#BARE INKSLINGER SKIN#

They were separated by chainlink and chicken wire and have not caught this. I have some young chicks, also banties that I got from a feedstore who are in glowing good health. Please contact me at and I will send them to you. But I think the babies would get it, and as I said, they are beautiful and healthy. I've tried researching, and think it may be bronchitis. Some days the eyes are less swollen, some days more.

#BARE INKSLINGER SKIN#

But I notice that they scratch their skin patches often. One hen has red patches on the bare skin, but her eyes aren't swollen, and another has a very swollen eye but no discharge.Īll have eaten well through this process. I have 1 Mille Fleur left who has a swollen eye and yesterday there was a thin, milky and slightly bubbling fluid across her eye. One hen, who is not a game banty, but looks like a cross, has not caught whatever it is. He got very droopy and my husband dispatched him. He was gaping occasionally, scratching at his eyes, and his breathing was labored. The rooster never recovered and had to be destroyed. I called the feedstore and the owner recommended oxytetracline powder in their water for 7 days, and if no difference, go 14. Then two more hens came down with inflamed skin patches around the eyes, and all three had such swelling that one or both eyes were closed.

I thought initially, that the ants had just swarmed and overwhelmed the little Mille. The young rooster seemed to have ant bites on the bare spots around his eyes. They looked healthy.Ībout a week later, I found the Mille Fleur dead in the coop, fire ants swarming all over her from the night before. I've had chickens before - they are banties. I bought 5 young chickens about a month ago from an ad.
