canker

three of my hens have canker. I’m going away on the tenth of August and I cannot leave it untreated. I have sitters that will be caring for the chickens, but prying open the hens mouths is a real challenge sometimes and I don’t know if they can do it. I was wondering if I could put anything in...

Hi there - I am a newbie member and a newbie chicken keeper in the UK. I bought a flock off a (what looked like)- reputable breeder 10 days ago and one of the hens has already died of oral canker. It should be mentioned here that they all developed infectious bronchitis the day after I picked...

Dear chicken friends, My beloved rooster seems to have a canker. Last summer I was being put through my chicken paces... Mites,worms, bumblefoot... I also hatched too many roosters. It being my first time, and they were so cute I didn't think I had the heart to cull them, and my three boys were...

When I went to do the chickens my sister pointed out to me that our Light Brahma, Jessica, was acting strange. Jessica had a darkish comb and when she hopped out of the coop she stumbled a bit. I picked her up and decided to look in her mouth and sure enough, there was a bunch of the smelly...

We have a gorgeous Faverolles hen, and a month ago I noticed a whitish lump inside her lower beak on the left, and she was occasionally shaking her head. We gave her Harkers 3 in 1 tablets, and for a few days she stopped shaking her head but within a week she'd started again. We took her to...

Recently my chickens have gotten canker and I was wondering if I could use Metronidazole 500mg that my mother's doctor prescribed to her last year (it expires this year in october). However, is there a difference between giving a chicken Metronidazole for humans and Metronidazole for...

I was searching up canker treatments and I found that you can use thyme extract. Apparently it works the same way as fish zole. Has anyone heard of this? Does this work?

Hi everyone, Been a long time since I've posted here. I hope someone here can help. I have a Partridge Rock that I believe has a canker sore in her mouth or back of her throat. Two days ago, we first noticed Polly was behaving peculiarly - not seeming to be interested in treats and...
