Remember that most of these have not been authorized for use on food animals (egg or meat), so you use them at your own risk! Many vets recommend withdrawal periods of 2 weeks to a month.

Some of these doses are different than a vet prescribed for my chickens (this list is for pigeons, which are much... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (calpsychik) http://backyardchickens.yuku.com/topic/11907 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:31:18 GMT http://backyardchickens.yuku.com/topic/11880/t/Predator-Attacks-Fowl-Cholera-Domestic-Cats-Rodent-Control.html

Did a clear (with a few white flecks) poo, not really eating today and very listless when she's usually full of chat and movement. Haven't given anything yet will be taking her to Vets in AM, just separated her from my other 3 ladies. I'm new to chicken keeping any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

She was eating well, not acting sick at all, very active and her usual friendly self. She was a six month old silky bantam.

We are very nervous about causing any damage to the feet because THE MOMENT the scabs are disturbed, they bleed profusely & there is no sign of any pus or solid plug as described by others who have experience of treating Bumblefoot.

I had to deworm my hens (evidence of worms) and I've used Piperazine 17. I was told at our local feed store, Agway, when I bought the product that it had no affect on the eggs--they posted that next to it on the shelf. Lately, however, I did a search and found opinions stating that you should throw out the eggs for the same amount of time as antibiotic treatment.

Please help clear this up for me because now I'm confused as to what to do.
