    Broody chicken gone crazy

    She was fine, not a terrible broody but as soon as they started to hatch she kind of went into crazy mode.

    Broody chicken gone crazy

    Hey guys I have a chicken that went broody after another one hatched some chicks. I let her sit on the eggs and she hatched 2 yesterday. Clearly she is a bad mom I’m pretty sure she ate one and let the other die. But now she has gone crazy and attacking me. She was very sweet before she went...

    Mareks chick separation

    I unfortunately can’t be of much help as I am suffering the same thing but I stumbled across this while searching Merck’s and see you haven’t had many replies! There are a couple decent threads on here about Merck’s and some good replies. I do however know that it takes 3 weeks for the chicks to...

    Living with Marek's: Need real life experience

    Your buffs were hit hard? I have 1 buff and 2 lavender cuckoo orps so far they seem the least infected but who knows, at this point. I thought I was ok after I lost my last roo but a week later here I am with my first and only laying hen. I actually can’t believe that I still have two silly...

    Living with Marek's: Need real life experience

    This is 100% true. I’ve also just found out I have Merck’s in my flock. I’m broken hearted for my chickens that I babied or so I thought. And after getting 16 chickens with a large rooster % I’m losing suddenly a chicken a week. This is my first time having chickens and I fell in love with them...

    Is this normal for a new layer?

    I can take a pic of the inside but it’s not rolled the top is just not there. When she spit it out I watched the yolk come out cupped in the bottom of the soft shell and it spilled on the ground. The top of the egg is smooth perfectly Symmetrical like no top developed. It was the only egg she...

    Is this normal for a new layer?

    The strange thing is that the egg expelled doesn’t look broke or jagged literally like it was missing the top half. I did watch the yolk and most of the white I’m pretty sure come out! I did check her vent right away it looked clean she panted a little afterward but was walking around fine and...

    Is this normal for a new layer?

    Yes oyster shells and I feed back their egg shells although not often for the eggs cause they are small so you need 4 for breakfast! I have a probiotic, vitamin and calcium supplement that is added to their water every so often. She’s a tough one but she seemed a bit upset when it happened, also...

    Need Decision Help! Mareks Confirmed.

    Thanks, I won’t! We will see what the government confirms tomorrow. The hard part is trying to figure out where to cull. I still have 7 hens that look to be healthy so I will just keep an eye out, I have my fave rooster that couldn’t stand but after a day of being in the crate is standing again...
