    The vet visit was July 7, 2025 and today is July 18, 2025. I’ve had her in my house/basement for I think two weeks. A couple days ago is when I called the vet to get the test results back. (I was waiting for them to call me). My flock is fine no other symptoms. I have two boys and two girls 21...

    Mareks disease!!!

    Thank you! I already trying to prepare myself for the worst of it. I got four 20 week old silkies because my original flock of chickens are all standard birds but I have one silkie in that flock. They bullied her they are all 5 years old and I wanted to get her some more silkies so she’d feel...

    Mareks disease!!!

    My Flock has a specific doctors at my vet that takes again and she also has chickens as well which is nice. I also don’t know much about Avian Vet besides the simple at home diys.

    Mareks disease!!!

    Thank you! I’m not sure what the name of the test that was done. I don’t specifically remember but on my receipt I have 1 Mareks RAL as well as Venipuncture I’m guessing is the blood drawn.

    Mareks disease!!!

    Thank you! She was given Meloxicam 15mg tablets that have been mixed with water to make it liquid. I give her 0.4 mg every night. When she had wry neck as a baby chick she had the same meds but given 0.1 every night as well as a vitamin boost.

    Can 15 week old silkies have adult feed?!?!

    I have 15 week old silkies and ran out of chick feed. I was wondering if I can start them on All flock crumbles? I have a five year flock of standards and one silkie that use All Flock, both roosters and hens. It shouldn’t harm them right? I mean in one week they are going to get it anyway. They...

    MITES HELP!!!!

    We just got rid of the rats so hopefully now my treatments will work!! I also cannot afford to burn the coop down so I am doing everything I can for them! I’ve been giving them extra boosters in their food as well because I know the mites can drain vitamins. I think I’m going to dust them twice...

    My flock has had Northern Fowl Mites since August 2024. We had a rat issue and just finally a month ago got rid of them. With that, the rats gave my flock mites and it's been a struggle ever since. I have hosed down the coop and run, all of their stuff that they play on/ramps/etc. Everything is...

    HELP!! Chick with Wry Neck!!!!!

    I have a almost 3 week old silkie chick. She is completely upside down. I was able to dip her beak into the water and get some water in her. I also put electrolytes in her water (Save-a-chick). I don’t think she is able to eat. I seperated her in a different brooder with another chick so she’s...

    Hen face swelling!!

    Thank you! They used to have this stuff in store but haven’t stocked it lately. It went out of stock when we had a horse and farm show nearby and everyone was at TSC getting materials. I guess it was a popular product. I’m gonna check at another tsc store nearby and if not I know Amazon also has...

    Hen face swelling!!

    Update: this morning her swelling definitely has reduced. Her eye isn’t squinting anymore. I gave her all the treatments I got for her. I did. notice she is lighter when I picked her up. She is usually really heavy. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the morning and she hasn’t eaten yet but I’m...
