Unfortunately she passed yesterday😭 Both her eyes were affected by the foul pox that she could just barely see out of one of them. My sweet girl tried to eat but she couldn’t see the food very well. I syringe fed her but she wouldn’t eat much. She got very lethargic and always wanted to sleep in...

Ok will do! Thank you very much!

Hen was broody for several weeks, was squished at the bottom of the nest box with two other hens on top of her. Started swelling in the face about 3 wks ago. Combs and wattles swelled first, now the eyes.In this last week or so, the black sores began appearing and appear to be like fowlpox. I’ve...

Yes! Back to 100% 😊

Good news - her eyes are looking normal. Thank goodness it was just the picture. I checked them all again and everybody’s looking good!

I just saw your note here. I will check this morning. I haven’t seen any irregularities as I check them all but I will double check her eyes. thank you for mentioning that. Hopefully it’s just the picture. My phone doesn’t take the clearest shots.

Thank you for that suggestion and all your help. I know someone else recommended that as well but I never got around to getting it. I will certainly do that. Here’s a pic of her from today I meant to post earlier.

Just wanted to give a quick update....she is doing great! Practically back to normal. She is back with the flock and walking and jumping. I've had her in a crate in the house for the last month but bring her outside during the day. I would keep her in a little coop in the main run so that she is...

Neck up and Not lying down. Just in a sitting position. Wings are normal and she does have movement in them unlike what I observed yesterday. She’s been wiggling herself to move and has slightly moved. And yes there are roosters. I almost feel like she may have been trampled while they crowded...

No she is not. I have not introduced any new members to the flock and practice biosecurity. We are 4 years in. I'm praying it's not Mareks.

Thank you for your recommendation. I've got selenium & vitE paste I started her on earlier. I need to get the B complex tomorrow. I'm getting more concerned she may be eggbound because she hasn't pooped all day. Are there other diseases/conditions that would cause that? Thanks again for your...

I provide them with Nutrena layer crumble avail all day, with some greens once a day and a little bit of scratch grains as a treat too. I also have a bowl of oyster shell avail. I free range them for about an hour a day supervised because it's hawk city here! I provide fresh water daily with a...

This morning I opened the coop pop door to find one of my 7 mth old hens on the coop floor below the roost bar just laying there. She seems completely paralyzed. Could she have fallen off the roost? She's one of my favorites (of course) and she was completely fine and acting normal yesterday...

Thx for the article! Rats are gross! Those diseases sound scary. I've been dreadfully scooping up their poop I find every single morning so the chickens don't eat it. I hope I don't have to resort to poison. I just tried RatX but they are smart and avoid it! So my little Honey's eyes are...

Ugg...I hope I don't have to squeeze out pus! lol I'll keep flushing her eyes too. Thank you so much for your input. I forgot to mention that I've been putting hot sauce around the perimeter of the coop at night to deter some rats trying to get in. I'm only sprinkling a little around the ground...

Today her eyes are worse and more puffy. I started her on Tylan50. And continuing the Terramycin. I've looked at so many pics online of Mareks and other diseases and nothing seem to match. I thought maybe eye worm of some type but hers don't look like what I've seen online. I've attached pics of...

Thank you for your input. I think you are right...its some type of infection. Today her eyes are worse and more puffy around the eyes. I started her on Tylan50. And continuing the Terramycin. I've looked at so many pics online of Mareks and other diseases and nothing matches. I've attached pics...

Thank you. I started Terramycin yesterday but haven't flushed them yet today. I've got her separated from the flock. Here are some pics of my coop. I've since added a large run. There is also ventilation at the top of the pic where there are 2 windows. Maybe I need to make the windows larger...

Sorry about your roo. Here are a few new pics I just took...not sure that they're more clear but it was the best I could get. And I forgot to mention her eyes don't look like the mareks samples above. I don't see any change just cloudy and slight swelling around the eye or the eye looks more...

Thank you for your input. I'll try to get better pics.
