    Blind cockerel

    I had a PM done on my other cockerel and they have sent samples off to test for those very things. I had three chicks a few years ago. The mother and eggs I got from the same breeder who never vaccinated and hadn’t had a problem. I didn’t vaccinate and they were fine, hence why I didn’t bother...

    Blind cockerel

    Thanks everyone. He’s actually so much stronger and breathing better than he was. He’s been eating really well. Now he's blind he’s scared and obviously doesn’t know where the food etc is. If he wasn’t blind I’d actualy have more hope than I did this morning

    yellow tinge/loss of appetite/any good vets in County Durham??

    Thanks everyone. I know, it is proving very expensive, so much so I don't think I'll be able to rescue anymore after this lot as I just can't afford it :-(. I have been recommended a vet that is quite far from me, but I will give her a go and see. In the meantime, Henni has brightened up, and...

    yellow tinge/loss of appetite/any good vets in County Durham??

    hi, oh that sounds terrible. She is eating her tuna, and seems bright tonight. She seems to have a better colour too. I will grate some raw potato and see if she will eat it mixed in with the tuna. I will get her checked again at the vets tomorrow. Debs

    yellow tinge/loss of appetite/any good vets in County Durham??

    Hi everyone, I have just joined the forum and have a question about one of my hens. She has been off colour for about 2 weeks, though the vet couldn't find anything wrong. She has been losing her appetite but keen on tuna and maggots. She has had 2 delvosterone injections, 3.5 weeks apart, but...
