    Extremely small 10 week old chick

    I am not a veterinarian but I do believe you have a bantam rooster. It's the waddles which make me suspect the gender. It's the size and the little pomp on his head that makes me say bantam. So cute though! Enjoy

    I will say this......I hate having had to go thru this. But I have learned SO much about having chickens that in a way I am grateful. I think I must have gotten this so I could share the info. There is so much out there too! One of the best and most hopeful things I learned was that 99.9% of all...

    I know in my heart you are correct. I just wanted to try to get ideas of other possibilities so that I could treat that before the immune system allowed my "dormant" Mareks to rear its' ugly face again. Once I was left with all my healthy girls, the trick has been to keep them healthy. I have...

    We have all three strains of Mareks. With additional complications of "curable" ailments. If you are familiar, the "curable" stuff makes not a lot of difference when the underlying affliction is Mareks. It's virtually HIV/AIDS in the chicken world. So if she has something else, Mareks gets the...

    Thank you so much. I am trying to upload the photos and having difficulty. You are totally spot on! My gut is saying she is just showing me "other ways" this horrible disease can rear its' ugly head. I thought I would put it out there to see if anything anyone had to add would spark thought for...

    Thank you so much. It is so hard. I never in my wildest dreams thought my little organic backyard farm would be annihilated with something so terrible. And all because of a breeder who sold to the farm store under false pretenses. I have learned this......There is no hatchery in the US that can...

    This is the only thing I do not know. I just separated her so I will know in the next few days. I did check for a bound egg as she is posturing as if she is. I went up several inches to be sure. She is not egg bound. I am at a total loss.

    I will upload photo in a few min. I was given all three strains of Mareks along with a multitude of other horrific illnesses. It has been thee most devastating experience I have ever dreamed of. But, I have learned more than most thanks to the University of Oregon.

    Thank you. Yes, unfortunately I am VERY familiar with Mareks. She is just not displaying ANY of the symptoms of the three types of Mareks I was poisoned with. Im not trying to be snarky. But I know more than the average joe about Mareks. I was given all three; dermal, visceral, and occular. But...
