mosquitoes out lately? This could be fowl pox. A peck wound could also be the problem. Are there any bubbles in her eye?

    Worm infestation??

    Yes, the SafeGuard in the feed is usually not given to chickens as a wormer, since it is hard to know how much they need to get the right dosage. Reproductive disorders can also cause walking like a penguin. Have you tried to give her a dose of calcium or Tums orally, incase she has a stuck egg...

    Sneezing chicken no other symptoms

    Okay. I would keep an eye on her for the eye bubbles or nasal drainage, or for any other chicken showing signs. Hopefully, it is just some irritation. Have you added any new birds recently?

    Sneezing chicken no other symptoms

    It sounds like she is better today. Hay can mold if it gets wet, and that can irritate breathing.

    Penguin Stance and Mites

    Permethrin dust is good to treat the mites on the bird. They cannhatch every 5-7 days so check her again in 7 days in case she needs another treatment. Gordons or Martins Permethrin 10 liquid concentrate, which has to be diluted in water, and used with a spray bottle or garden sprayer is sold by...

    Sneezing chicken no other symptoms

    Try uploading the video to YouTube. Are ber nostrils clear. Did she start sneezing while she was eating? Inhaling dusty feed sometimes can cause sneezing. Look for any eye bubbles or foam as well in case of a respiratory infection.

    Worm infestation??

    It won’t hurt to use the Corid since she is failing. Do you have a picture of the label of SafeGuard? Is it 10% fenbendazole? The SafeGuard Equine Paste is as well at the same dose,and can be used. If it is in the feed, that might not work if she is not eating. Her droppings appear to have...
