Wake up, wake up! I haz a chicken question ... [View all]

Has any of you dealt with ear infection in your poultry? I have a girl, Honey Butt, who has been fighting one for a while now. Vet is not in the budget, and I've tried (am trying!) antibiotics, ear cleaning, compresses, etc. Gets better but not gone.

She's my fav girl. Rides my shoulder like a parrot (well, until her balance got wonky with this), sits on my lap and is the happiest of the bunch to see me every morning! If I had any money I'd do the vet, but I haven't paid full rent on time for months. Just can't do it. I don't want her to suffer, but I just can't put her down.

Any ideas? Anything? I will do anything in my power!
