Has anyone used the brinsea ecoglow brooder for their chicks? From what I've seen on BYC it is a pretty handy tool. I wanted to get the VPA input before I made the investment.Thank you!
I just found my three ladies dust bathing in an area that the cats use as their litter box. I shooed them away and was going to put chicken wire over the area to prevent the chickens from dust bathing in there again but I'm not sure of all the other…
"I have a follow-up question. How long is everyone leaving their eggs out? or do you refrigerate them right away? I have been leaving my eggs out for about 1-2 weeks. We normally eat them up pretty quickly but there have been times when we may have…"
"That sounds very likely! We've found screws and other amazing things in the gullets of our turkeys and chickens that we've butchered. I hope she can pass it quickly!"
"Thank you Chrystine for all of your help and your suggestions. It was so comforting to see your posts. "
"Okay got back from the vet. Ms. Thomson, thank you for the referral. Dr. Slobodan was great. The dr.took out about 3/4 of a liter of a clear fluid. An xray showed a foreign object. We're thinking she ate a bolt or washer and is suffering from metal…"
"Thank you Sheri. We couldn't feel anything in her vent. You have given me a bit of hope. Everything I've read about internal laying and severe egg binding has been a bit negative, so hopefully it is something that can be easily taken care of with…"
"The saline sitz bath sounds like a great idea. In aquaculture, fish parasites are more sensitive to salt than fish, so salt water is used to effectively dehydrate the parasites. I'm guessing this may be the same with the maggots. It's something like…"
"Thank you Chrystine but I think it is egg binding. She walks like a penguin, has a very full stomach and sits around instead of foraging in the yard. I'm taking her to the vet on Wednesday. Poor Miss Hilda. "
"Hilda is hanging in there. We are now speculating internal laying or a prolapse oviduct. The swelling under her vent is still prevalent. We thought it was egg binding but we've soaked her in a warm bath everyday and applied a bit of ky jelly in her…"
"Hilda watch day 3: still no maggots and the swelling has significantly reduced. She still walks and then sits but her wound is still pretty bad. I still don't know how she got her severe cut but my husband and I are speculating she was severely…"
"I'm super excited there are no more maggots. The strange thing is we had just moved the coop a week ago to the current location. Thank you for the acv and bleach water tip. I had heard something about coconut oil as an effective antibiotic. Any…"
"Day two: checked hilda for maggots and no maggots. She walks around a bit but then sits and rests and her backside seems to "pump". We washed her wound out with peroxide and then washed it out with iodine/water solution then added neosporin. We…"

"I had great luck with Palm Glen Animal Hospital. Doctor Svoboda.
He took care of my little guinea fowl after it was attacked by a cat.
I'll look for the contact info and post it. Best of luck!"

"Does anyone know of a vet who treats chickens in central Phoenix? I'm afraid she may need to see one. I really have no idea what is going on back there but it's pretty gruesome.
Thank you everyone."
Thank you everyone."
