Thank you so much again for taking time to reply. I'm so sorry to reply so late but I had a lot on my plate. I did ask around and my neighbour's 2 chicks died a week before my flock was affected. However, I cannot be certain that it was from them as only my alpha roo hangs around at their place...

Thanks for all the suggestions Sarevan, but, I'm sorry to tell you that our whole flock has been wiped out with this disease/virus(?). Only the ducks are still alive. If I bring a new set of chicks to start over, will they be susceptible to whatever happened here, and what can i do to prevent...

Thank you gander007

I hope it's something less serious too.Thanks for the link and the information. Very well said.

Yes Katbriar, that's her normal comb, It was pretty dark before too so there's no difference there or atleast that's what I tell myself! By the way, the hen can be a mix between any mixed breed and therefore needs to be looked at as far from breed standard specifications as possible. You should...

Thanks for the edited version too Nambroth. I've kept them in 24/7 free roam since the time I acquired them. Initially, I kept them in a shed for three days to get accustomed to the idea of home. After that I let them loose and they never left the compound since. However they prefer to roost on...

Thank you very much Nambroth. I've shared everything I know about the incident, will keep you posted if anything comes up. And yes, she was a lovely hen! Fierce and protective of her chicks (I call all of them buttons, cause they looked like button mushrooms when they hatched) like a lioness...

Thank you for your concern WindStep, I thought about that too but I consider myself lucky cause I am already a member when I needed help the most. Imagine if I had not been a member and hadn't known of BYC, I would have been looking all over the internet and god knows where . So, all in all...

The Symptoms that I posted earlier are about as much as I know. All the other casualties (cockerels) happened at night or early morning. I also noticed that the first two dead cockerels refused to sleep on the same branch that they usually roosted in (with the other four cockerels) the night...

Thank you Avalongirl83 ,I will do that. The chicks are around four weeks. Let us hope that it was something only the mother hen had. Oh, and i forgot to add one more thing, four out of my original six cockerels passed away day before yesterday (maybe it's connected. maybe it's not) and I also...

Dear BYC members, The mother hen of my little chicks died after showing signs of lethargy and blindness( her eyes were clouded and she was bumping into walls). She seemed fine in the morning but in the afternoon, she became quite reclusive and went to a quite place and stood motionless without...

Thank you sourland Thank you Mr MKK FARMS

Really? my collection? Thank you Kelsie. I know that my birds might look adorable, but they're tough as nails. The alpha cock sleeps on the branch at night and he even roosted through a heavy drizzle one night, The next morning he was crowing about and strutting his stuff as if nothing happened...

Thank you TwoCrows for the warm welcome what more could i ask for. looking forward to sharing your adventures too.

Thank you so much guys, I'm very excited to be here. I've always wanted to try out these crazy emoticons too. By the way, does anyone know the breed of my chickens in the pics given above?

Thank you so much guys. I am so glad to finally be here. Always wanted to try out these crazy emoticons too. Finally!

Hello Fellow BYC members, I've always wanted to join BYC from the time I first visited the page. Although I didn't have an account back then, I would read all about different types of poultry which helped me in understanding my birds better..It feels so good to finally be able to start my...
