Hi all!

 

I am just wondering what else I can do. I have a hen who is regurgitating seed. She seems in very nice shape, I was planning on breeding her.

But upon expection, I have realised she regurgitats seed every minute or so. She seems fine in every other aspect. I have been told this is a sign of canker or coccidiosis? My flock has been treated for both over the past six months.

 

Does anyone else know? I can't think of anything else. Please some help. Right now she is in a holding cage, but I want to know if I can breed her or not, as she is in THE most perfect condition, I have been waiting her out for weeks.

 

Thanks!

 

PS. I will try and get a short video

I wouldnt breed with her, it sounds like canker to me. I would be treating her with Ronivet and sorry, I wouldnt even try putting her down for another six months, if she comes through.

She has been treated for canker, but I may try again?

I agree

Seperate her from the others and treat her on her own.

 

Also give the aviary birds another round of RoniVet.

 

Better safe than sorry.

okay, I have put ronivet in all of their water. Is there any way I can make sure she get's it into her? She is in a seperate holding cage in the house.

If that is the only water she has access to, you can be pretty sure she will get some. Alternatively, you can crop her with a small amount to make sure.

best way is to

put bit of medicated water in a finger draw and thats the only water she has access to

also take her water away for 8 hours then put the finger draw in she will go straight to it and drink that way

when shes drank that just replace the water in the finger draw with more medicated water as needed (when gone )

Excellent advice

I don't have any finger draws, but I will look into getting some! That is good thanks. Right now, I took her water away for the day, and put it in this afternoon. She went straight to it and drank
