    Chicken with bulge on shoulder and missing feathers and more missing feathers from their backs

I did call around myself and found one 45 minutes away. My husband was not thrilled that I a spending...

    PLEASE HELP !! EGGBOUND HEN

    thanks for the info. I will take the water away that has the duramycin but leave in the electrolyte water. I will also soak her and see if I feel anything. As I said she is eating and pooping fine. Wouldn't she stop pooping too?

    Please help! my chick is making gurgle sounds and not being lively

    I had a sick hen and used 1/8th tsp of durmyacin 10 in a cup of water. I got it from tractor supply. Maybe the same dosage in water will work as the chick won't drink as much water as a hen. It sure worked for my sweet girl!
