Hello, I have an old chicken, over 6 years old and she isn’t really eating much. She’s recently been on antibiotics, so not sure if that has upset her tummy. I’ve been giving her avi lyte and avi mineral, does anyone have any suggestions of an energy slurry or high nutrient slurry they make to...

Thank you both for your response. I didn’t think she put her breast on the roost at night, but now I’ve been checking every night, she does! I have isolated her with another antibiotic chooky and wrapped their roost in a few layers of fabric until I get a pool noodle. Thank you!

Hi All, I have an Orpington hen who has been acting a bit off the last few days. We are unsure of her age, as we inherited her when we purchased our house. She is at least 6 years old. She has been withdrawn and not eating as she usually would. I picked her up a few weeks ago and she was her...

Hi All, we inherited an Australorp Chicken, approx 4 years old. She seems to have a stubborn respiratory infection. It was so bad that when she put her head down to eat, she could only have a couple of pecks before having to put her head up to breathe - a gasping type of breathing. I’ve taken...

Vet said it was definitely Bumblefoot in both feet. He said it was a pretty bad case and that she would have been that way for quite some time as the disease appeared to have grown into the bone. It was so bad on a couple of toes that the nails had fallen off. He said that if we were to treat...

I took her to the vet today. The prognosis was not good. She was put to sleep. I have a very heavy heart. Thanks for your advice everyone.

Ok thanks. I have looked for Chlorhexidine here in Australis and these are the two things I’ve been able to source. The Savlon being the easier of the two to obtain. Should the Savlon be on to use on chicken foot? Bumblefoot is out and about with her sisters this morning exploring, I had to go...

Awwww our poor chicken!! We inherited these chickens when we purchased a house about a month ago and they are in such poor condition. I am located in Victoria, Australia so we don’t have neosporin or vetericyn gel. In Australia, we cannot purchase anything with antibiotics over the counter, we...

Hi all, Whilst dusting my chickens this morning for lice and mites (we have an infestation), I noticed these scaly, lumpy legs and feet. They look so uncomfortable! What does it look like to you? Scaly leg mites?

Also, when you say “secondary” fungal infection, does that mean it started somewhere else??

Thank you!! I am from Victoria, Australia. I purchased some Coopex today after your advice. I can’t seem to find permethrin here-even online, except from amazon and eBay with exceptional shipping charges Coopex comes in powder form, and you mix it with water, I’ll post a photo of the sachet. I...

Hi All, We have acquired a flock of Orpingtons with the purchase of a property. We have no previous experience with chickens, but my my my aren’t I learning a thing or two!! One of our black Orpingtons faces is grey. All the other black and blue ORPS have red faces and combs. I don’t know...
