    HELP!

    Update! So, I finally heard back from Texas A&M poultry science prof. Basically he said, sometimes chickens just die for no reason it seems or it could’ve potentially been botulism. He also said that Marek’s is very rare. In order to get a definitive answer, my best bet would be to contact TAMU...

    HELP!

    Thank you so much! I’ll add my location to my profile! I’m new here so still learning.:D I’m in southeast Texas. I did contact my local extension office. I’m waiting on Texas A&M to contact me for further treatment/advice. Thank you so much.

    HELP!

    Sorry, I accidentally replied to the wrong comment. That was to your other comment. But as far as moving the coop, I can’t. It’s huge and cemented into the ground. I wormed them all with safeguard last Friday and will be working again this Friday. I’m so sick over this. My neighbor across from...

    HELP!

    Yes, all the birds that have died and the one that is now sick, I have had them all since they were 2 days old. I bought them from a local feed store that told me they had been vaccinated. I will never buy from a feed store again. I will only buy from reputable local hatcheries or well known...

    HELP!

    Update on my flock. I’m preparing myself to lose my entire flock. I’ve deep cleaned and disinfected EVERYTHING the chickens touch with bleach, but I have another girl come up sick today. She’s wobbly and shakey, not eating....I’m beside myself. I know this virus can live in th ground for quiet...

    HELP!

    I secluded her from the rest of my flock this evening. I disinfected the entire run/coop with vinegar. I guess I’ll have to go back and disinfect with bleach, but I was worried that would be harmful to the chickens. The sick chicken has started tremoring her head and not able to hold her head up...

    HELP!

    Thank you so much for the help! I’m going to try the wormer today and see if that helps. I really hope I don’t lose anymore chickens. :fl

    HELP!

    I really hope it’s not. I’m thinking Mareks or internal parasites. None of my birds have external parasites, that I can see anyways. Thanks for your input!

    HELP!

    Thank you so much! Im going to go get some tomorrow. What’s the dosage per chicken? Should I go ahead and worm the others as well?

    HELP!

    There’s no respitory issues going on though and I would assume since Mareks disease is so contagious, that it would have spread to my others by now? Please, correct me if I’m wrong.

    HELP!

    See, I’m not sure. I’ve read over several different poultry diseases and I can’t figure out if that’s it or not. :hit
