    Dosage of aspirin for chickens, I am confused as both are giving different dosages

    Hi - does it matter the coating of the tablet? Or if using liquid suspension, are any flavors/dyes toxic?

    Vent gleet - completely cement-like and impossible to remove?!

    I’m glad Fern could help! Her recovery was fast once I got in the groove with her treatment. I think she went back outside after a week. The baths helped a lot; messy butt = irritated butt. She’s doing great a few weeks later but I did notice some poopy eggs the past day or two. Hope your girl...

    Chicken hospital wing (pun!) in coop?

    Do any of you keep a space for healing chickens in your coop or run? I have been keeping them inside, but I am getting super sick of it. I use one of those rugged plastic dog crates, and I feel confident that it’s bullying-proof, but I don’t know whether it’s predator proof. If keeping them...

    Please help - Trying to hatch my favorite, recently deceased hen’s last egg

    Thanks everyone. I’ve decided to let her best friend, Polly (the silver leghorn), sit on a few eggs that I think are Maisy’s (the white leghorn). Polly is quietly recovering inside from some light wounds from the rooster anyway. Wish us luck 🩷

    She tucks up her vent after a bath. But then when she goes to poop, she strains so that it comes out again.

    I edited my post to include a pic! I just watched her peck her own butt trying to clean it but otherwise I don’t suspect pecking
