    Oxine antifungal information

    I don’t like just taking someone’s word for something, it’s caused problems for me in the past and let’s be honest, a lot of people spread bs around without realizing it’s bs, like the medicated feed toxic to waterfowl myth for example. So I was curious about Oxine’s supposedly curing birds of...

    How to Correctly Wrap a Chicken's Foot!

    I finally did it: I created an article on how to wrap chicken feet. I consider myself a little bit of an expert because I’ve been dealing with an ungodly amount of bumblefoot in the flock lately. *sigh* Wrapping feet is necessary after any sort of foot pad surgery (most commonly to treat...

    Bumblefoot- How aggressive to treat this?

    My hen, Maude, has bumblefoot on both feet for the second time. About this time last year she got it for the first time. The last time it wasn't as bad as this, but I removed the scabs and treated with tricide-neo and it did the trick. Since then, I have learned that if there isn't any redness...

    Help! Is this water belly?

    I think my 4-year old hen may have water belly, but I'd never heard of it before I started researching her symptoms. I thought she had coccidiosis a few months ago and I thought I'd lose her. However, I treated her and she seemed to recover well but has not laid eggs since. About 4 weeks ago...

    Sticktight Fleas and Treatment

    Hello all, I was checking over my bantams yesterday and found these tiny brown bugs attached to the skin around their combs and in the folds of their waddles. I used a pair of tweezers to pick and pull off what I found. They're stubborn and stay attached to the skin, I had to tug them off. Not...

    Another cure on the horizon/ cryptosporidium

    Based on everything I’ve read cryptosporidiosis isn’t treatable, the amoeba parasite resists pretty much anything thrown at it, odds of survival depend on the immune status of the victim infected by it. But the university of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine just cracked it with a...

    Scaly leg mite treatment - Do I have to wash their feet every time before I apply vaseline? And are the fallen scales infectious?

    Pretty much as stated above! Is washing their feet and brushing the scales with a toothbrush necessary before I give them their vaseline treatment? Or can I just apply the vaseline after I wash their feet on the first day? My time is limited and I can only commit so much time everyday to washing...

    Younger ducks getting feathers plucked out

    I recently got two Khaki Campbell ducks and now they’re fully feathered and seemed to get along okay with the older ones however lately I’ve noticed some feathers missing on their chests. And the others will occasionally bite at them. I hoped it wasn’t a big deal but I guess it got a lot worse...

    Impacted/sour crop

    My chicken has impacted crop that I believe has turned into sour crop (a little smelly) I have massaged and massaged and it doesn't seem to be working. I read that a chicken like this should have no access to food as it can make it worse. So yesterday I took away her food and put her in a cage...

    Goose eye red and swollen. Was fine an hour ago.

    Hello, I came to check on my geese, I do it every hour when they are outside. It was fine last time I was out. I think it was a bug bite and the gosling scratched his eye and irritated it. What should I use for treatment? Should I cover his toenails to prevent further damage? Thanks in advanced.
