    White spot at corner of eye

    The vet did an eye stain and said she has a scratch going strait across her eye! So they gave us Terramycin ointment to use for 10 days (good call on your part you suggested the same thing!), and 2 days of Meloxicam to help with discomfort. They say the white thing seems to a part of her eye...

    White spot at corner of eye

    My 3 month old Uma has a white spot in the corner of her eye. I've noticed since I got her at 1 month old. Didn't think too much of it but a few days ago her eyelid was swollen and her eye was bothering her. She kept it closed a lot and tried rubbing it against her body. It's improved now...

    What do you think about this feed brand? (Scratch and Peck Organic Chicken Feeds)

    I was recommended Scratch & Peck feed by a friend when I got chicks 4+ years ago. I exclusive use it now. I use both the Layer 'pellet' (in my treadle feeder), and the Layer 'mash' formula, wetted. The mash formula has grains, etc separated from all the added goodies which is sort of powdery...

    Pullet keeping 1 eye closed

    Thank you for the response! Can I get Terramycin without a prescription? No respiratory or sinus issues in my flock of 10. Everyone is good and healthy!

    Pullet keeping 1 eye closed

    My 12 week old Owl Beard seems to be having an issue with her left eye. Just started today and she's keeping it shut a lot. I can't see anything obviously wrong with it except the eyelid may be a little swollen. Her eye itself looks fine. I just cleaned it out with a sterile saline solution...

    Grandpa feeder Mess

    Do you have the grill piece that lays on top of the feed installed? It should move up and down based on feed amount level, and lays on top of the feed. I have a Grandpa feeder that I've used for about 1.5 years and have had very limited issues with girls pecking out food. It's been better than...

    Grandpas vs RentACoop Treadle Feeder

    Hi! I would recommend the Grandpa's feeder! Still using it and haven't had any rat problems with it. I'm not using the Rent-A-Coop but I think I got a defective one since the guard that keeps the feed from being pecked out can't be removed and doesn't move up and down freely with feed...

    Not crazy if you have the time and means to provide them the proper care (sufficient, secure space; feed; fresh water daily; health checks regularly; healthcare when needed).

    FBCM leg feathers at 6 weeks

    I just looked on Hoover's website and they actually don't say that they either have clean or feathered legs! I got her from the local feed store anyhow, and actually asked them to find the cleanest legged girl in there! But it is interesting because she had more leg feathers when I 1st got her:

    FBCM leg feathers at 6 weeks

    Oh what a cutie...and those legs!

    Hunched 1-month old, she ok?

    She improved throughout the day and acting quite 'normal' now! But i think I'll do the CORID anyways since it can't hurt, right? Is it ok to give CORID even if they eat a medicated feed with Amprolium already? The other 3 girls will be drinking the same water if that changes anything.

    FBCM leg feathers at 6 weeks

    My nearly 6 week old French Black Copper Marans from Hoover's Hatchery has hardly any feathers on her legs/feet. Does this mean that she'll stay this way as she grows and ages? Or could she still develop a lot. (I'm hoping it stays minimum since she's my 1st feathered feet girl and I live in...

    Hunched 1-month old, she ok?

    I did a quick check when I picked her up yesterday. And just did a thorough one...vent area, preen gland, back, and under wing. Looks good no mites or lice. Seller says she's used to a heat lamp so she might be chilled. She hasn't figured out the brooder plate yet. I'll move it over her...
