I'm seeing a lot of helpful information on Ivermectin dosages here, however, I'm a bit confused as to when I need to reapply it for northern red fowl mites and scaly leg mites. I'm using the pour on 5 mg strength. I keep seeing a second dosage after 7 days but I'm also seeing after 10 days. And...
Hello!
Yesterday I noticed our welsh harlequin duck Ravioli was limping and hesitant to come into the pen from the pond for bedtime. They could still stand at that point but on one leg, hesitant to put pressure on their left leg.
We inspected their leg and foot last night for bumbles, heat...
So I’ve been raising my four gambel chicks and they’re all just over 2 months and now. Two of them are attached at the hip to me and two are scared to death of me. I just did a check up on all of them yesterday and they were all looking happy and healthy. Poos are normal, all the good stuff...
Long story short my female was beening attacked by her male. She was in rought shape and heart her left lag. Now for the past week she's been located in the barn so we can keep an eye on her. But when i went down today i noticed she was not wanting to put weight on her left leg. So i look and...
Hi!
I need some help figuring out how to support my sweet girl. Friday night, when we went to put our girls up for bed, Florence was laying in the coop, and did not get up to greet us like normal. Upon further encouragement, she didn’t get up either. 2 hours earlier she was just fine and...
Hi my chick has recently started walking really weird, it wasn’t like this when it hatched and idk what to do about this situation, will my chicken get any better?
Anyone ever run across anything like this? Looking for recommendations how to treat this curled toenail/swelling (left foot, back toe). How to know how much toenail to cut off?
I have a group of 7 week old chicks that have recently moved outside (it’s really hot here so the temperatures are okay). I had some issues with splayed leg in the past but by this point they were all looking healthy. About a week ago we noticed that one chick had some leg issues. Unfortunately...
Hatched some Blue Scale Quail about a week ago and currently have 5 in the brooder. One of them had some leg issues starting out and we were hoping getting into the brooder with the sand would help, but it seemed worse today. Is there anything we can try or do to help him? He's still trying to...
Hello everyone,
My names Tom and I’m from the south west of the U.K. I’ve come here seeking advice and also probably looking for some peace of mind at the same time. I’ve only had my ducks for a couple of months and spent a lot of time building them an enclosed area that has everything they...
Is this a slipped tendon? And is it at both the hock and the foot?
This duckling has had problems with this leg from the start, and either I couldn't see this before or it's somehow been injured since then. Some kind of developmental defect happened because that back toe is completely missing...
Hey everyone. So, I noticed my chicks hopping on one leg about a week in a half ago. Upon inspection I didn't notice any sores or cuts, just some swelling. I brought inside so she could be separated from the other chicks because they were trampling her. The following day it was even more swollen...
I have a little barred rock rooster who is on the small side and is around over 3 months old now I think. He started limping one day and it seemed to come and go, then I noticed him making a pain noise while drinking water so I checked his crop and he seemed to have sour crop. I massaged his...
So my young (6 months old) bantam hen is quite lame on her left front — this photo was taken prior to injury. There is swelling on the top side of her foot the size of a small gumball at the joint where the toes meet ( ankle?). I have her confined but other than finding an poultry vet does...
I have been treating my rooster for leg mites by gently washing and covering with Vaseline when I noticed both legs have some yellow gold skin. But one leg definitely has a large divet. Has anyone seen this and know what to do for it? He does seem to be walking fine. Thanks!
I've had a pullet that hasn't been able to walk for the past week. I though this might've been a leg injury so I set her up in her own with some food and water.
Today I found another pullet with the same symptoms. Laying to the side and unable to get up. I tried picking her up but she always...
Hello everyone,
My 8 year old hen has pretty raised scales on her feet and legs. I'm suspecting it is scaly leg mites, but wanted others opinions if you agree with this assumption. Also, I have a new flock of 11 week old chicks near her, they are separated by chicken wire however so they're not...
Last night, DH brought home four of the most adorable little French Wheaten Marans chicks, to add to the three Bielefelder and two SLW chicks he brought home the night before. (Whoops!)
He didn't really have the opportunity to pick them, the kid just grabbed four yellow chicks and put them in...
Hi there! We have some chickens that will be 12 weeks old tomorrow, Lord’s Willing! Sadly, a raccoon got into the pen a few nights back and got one of them :hit
Praise The Lord, the others all seemed okay, but we noticed one laying down more than others. She (he) is still eating and drinking...
