Hi all, please refer to my other posts dated: Sept.12th, Sept. 19th, & Oct. 5th. to get more info. I'm trying to posts updates on my same posts but for some reason no one sees them or doesn't respond. So it seems I have to start a new thread just to posts updates. Here's what I tried to post...
Hi All, I bought these two products below at Tractor Supply today. I am dealing with a problem with one of my hens. The fellow at tractor supply recommended fly x. I've never used either one of these products before. I asked him for elector PSP because a lot of people highly recommend this even...
Thank you! Through my research it seems that she has lice! I guess I have my work cut out for me! The first time I've had to deal with this! I will try to see where I can get some Elector PSP or permethrin! I want to try and eradicate these pests ASAP!
Thank you! I agree! I'm not sure about AI! I think it has it's purpose but you should always use good judgement when using it! I'm thinking she has lice!
Hi All,
I wanted to post an update for you today of my hen "Summer"! I've been meaning to post sooner but I've been very busy! Please look at my prior post with the same titles dated Sept. 12 & Sept. 19th. These two posts will have more info and background as to what's going on.
So now with...
Hi DirdieBirdie, thank you for checking up on me and my hen and for your concern! I haven't updated for awhile! I have had a lot going on! I was planning on updating today or tomorrow. She doing okay. She's hanging on there! I believe she may just be molting and dealing with a leg/hip injury...
Okay understood. Thank you. Her condition is about the same. She only stands briefly to eat then lays down. I'm not sure if she's drinking water? Not sure if I'll have to end up force feeding her water? Also I tried giving her liquid vitamins and she kept fighting me! I'm gonna probably end up...
Thanks Coach 723, I will continue to monitor her. Wow possible kidney failure! That's not good! I will see about getting some grower feed for her. Also what vitamins and dosage do you recommend for her? I know you mentioned vitamin B. If I give her liquid vitamins what is the dosage on that? A...
RedHillChicken, wow! That's not good about her poop droppings. What does yellow mucus usually mean? No she doesn't seem bloated. I'll check her again today for bloating. Yes hopefully one of the experts will get involved! Thank you!
No she isn't. She's one of my strongest layers when she is laying. I did notice before she started having issues she kept laying soft shell eggs! So not sure why that is?
I know someone else had mentioned that sometimes before a chicken goes through molt their reproductive system can go...
Hi Fwoof, I agree! I don't really think she's sick! She's just dealing with a leg/foot injury! She may have jumped off a high spot in the coop and landed too hard? That's my guess but I don't know!
An Epson salt bath is a good idea! I was thinking about that too! I did notice she has a little...
Also here's a few pics of her droppings! Sorry it's kind gross! 🤮Viewer discretion advised! Lol! 😄 But they look normal to me! I didn't see any worms or anything crawling! So that's good!
