Like I said, her crop has some food in it mid day so she should be eating just fine. She also is going for treats when provided and is roosting with others like normal.

It also can’t be Coccidiosis because it’s below freezing here. Coccidiosis Needs warm and humid areas to thrive and infect birds.

Seems to be a calm bird, possibly some issues with the reproductive system since she lays such big eggs. I’ve done a lot of reasearch on Mareaks and she doesn’t have any symptoms, other than being a little sluggish, and is over 10 months when 99% of birds would get it (+she’s vaccinated). And no...

She is the speckled Sussex in the two photos below. She seems to be well except she’s not as active and closes her eyes so times. She’s vaccinated for Coccidiosis and no blood in poop. A little bit of diarrhea but that’s normal for her. No lice or mites. Crop check was just after noon. Didn’t...

Hi, I have a hen that I think lays massive double yolkers every few days and has been acting sluggish. Her crop feels fine, not symptoms in eyes. Vaccinated for Mareaks and the thing with the C that I always forget, and is about 2 years old. She closes her eyes sometimes in the sun, goes in...

I THINK WE FOUND OUT WHAT IT IS! We had put out rat poison about a week or so before, this morning we found multiple mice all around dead. We had a lot of wind and rain, so we believe she got into some of the poison we had out under the coop for the mice. I definitely think it is Botulism. All...

Is it possible it is just a fluke?

It is honestly looking like cocci more than Mareaks. Here neck was fine, eyes fine, and her crop was fine. The ONLY symstom she had of that were legs. Her wings were also fine. It’s looking more like cocci/injury/egg bound. If the cocci meds are given to the flock, is it guarantied out of there...

Her neck wasn’t shaking. If it is Mareaks, how likely is it that the whole flock has it?

I honestly have know idea what this is the flock has no other symptoms. I felt and she doesn’t seem to be egg bound and she doesn’t have bloody poop. I’m REALLY hoping it’s not Mareaks. She’s 8 months old, can she still get that? How likely is it that she has this? And how likely is it that my...

How long does it take for Mareaks to kill a bird?

It doesn’t sound like that, she doesn’t have bloody poop, and she is limp. A symptom that doesn’t connect to Cocci. To be completely honest, I’m more worried about the rest of the flock, I have 45 birds and if there’s an outbreak that would be VERY BAD. It honestly is starting to sound more like...

We have one nearby, but I’m not sure that’s what it is. What are the symptoms? And would DenaGuard work for an antibiotic?

What is that? Would I treat the whole flock? Know one else has symptoms.
