Ok, I imagine the ointment and saline might help at least a little bit to make him more comfortable too. Thanks again for the info. I’m hoping the medication will do the trick. He still hasn’t developed any upper respiratory symptoms either, so hoping it will, is it possible for chickens to...
Ok, I am sorry. I had a really hard time trying to get a decent photo. I literally had like 15 photos on my camera roll, lol., then finally took this video. I didn’t know if maybe I would have better luck using video and if someone could pause it and then zoom in or something! I really...
i just remembered how! I hope this helps. It doesn’t really look like it’s swollen (his eye) it just looks sealed shut from discharge. But he’s been eating mash thats what I was feeding him in video to try a get a better view of his eye so that’s why I assumed it was mash and he was being a...
I have a video but I am not sure how to upload it I do remember I can’t upload it like I just did the photo though that much I remember. Can’t I use the liquid if I dose him orally directly in beak? (I know I read you shouldn’t put injectable in water bc they won’t get correct dosage that way) I...
I’m especially concerned now with my roosters latest symptom. About a few months ago, one day I went out to the coops and found the one rooster in question with a swollen comb. He had no other symptoms and was acting like his usual normal self, still eating, drinking, talking up a storm, etc...
Thank you! I know I’m very happy. Little by little we’re getting him back to his normal self. Just soak him in normal luke warm water? Or epsom salt mixture? Do you have any other suggestions? Like should I get him on probiotic or anything? There he is now with one of his friends he’s been...
Thank you I appreciate it! There were no lesions inside his beak that I was able to see! Or into the throat as far as I could obviously see Idk about farther back where it’s not visible to me though!
Yes! He is doing so much better eating and drinking. I sat and watched him. I didn’t hear him making anymore of those crazy noises when trying to eat or drink. And he actually was wanting to eat and drink which that in itself is a huge step! I also didn’t see anymore foam! Im going to go check...
Those were my thoughts as well so I checked already and no canker or anything that was visible inside the beak that I could see. That’s whats throwing me off too.(the foam)
I wanted to ask you @Wyorp Rock what are your thoughts on a ruptured air sac? Could that present the same perhaps?
We got...
I haven’t seen him eat or drink. I just got home from work at 5:30 and was packing my kids bags to go camping with their gma.
Yes, he still has foam.
Here’s two photos that I just took right now for you to see. I don’t know what’s going on or if I can do anything for him! This is throwing me...
This sounds like the mama is pecking them as they’re hatching.. very rarely do they actually assist a chick with hatching like we would (removing bits of shell) I don’t believe I have ever seen this. I think once and it was a fb video lol
3-4days ago I’m not sure if my one Silkie rooster got into a fight with another rooster or it was a predator.. but it seems like something is going on with his crop. He’s doing better I immediately started him on Nutridrench and some raw egg. Within hours he was up walking around and drinking on...
