    Marek’s in pullet. Next step?

    I tried lol, but she didn’t like the flashlight in her eyes. Her comb is usually a little bit redder. Her and the other newbies usually stay together but do move around the coop. There isn’t a run, so I try to let them free range their area as often as I can. Today they don’t get to because I...

    Marek’s in pullet. Next step?

    I’ll have to get better ones tomorrow. Same for checking behavior and poop. Almost 12 weeks. Possibly, though her eye did look misshapen. Once again, I’ll try to get better pictures tomorrow No, though I’d gladly take advice medicines. I’d like to have some on hand for anything I might come...

    Marek’s in pullet. Next step?

    They were as of two days ago. They’ve definitely been exposed. I had two separate age groups of chicks. All of them have been outside. Though, I can almost guarantee that Marek’s was spread through an injured pullet I put in with the older group of chicks to recover. She came from TSC along...

    Marek’s in pullet. Next step?

    I have a Brahma pullet that seems to be suffering from Marek’s. One eye seems cloudy, but her pupil is misshapen. She’s also acting kind of lethargic though, she still moves around and eats. I’m wondering what my next step should be. I’ve heard that they can live through the paralysis and...

    Silver duckwing OEGB sexing at 4 weeks

    Awesome! Thanks for the responses! I was unaware how they would feather in. I feel like most Roos take way longer to get their adult colors so it’s nice to have idea of who is what at a young age. I’m glad to know that it’ll be a similar case for my 2 week old silver duckwing leghorns.

    Silver duckwing OEGB sexing at 4 weeks

    So, these chicks hatched 2 days shy of 4 weeks ago. Their chest feathers are coming in and one has the autosomal red on her(?) breast, while the other doesn’t. I’m almost positive that the autosomal red is a pullet and the other (with his red comb that’s getting bigger) is a roo. My confusion, i...

    Help!! Chicken with a hole in it’s neck!

    I really don't deserve any credit. It was mostly a one and done kind of deal. After using the saline and cleaning around the area with rubbing alcohol, I kept 2-3 butterfly bandages stretching across the wound, pulling each side closed, like stitches. Then I put gauze and rapped her neck with...

    Help!! Chicken with a hole in it’s neck!

    Happy news! She made it! I ended up using the saline mixture and bandaging it closed with butterfly bandages and a big bandage over those. Stitches would’ve worked way better, but the bandages were really sticky, so they held great. I wish I would’ve taken pictures when it was still scabbed...

    Does this bantam hen look like a cross bred?

    Many of the silkie traits are dominant. For example, black skin and extra toes. Assuming she is a silkie mix, she’s at least two generations from a pure silkie. It is possible that she has sebright in her. While her rounder body and single comb make it less obvious, her tail looks a lot like a...

    12 week old roo with sour crop. Not going away.

    Fed him half of the recommended coconut oil last night, and finished giving it this morning and his crop has gotten smaller! Thanks for recommending treating for impacted crop! I had thought to do it at some point, but felt that it just had to be sour crop cause it was squishy. I’ll post an...

    Brown Red Mottled D’Uccles Project

    You have silver duckwing d’uccles? Or just the coloring? Either way, do you have pictures? I actually prefer the hens’ colors over the roosters’ for both silver duckwing and ginger red oegbs. Even with silver gingers, I like the hens’ colors a lot. Yeah, I’ll have to try plan it out. I’ve...
