I use gelatin capsules for giving meds to any of the girls. For the Fluconazole I stuck it in a size 1 gelatin capsule and just get her beak open and pop it down. Also could wet a piece of bread and put the Fluconazole on it and a bit of butter over the whole thing to hide the meds and she...

Avian vets will see any bird including poultry. There are quite a few avian vets in North Carolina, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting her to one. I'd be fairly certain too that if you do a good ring around you'll find regular vets who will also see your hen and may be able to provide an...

I'm in Ireland, Europe. To prevent her from laying she'd need to be kept in around the clock for about a week. Then you could gradually let her out for an hour here and there. It's much easier to get her an implant. Total pain in the ass having to keep them in the dark all the time, plus they...

The Fluconazole should work on a semi-full crop without you having to get the contents removed. My girl's crop was much improved after the 1st tablet and I didn't do any crop emptying with her. Yeah she could easily have a repro issue that's causing or adding to the problem. Mine had a repro...

Hi. I'd give her 2-3mls of garlic water (cloves blended up in water) every 2-3 hours and leave some kefir out for her to eat freely. If no improvement after 3 days of this treatment I'd get a prescription for Fluconazole from the vet. This will do the trick provided there's no blockage past the...

Yes I know sour crop can be a nightmare. I'll give the back story in case it will help anyone else with a similar issue. Get the coffee out and brace yourselves for an essay😅 So this lady presented with a full crop of liquid and a hard, swollen abdomen. I treated the sour crop at home for 5 days...

Ok and in your experience will it go to work on the yeast from inside her crop (which is full to brim with fluid) without having to pass through her gut? Because this tablet won't be able to pass through her crop to be digested if you get me? It's not going to get past all the fluid and I can't...

Thank you. It's definitively sour crop. Crop full of fluid, regurgitating liquid. No impaction and she has been checked by the exotic vets who have said there is no blockage further on. I need a recommendation for an anti-fungal that will work direct as it hits the crop. Nothing is getting...

Hi Azygous! Location is Ireland, Europe. Would Fluconazole be an option?

Hi All, I have a hen with sour crop. Regurgitating liquid, etc. I need a recommendation on an anti-fungal that will treat the yeast directly in her crop without having to go through her digestive system as nothing is getting through her crop at the moment with all the liquid. It's not an option...

Be careful of the dosages with the essential oils here guys. For example she has under oregano oil 1ml per chicken as a dosage, she doesn't say whether that's diluted or undiluted. 1ml of undiluted oregano oil would poison a chicken. She has similar doses of 1ml - 5ml under the essential oils...

Hi @Lillith37 and everyone. My hen is fine now. I upped the cayenne pepper to 1/4 gram x twice daily and her comb went back to its normal colour the next day and she is fine since. Continuing to add a couple of pinches daily to her feed in case it was circulation. Cayenne is great for this...

Hi there. First thing to do is give her the calcium. Mine get 4mls of liquid calcium when egg bound and each ml equates to 240mg of calcium. So yes it's a lot but it never does them any harm and 9 times out of 10 they will pass the egg within 2-3 hours once they've had this. I think in the US...

I'm in Ireland, so raining non-stop. Her breathing perfect, no respiratory issues. She getting ginger powder with a pinch of cayenne daily in case it is circulation. I'm hoping it's just a combination of the implant, molt, favus and the topical cream I'm using to treat it. That's why I'd love to...

No her comb is really dark. As mentioned in original post I took a series of pics but it wasn't showing up properly in the pics. May have been the lighting. I've just added another now. The flaky skin/favus she had prior to implant and molt. It appears improved in the picture because I have been...

Hi All, My 2.5 year old hen recently had a Suprelorin implant which has put her into a heavy molt. My concern is her comb. Her comb has gone very dark since the molt began. Usually I find with implant and molt the comb will shrink and go pale, although I have had one hen whose comb remained red...

Ok was able to get her a vet appointment for this evening. Vet managed to get it out. He had problems getting to also, as was behind a layer of flesh as I was saying but he eventually managed to manipulate it out. The relief!!! It was a fairy egg, tiniest egg ever! Such a tiny egg to cause that...

Hi Eggcessive, thanks for quick response. Ok so enough calcium for now. The problem is the egg is about 2 inches back and I can't get behind the the layer of flesh to determine whether it's hard-shelled, soft-shelled or lash. So I can't get into where the egg is if you understand me, can only...

Hi guys, My 2 year old hen is egg bound since yesterday. The egg is stuck about 2 inches in. Fortunately it is not blocking her vent, so she is pooping, eating and drinking as normal and is showing no physical signs of distress. This query is regarding calcium doses. So I gave her 1000mgs of...

As in Marek's? No pretty sure it wasn't. They presented as feather follicle cysts under her vent initially and antibiotics cleared them. I opened one to drain it and what came out is the exact same material as is in follicle cysts. So that's how they started out. Then she was taken to the exotic...
