    Unbalanced Hen, trouble standing, Toe curling

    Just an update…Pewee is done with her round of meds as of yesterday and seems like her respiratory symptoms are like 75% better. Clearer vocalizations with less beak clicking and head shaking. Shes stronger tries even to push open her enclosure and likes to go walkabout if she can. There’s still...

    Unbalanced Hen, trouble standing, Toe curling

    Thanks for letting me know I have been getting most of my meds from pigeon supplies. She’s doing okay eating well balance is better but she still has some issues and respiratory symptoms. I had her on Poultry cell which has the Bs but I have to withhold it while on the other meds. I am also...

    Unbalanced Hen, trouble standing, Toe curling

    Thank you! She should be vaccinated because of the hatchery that she was bought from typically vaccinates all the chicks that go to Tractor supply. She’s doing better but still is showing respiratory symptoms like a cold (shaking her head to clear up congestion) it’s gotten better a couple days...

    Unbalanced Hen, trouble standing, Toe curling

    My bad so it’s Duramycin/ tetracycline I put her on. She’s a lot improved today so we’re back on tract. She’s been eating a lot and drinking well. She’s walking around in a small pen too. That’s great to hear your hen spontaneously recovered Eggsessive! I hope mine pulls through. I’ve been...

    Unbalanced Hen, trouble standing, Toe curling

    Thank you! I ordered some of that but since it’ll take 2 days to get here I’m staying with the Doxy for right now. It should be affective against a few things plus those you mentioned. When she started laying again 2 weeks ago eggs were pretty normal which doesn’t really point to a repro...

    Unbalanced Hen, trouble standing, Toe curling

    Hi So my Barred Rock Hen that is approx. 3.5 years old, named Pewee is going downhill again. She is unable to stand up very long and balance well and sitting ends up on her side with her toes curled in and she’s unable to right herself and push up enough to stand with them. If I stand her up and...

    Prolapse Question

    I would start with the first with the soap and water like you did and then soak her whole bottom end in a warm sitz bath of epsom salts. Do this 2x/day. When you get it to shrink try to put it back up there with honey, ky, or hemorrhoid cream. The sitz will clean it and shrink it. If you have...

    Self Blue (Lavender) Silkie Thread

    I read somewhere that if the shell is too thin the membrane will become thicker in the bator as it develops b/c of it drying out and then be difficult for the chicks to hatch out...so maybe calcium or other nutrition considerations for the breeders. That's frustrating though... maybe rechecking...

    Silkie Pictures ~*Sundown Silkies*~

    Luv the pics! I am hoping mine from this year feather out some where even close to yours. Think I have 2 females but it's still too early. Do you sell your extra males or eggs?
