    Ivermectin for ducks and where to buy?!?

    I've read a lot about giving ducks ivermectin for gapeworms and giving it to them orally but all I can find online is injectable, pour on, and paste. If anyone can help me get in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

    Lice/mites/something on baby chicks

    Hi, So I've let a broody Barnevelder hen hatch some chicks, and she abandoned three that had the same markings, and all had these weird mite things on them. I'm not sure exactly what these mite things are, but they are really tiny, brown and shaped like a miniature flea. There are hundreds of...

    Hen rubbing eye/nictitating membrane HELP

    Hi, feeling pretty desperate. My hen had slow crop/sour crop and has been lethargic but after treating her with nystatin she is improving. However, she’s not back to 100% and I’m noticing her rubbing at her eyes and her nictitating membrane is really visible quite often. It’s as though the...

    Broiler management

    Hi BYC, I got 50 broiler chicks and sufficient building material to construct one tunnel (a second one would be necessary so I could split the flock) but then lockdown happened and I couldn't get material for the second tunnel (our clever government doesn't realise that there's more to looking...

    What is this on the skin of 8-week-old?

    Noticed this when moving them outside for the first time, they had only ever been in a brooder so I’m not sure what it could be? And how to treat? It’s just this one chicken. Thanks

    BALD SPOTS!!- Bantam rooster

    I noticed a couple months ago that my rooster has these bald spots near his comb. Even though he is the dominant rooster I thought maybe the other rooster pulled some feathers out. My coop has also been treated for mites. He is the only chicken in this pen that looks like this. I also thought it...

    Ducklings hatched with Yolk not fully absorbed.

    I had a time crawling all over internet articles that pertain to ducklings and chicks hatching with their yolks not being fully absorbed. Which seems to be surprisingly rare. This may sometimes occur when the duckling/chick is premature. All of the articles I came across had rather sad...

    Hi everybody. I have 12 barred rock pullets, probably about 8 weeks old. This morning, we had been free ranging them, and noticed one was not hanging out with the others. We found her hiding underneath a parked car, with her wing missing a lot of feathers. Upon further inspection it turned out...

    Lice!

    So I got a rescued racing homer pigeon the other week, and today I was handing him as normal when I got home from work and I felt something crawling on me. It was two long, thin bugs. I googled, and sure enough, they're feather lice. They look exactly like this...

    Can wry neck caused by trauma be cured?

The other however has developed what I believe to be wry neck. He doesn’t act like he’s in pain although when he gets...

    Suspected Wry Neck - Treatment?

    Hi, I have a 9yr old Australorp hen and noticed when I went to lock her up tonight that her head is slightly tilted to the side. She seems to be able to balance ok (though not well) at this stage and was still able to eat. From my research she may have wry neck. Nothing has changed in terms of...

    Hen very lethargic, pale droopy comb, etc.

    Hi all, trying to get some insight on what to do from here. We have a hen who is about 2 1/2 years old and has always been super sweet and gets along with all her coop-mates. About a week ago she stopped roosting and was sleeping on the ground which caused us to examine her. We found two old...

    Treating Bumblefoot - A Simple Surgical Approach

    Our beloved Gold Laced Wyandotte hen, Goldie, was limping around the other day. My wife picked her up, and I immediately noticed Goldie's right foot was very swollen. It was a clear sign of bumblefoot. Our flock is only a bit over a year old, and we haven't ran into many health problems. We...
