    Today's temperature = # of eggs.

    Here in Puget Sound, it is currently 41*F, I have collected 1/5, but it is early yet from our 1 Sexlink, 1 Buff Orpington and 3 RIR's. Yesterday it was in the low 30'sF and I collected 3/5. However, the temp has been in the low 30's/high 20's and have only gotten 1-2 eggs out of possible 5...

    Sideways chicken

    She is going down hill. She keeps thrashing her head around in circles and although she can stand, she looses her balance. She is not able to keep her head steady enough to aim for food and water, so I have started giving her water (w/ probiotics and electrolytes) by dropper. I have also, up...

    Sideways chicken

    Thank you for your kind support. She is still walking around, trying to 'hang' w/ her friends. Her balance is off, I'm sure because she can't see out of one eye. Bless her heart, she is a trooper.

    Thank you for that info. Are the antibiotics injections or oral? Do you know if I can do the antibiotic as well as the Poly-vi-sol?

    Sideways chicken

    I was hoping others would chime in. I have been researching crooked neck, twisted neck, swollen eye, closed eye, wry neck, etc. The only real consistency I see is vitamin deficiency, so I today I purchased Poly-vi-sol w/out iron and I have given her 2 doses of that. Here is what is happening...

    Sideways chicken

    So, once again, we have an issue w/ our chickens. We lost one to what I think was Mareks a couple months ago. I quarantined her A month or so ago, one of our now 6 1/2 month old RIR would not get up on the roost w/ the other girls. She would lay on the ground at night. I was a little...

    Is it Marek's??

    My poor Barbara passed away at the beginning of the week. I'm so glad she is no longer suffering, it was so hard to watch. I couldn't bring myself to put her down though. I thought she was rallying, but it wasn't the case. I feel so drained from the experience though. I put so much time...

    Is it Marek's??

    Thank you all for posting this great thread. It has been so helpful. Especially the information about cleaning/disinfecting the coop, clothes and run as well as bathing. My poor Barbara has poop on her tail feathers and back side from sitting in her convalescent box and not being able to get...

    AHappyChick, Could you please explain how you made the sling for your chicken with the Marek's ? I have a six month old with it and I was thinking along the same line of making some kind of sling but have no idea as to how to do it. I am a newbie (only been raising chickens for 6 months) so I...
