    Eye looks stretched or swollen? Birth defect?

    Thank you for the reply! I'll add Quick Chick electrolytes and vitamins to their water. They are on non-med starter, chick grit, and I bring them greens 1-2x/day. No discharge but keeping an eye on it.

    Eye looks stretched or swollen? Birth defect?

    Just noticed one of my 6 week old chicks has a strange shaped eye. I'm not sure if it's a birth defect or an infection? The eye looks shape looks oval and stretched. Only the left eye, the other looks normal. What do you think? She appears active, eating, and drinking fine.

    Help! Babies dying everyday & not sure why

    OK good to know. I was reaching for any abnormality. I've given them a game bird starter mash and put Corid in their water. Hoping it's not too late for the others, but feel you've given me the best advice- and when I really needed it!

    Help! Babies dying everyday & not sure why

    Yes, only heating one side of the brooder. I had planned on putting some sod in there for them, but held off due to them dying. I didn't want to add any more variables.

    Help! Babies dying everyday & not sure why

    I purchased 29 chicks from Murray McMurray hatchery. 15 silver dorkings, and 14 other breeds. I picked them up the moment they arrived at the post office and 4 dorkings were dead upon arrival. I've had them in a large jacuzzi tub in the bathroom- heat, food (with some chick grit), & water...

    Vaccinations & medicated feed- do they cancel each other out?

    Thank you so much! Last year my adult flock contracted Cocci even though they had med feed. So I know it's in the soil here, which is why I opted to get the vaccine. But had no idea I was complicating things by hatching my own at the same time. They are all being brooded inside right now...

    Vaccinations & medicated feed- do they cancel each other out?

    I ordered a bunch of chicks from Murray McMurray hatchery and had them vaccinated for Marek's and Cocci. I also hatched a handful of chicks at home and they are all the same age- but there are no vaccinations available to me locally to inoculate my own chicks. At this point the 2 groups are...
