I have no idea what one can buy in a chemist on any day for sour crop in a chicken. The last time I used a chemist I mentioned what I was after (Calcium Citrate) was for a chicken and they refused to serve me.:confused: Apparently pharmacies are not allowed to sell you anything they believe may...

Hello people. Please excuse me butting in. It may have been mentioned before but as far as I'm aware flockdown finishes in the UK on the 18th of this month.:wee

Apologies not necessary. It's one of my "sensitive" subjects.:) One can read all sorts of nonsense on the internet. When it comes to medication and matters that may affect the health and life of other creatures the people who give the advice, well intentioned or not, accurate or not, do not have...

I'm not at all happy doing this. Prescribing antibiotics and recommending dosages should be done by a vet. If drugs haven't been prescribed by a vet and the drug has been aquired by other means then the reality should be you are on your own regarding risk and dosage. The internet and/or vetinary...

Tsk, tsk, caught you with chickens in the house.:p I can just mop the floor but what do you do given you've got carpet?

He's still there.:lol: He'll grow out of it eventually. He's a special needs cockerel.;)

You could try making a mash. Add warm water to a bowl of feed, enough to make it wet but not so runny that you can pour it. I've had some problems getting the chickens here to eat various dry foods, some don't like it and would rather forage, others just pick out the best bits and throw the rest...

That should help with funding.

Fortunately I don't have to walk there. I go on a trail bike. They are Catalans which is what should be here. They are probably past egg laying age, maybe not.:confused: Don't care really.:)

I've got a Christmas present coming.....3 rescue chickens; one rooster and two hens.:celebrate Going to have to build another coop. They are down in the village at the moment in quarantine. Really nice man from Morocco found them up on the ridge. It's quite common for people (?) to abandon them...

I know so little about breeds it's laughable.

@Sneebsey. May I ask where and why you learn't about breeding genetics? I've been watching your responses on another thread.

I just can't argue with this. Dink, who I have been lifting out of the Magnolia tree for 5 years now who is having a sever moult this year pecked me tonight even after I had considerately not touch her body and balanced her on my hand! Talk about pissy!:D
