Might be mixed, not sure. Got from a local ad. Thank you! I need to check her feet

She's been on every medicine known to me - she's been to the vet (farm, not avian) and he's cleaned and flushed her eyes. She's a silkie hen - no other chickens are ill. She gets sinus gunk, really hard nasty stuff that comes up from her sinus and roof of her mouth into her eyes. She's...

Does anyone know the dose for this? I don't know what is going on with my chicken. She's been sick now for several months and I've tried everything. This is my last try. Have it on order. She eats, drinks and acts fine except she's had a bad respiratory issue going on and I can't get it...

I'm at a loss on what to do with my 4 chickens - I am posting in several sections hoping someone can help. I have 4 chickens. 1 silkie roo, unvaccinated, 1 silkie hen (vaccinated) and 2 ee pullets (vaccinated). Even though they are vaccinated they would still be carriers. Does anyone have...

I don't know if this will even be possible but I just can't cull. I have a pretty white silkie roo who is 1year and wasn't vaccinated. 1 year old partridge silkie hen, vaccinated. 2 ee's I recently got who are I'm going to say at least 18 weeks, give or take. Not laying yet. Would anyone...

Currently I have a pair of d'uccles and a pair of silkies. I had 4 more girls but they died from markes, so this is where I'm at now. I'm going to add more girls very soon. Coop - 4x4 - they stayed in the coop for a long time straight when we had a lot of snow. Couple weeks ago, I started...

I know I could be patient and wait, but I think my silkie might have laid an egg today (first one). My d'uccle has been now for 3-4 weeks, every single one in a nest box I ran out earlier today to check their water and found silkie in the box which isn't normal at all. But for some reason...

I got this and decided not to vaccinate my older chickens. Expires 2016, it's been kept cold. Zip is 43348, near Bellefontaine, OH. I'd drive a little bit to meet someone.

Hi - I have a d'uccle cockerel and a silkie cockerel. When my d'uccle kind of puts his wings out away from his body, is he trying to protect his girl from me? I usually pick him right up and kiss him (he's easy to pick up and I've always loved on him the most, I read recently that might not...

So, I started out with 1 d'uccle cockerel, 2 pullets, 2 bantam cochin pullets, 2 silkie pullets and ended up with a silkie cockerel. I thought that would be ok 2/6 - I know not ideal but I hoped it would work. Then, got Mareks and am left with 1 d'uccle cockerel and 1 pullet, 1 silkie...

I saw this last night. http://www.wishtv.com/news/local/6-chickens-die-in-shed-fire Very tragic. I'm actually using one myself. I'm going to make sure it's on cinder blocks and not sitting direct on the litter. (I only have it in the coop when it's so cold during the day and never at...

can wry neck be more like a 'zag' in the neck - kind of bent so neck goes to one side? Or does it have to be the hook? trying to determine if my d'uccle has that or it's a symptom of mareks (which we have). thanks!

I'll start off with my flock of 5 has been exposed to mareks, have lost 3 already. A d'uccle pullet seems to have wry neck now. I don't know if it's anything mareks related or not. I can feel the bend in her neck. I've been giving vitamin e, selenium and was giving a small dose of...

any age, older is fine. most important is the vaccine.

I feel bad my kiddos are out in the cold :( I knew this would happen because of how I am. edited: re-worded b/c I had called them babies, they are 6 months old. Not chicks. I'm just weird and don't like them being cold.

my pullet who has been ill with not sure what is dying. No movement today at all, no drinking, no pecking at food, only sleeping. I started tube feeding her 2 days ago. She pooped some brown poop (vs green) finally. I fed her today but she's going down fast. I didn't get the Kaytee exact...

I've posted on this pullet before. She seemed to have respiratory issues so I gave her tylan - even 2x a day for several days per a doctor. She was sneezing and had gotten so thin outside, I brought her in at least 2 weeks ago. She quit sneezing for the most part, but still just eats a...

My bantam cochin has been sick (seems the cooler weather has contributed) - I've had them all on duramycin for a week, then off for a couple days then back on for 14-15 days. Stopped for a week. Noticed she just looked really bad this evening and picked her up and she's very thin. I...

I noticed a few days ago that my d'uccle pullet (5-1/2 mo) is extremely bony and her crop never goes down. I think it might go down some, but it's allways got a decent amount of stuff in it. I'm not sure what to do, I saw olive oil and water, but she's pretty thin and I'm not sure that's a...

Earlier in the summer I got a couple silkies, had sneezing issues but got them cleared up. It's been a while since they have quit sneezing. Now, my chickens (I think all of them, not just the silkies) are sneezing. Any clue why? I am concerned about this once it gets cold out. It hasn't...
