That is awesome!! I will do that for sure! Thank you

There is ventilation that actually can’t be seen along the entire roof line :) I have learned to completely ignore the YouTube “police” lol. I didn’t include it in the video bc it was getting too long as it was and so many details I just couldn’t get into for the sake of time. And thank you...

I totally agree on the predator apron!

One of my hens sustained really bad injuries to her eyes from being attacked by another hen. She is almost totally blind -- one eye is 100% blind and the other I belive she can see movement and light and dark. I wasn't sure if she'd ever fully recover, but after living in my house for about 2...

Here are her healed, but blind, eyes.

I absolutely will when I get the chance this weekend!!

I recently posted about my leghorn who was blinded by another flock mate. Both her eyes were pecked at basically to the point that she can only see light and dark and possibly movement but that’s it. I had her on antibiotics for 10 days and she’s made a full recovery! Though she can’t see, she...

Hi! I took some (rather poor) photos of what’s on my microscope slides, at 40x and then 100x with oil. Can anyone help me indentify anything on these slides? I’m so bad at figuring this stuff out. Please see photos. Ps. I did these with fecal floats w/centrifuge Thank you!!

That’s my first line of defense for sure! The gel capsules would sort of be plan B . Thank you!

I would like to make my own concoctions to help a hen who is sick, though seemingly on the mend, and I’d like to put some supplements/medication into those clear gel capsules. depending on what I’m giving her it’s easier to give her a pill than to risk aspiration with a liquid. The clear gel...

Creams that are used for vaginal yeast infections in women are very good for this, apply to the affected area after first cleaning with water. I would also suggest giving micanazole suppositories orally. I’ve never treated it naturally, with a nasty infection like this it really needs more big...

Bump. Any replies are super helpful!

I have a 4 year old golden comet hen. (Lifespan is typically 3-5 years) She had sour crop and I successfully treated it. No more infection, weird smells or drooling liquid. I was hoping once treated she’d go back to her old self, but she is drinking almost no water and eating only sporadically...

I have a 3 year old golden comet hen (White Rock hen x New Hampshire rooster sexlink crossbreed). She has lately been presenting with droopy wings, droopy tail, fatigue and in the past couple days it’s gotten worse. I brought her inside into the hospital pen to observe and noticed when she...

I LOVE the idea of getting her a silkie! We live in a cold climate in the winter (NYC) so I need to see if silkies can handle that though. A lot of things you said I was thinking also so I’m glad to hear you validate that!

My leghorn recently lost both of her eyes to bullying (they were pecked out poor thing) and I’m crossing my fingers that she heals well. I’m giving her doxycycline in her water as well as antibiotic eye drops (and for good measure oxine nebulizing treatment once or twice a day though she’s not...

I have a chicken that recently went blind and is still recuperating inside my house. I want to eventually put her back outdoors but want to keep her separated from my current flock. (They pecked her eyes out from bullying) I’m wondering what considerations I might make to her pen and coop that...

Wow, I truly can’t believe it but I think you’re right!! At least one eye is gone and the other is either gone or badly damaged. I’m horrified lol. I’m wondering how long it will take her eyes to heal so I can put her back outside? I’m thinking I’ll need to build a second pen and small special...

I have a 5 month old leghorn hen, approx 3 lbs. We went away for Christmas break and when we returned, she was completely blind with what looks like severe infection in both eyes. One eye is worse. The eyes are quite swollen/protruding and have a gelatin-like, cloudy appearance. She keeps them...
