    Chronic on going whezzing despite tylosin treatment from vet.

    Hi, How old is your chicken? How long was she on the Tylosin? When was the last day of it? Sometimes it keeps working days after the antibiotic is done. Any other symptoms besides wheezing?

    Partial prolapse

    Hi, They sort of train their prolapse to stay in. It might be swelling up for some reason. You said you're transitioning back to layer feed. What were they on before? I'd try probiotics as there might be something awry in her digestive tract.

    Yoga mat or shelf liner for bottom of incubator?

    Hi! Yours looks like it circulates air underneath. Mine doesn't, it's a solid bottom. I use rubber shelf liner anyway. In your case, I think I would too. Congrats on the new incubator! Wishing you great hatches!

    Respiratory problem in chicken. Wheezing and labored breathing.

    Hi, and welcome to BYC! Pretty girl! That could be stridor, which is when a chicken gets something stuck in their throat or windpipe. If that's what it is, she should be able to clear it within a few hours. Just make sure she's drinking. If that's not it, it could be the symptom of a...

    Ways to humidify a homemade incubator

    Many folks don't have a turner and they have successful hatches. Many folks candle every single day, and they have successful hatches too. I wouldn't advise turning them by hand the first couple of days then as the embroyos in that stage are setting up. Conditions need to be stable, which...

    PLEASE HELP! possible aspiration, hen making constant drinking water motion.

    You're very welcome and hope she feels better soon! Since she's preening herself, and eating/drinking, those are good signs! We use a fingernail dremmel for our crossbeak. I noticed yours has a bit long of a top beak and just taking a little off might help.

    Ways to humidify a homemade incubator

    You need to get a hygrometer so you will know. Most of us purchase both all in one, hygrometer/thermometers. Many of us have Govee brand from Amazon, but there are several other brands that do a good job as well. Just make sure it's got good reviews hopefully from other folks with incubators. :)

    Official BYC Poll: How Many Chickens Do You Have?

    We ran as high as 110+ this summer. I was hatching chicks every five days and selling them fast, so that number varied. Come winter, other than our four old pet-quality silkies, just living out their days here, I kept only those I plan to breed or am growing out to see if they will be SOP...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    15°F, calm, partly cloudy. It was 41°F yesterday afternoon, then it rained. Then the temp dropped to single digits, and it snowed. Then the wind came up, and we had a blizzard. Hundreds of cars are reported in the ditches. Hubby's putting out sand on the deck, salt sand on the steps, and...

    Heater or heat panel -10

    That said, there is a member from Alaska who wrote this article. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/cold-weather-poultry-housing-and-care.72010/ They do not heat, and explain they live in a "warmer" part of Alaska where it doesn't get below -20F, and that their chickens are admittedly...

    PLEASE HELP! possible aspiration, hen making constant drinking water motion.

    Initially, I thought something stuck in her throat and she'd have most likely cleared that by now. Adding the swollen eye to that, she might have an infection causing mucous in her throat. You said her eye has swollen up before. Just one eye? Is this just one eye too? Was there an injury...

    Ah yes, I do know that feeling! They seem to come so much faster as we age too!

    Thank you, you too!

    Mango leaves

    Sometimes. Sparingly though, as in twice a week or so. A little kale or strawberries they like, in season. Kale is high in a lot of vitamins. Chickens can occasionally have a high level of vitamins/minerals; it's the long-term intake that can cause issues.

    fuzzi's Chicken Journal

    I don't recall ours having them. When they found an opening in the chicken wire around the garden a couple of summers ago, they mowed the kale down and picked at every tomato they could reach.
