    Mareks😔

    I am so sorry, I am just now seeing this. I tried to do the necropsy too but couldn't find anyone in my area available. We have buried all our chickens in the same place where we bury the cats/dogs that pass. They are like pets to us and I have been beating myself up pretty bad for this new...

    Mixed Flock- silkies / RSL / Columbians

    I am looking for advice. Silkies are 21 weeks. RSL's are 18 weeks. Columbians are 17 weeks. No eggs as of yet. Everything I have read and spoken to other Silkie owners is that they require more protein than the typical 16%. I have everyone on 19% protein and the silkies have been gaining...

    Possible wry neck -born end Feb

    After you let his neck go, it twists around again. There is nothing to support it. He does chirp when it’s upright possibly in pain?

    Possible wry neck -born end Feb

    His head is completely upside down. When I found him this morning he was trying to get his head upright. Now he’s very weak and and just lets his head dangle upside down. Beak facing up. Has no control and had to have it held upright to drink and take syringe. Lethargic and warm to the touch.

    Silkie born end of Feb 28th. Found this morning with a twisted neck. Beak to the sky. Twitching. Not able to walk. It appears to be wry neck or a neck injury. I have been giving them Nutri French every couple of weeks in their food/water. I gave it a dose of that now. What meds help? He / she...

    Small blood droppings. 13 week old chicks

    Everyone is much better and they accepted the sick bird no issues. However today one of the 13week old Maran pullet suddenly died. She was fine this morning eating running around. Acting like a normal chicken. No signs of sickness. We had just finished the coccidia treatment but she didn’t seem...

    Small blood droppings. 13 week old chicks

    Ty! I am prepared for the worst hoping for the best. And that was my plan but after reading some horror stories thought maybe my plan wasn't as well thought out as it should be.

    Small blood droppings. 13 week old chicks

    Dre is doing much better and will likely be putting him/her back into the coop soon with the others. How should I go about doing that? It has been almost a week and his strength is getting to where he can manage the ramp etc.

    Small blood droppings. 13 week old chicks

    You guys have been amazing!! I reached out to several fb groups I belong to and no one really show any interest to help me so I appreciate this so much. I have the vitamins on hand, do I give those in between Corrid treatments during the break? Or wait until the second Corrid treatment is over?

    Small blood droppings. 13 week old chicks

    Thank you so much. I can't say it enough you have been such a huge help. He is quarantined for now, still. Much better this morning. Crop was empty and he started eating. Gave him meds directly and medicated water directly. His butt was much better this morning as well. The others seem fine...

    Small blood droppings. 13 week old chicks

    Will do. It is dark at night. Light is on during the day. Should I remove the food/water in the coop for the rest of the flock and check all crops in the morning as a baseline for the rest? I had been leaving food/water in their coop at night due to their age but can remove no problem. My...
