    HELP! Bantam Cochin - ruffled feathers

    I would treat everyone with Corid. Usually older birds have built resistance to coccidiosis, but it won’t hurt to treat them all. Corid usually is found locally at most feed stores. I would give the you png birds the drench of undiluted Corid when you get it. Make sure they drink the water.

    Large neck open wound with wheezing from hawk attack

The triple antibiotic ointment should be kept on the wound so that it does not dry out until she is healing. I would keep the others safe in their run until the problem with...

    Chick's Butt sounds like dawn dish soap

    Maybe she is passing air. I would stop giving oatmeal. She should only be given chick starter at her age. Does she have any puffy spot of air under her skin any where on her body?

    HELP! Bantam Cochin - ruffled feathers

    Sorry for your loss. Yes, that is the Corid you want and it is also for chickens. Dosage is 2 tsp (10 ml) into each gallon of water given as the only water source for 5-7 days.

    Upper Respiratory?

    I would probably use the expired Tylan 200 orally as long as it was kept clean. Dosage is 0.1 ml 3-4 times a day. If she starts drinking well the Tylosin in the water would be good.

    Broken egg in vent

    Was the shell or have the recent shells been soft or thin? If not, and since she passed the shell, I probably would not. But if they were, it would not hurt.
