    Marek's question

    Hi There, I know it's an older thread but I'm in the exact same situation as you, and in the Bay Area. We actually had three chicks where two turned out to be roosters, replaced them with two pullets and they both succumbed (or came to us with) Mereks, when they were supposed to be vaccinated...

    Half of vaccinated hens dead from Marek's

    I also got a few pullets from Dare 2 Dream in Spring 2020 and they both died. from Mereks, confirmed via UC Davis as well. It was really painful and they offered no recourse for the issue. Additionally, the one NON-vaccinated chicken that I raised from a chick has been the lone survivor and...

    Vent gleet, egg peritonitis, or something else?

    Thanks very much! I have asked my (dog) vet and a few others in the area, and they either flat out say no or are asking for like a hundred dollars! I've reached out to the farm stores to see if they know of anyone who will perform the test but so far no luck. As for the Corid and dewormer...

    Vent gleet, egg peritonitis, or something else?

    My gal Effie is exhibiting some bad symptoms. She and my gal Joni were giving me every day or every other day eggs, and Effie has stopped. I started tracking her and on Saturday I noticed she had green, lumpy poop, and watery - pics attached. She was also lethargic and not eating much, until...

    Wry neck

    Oh and for treats a bit of scratch once a day, maybe a few scraps but not a lot. If you have any recommendations I'd love to know, it seems as if the feed balance is off and I hate to see it.

    Wry neck

    https://modestomilling.com/product/chick-starter-and-grower-crumbles/ It's that grower feed, was recommended by my feed shop. I had switched to layer before they started laying and a couple of the gals started looking frayed at the ends of their tail feathers, so the person recommended I go...

    Wry neck

    My 6 month old chicken started doing this neck thing today, craned her neck back and was looking like a seizure or something. Sounds like wry neck/vitamin deficiency? Here's a video, if anyone has info: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gYeBNwWD3tfH5Nj49 She was scruffy before and I was considering...

    Messy butt, ragged frayed feathers, can't find lice/mites - ?

    Update, today I went to pick her up and she craned her neck back and was looking like a seizure or something. Sounds like wry neck/vitamin deficiency? Here's a video, if anyone has info: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gYeBNwWD3tfH5Nj49

    Messy butt, ragged frayed feathers, can't find lice/mites - ?

    I noticed one, then two of my girls were looking a little raggedy at the edges of their tail feathers after I had switched to a layer feed, as one had just started laying (young birds). I assumed it was a protein issue because the two gals that looked a little frayed were the two that were not...

    Sudden sound - sad

    Thanks all. She does seem lethargic but I did not see any nasal discharge. I inspected her and her crop felt a bit squishy, so I have her in the garage in a dark warm box with only water and I'll check on her & massage for the time being. When she is in the box or when I pick her up she is...

    Sudden sound - sad

    Hi all, My chicken Joni has suddenly started making this very sad sound. I'm worried she has a respitory infection or is in pain. Can anyone identify or let me know if you went through something similar? For context, she's young and has had an injury in the past, and she also seems about to...

    Pullet closing eye & lethargic - help!

    Hi all, I noticed this morning that one of my pullets, Joni, was still in her coop when everyone had already ran out. I went to go say hi and observed her, and she was keeping her right eye closed and was very lethargic. I separated her and I'm keeping an eye on her for more symptoms, and can...
