Yea I'm going to call in the morning and see what they think. Wish me luck!

I googled it, said it could be "Newcastle" disease from other infected birds, airborn or my contaminated food or water. They're "nervous" condition symptoms... I don't know what to do :(

I have a 4 yr old pullet who randomly keeps throwing her head backwards onto her back twisting it back and forth... What is this? I'll pick her up and stand her up and she walks normal eats and drinks but then goes back in her cubby and dose it gain... Is this a diseas???

If you can, because the majority are sick, remove the ones that don't seem to be sick yet. Call your local vet with a list of all the symptoms and see what they sugest, may have medication for whatever they think it may be. If it's a serious illness/disease it's important to let them know anyway...

Thanks, yes I am as well... It was such a hopeless feeling not knowing how to help her... Whatever it was it wasn't contagious. All my other girls are still going strong :) (nock on wood)

Thanks, she did end up passing :(

So I have 8- 5 week old chicks still in a brooder under light with access to constant food & water. I just weaned them off medicated feed. One of my chicks has started chronic sneezing. Other then that she looks fine, none others are sneezing... Should I be worried??? What should I do??

I have one the exact same! I think she is either layin internally or has worms. Am going to deworm her and see. Do a full examination to rule out all possible problems. Give her a warm bath and gently see if you can see or feel a possible stuck egg. seperate her from the others to see if she...

Mines the same... Lost much weight has runny poo and is puffed up sleeping most of the day... I don't know what to do... I think mine has egg peritonitis, not good. Been eating and drink minimum amounts, she enjoyed some apple sauce today. Trying to make her as comfortable as possible! Hope...
