    Thank you. You’re right about there not being much I could’ve done- the results of the necropsy pointed to Marek’s. They’d all been vaccinated, but it turns out that the vaccine does not make them immune. There are four ways Marek’s can affect chickens, and Shadow’s version created growths on...

    Update for you guys, I woke up at 5:30am to check on Shadow and she had died over night. She was my 7 year old son’s dearest pet friend, dang it. I’ll be sending Shadow’s body to UC Davis for a necropsy- I have to know what happened.

    Glad that egg bound is ruled out! As calm as she is, she won’t let me check her mouth. No signs of gagging, or head shaking. I’m going to go get some yogurt and try to treat for impacted/sour crop like CrazyCat16 suggested. Worth a try, you think?

    She’s not eating her feed or much of anything for three days. Yesterday she ate a few tiny pinches of wet bread, 5 kernels of corn, and four black soldier fly worms. Her food dish has been looking untouched, even a portion mixed with some water. I just helped her drink some water with...

    Thank you- she is the sweetest and calmest of the bunch 💕! She hasn’t had any fresh droppings today, this one is from yesterday so it’s all dry. Hope it can still tell you something🤞

    First off, I have zero previous experience with chickens or their ailments (except coccidiosis), so thanks in advance for your help. From what I’m reading when searching for similar symptoms is a possible egg bound hen or maybe a crop issue. My girl has been exhibiting the symptoms for three...

    10 wk old chick with bloody stools

    Thank you for your reply! No Tartarian berries over here. Their run is mostly barren ground. I’m watching them like a hawk now for any changes...

    10 wk old chick with bloody stools

    Hi all, I’m new to chickens. For two days now one of my chicks (10 weeks old) has had about 4-6 burgundy colored stools per day. She is otherwise eating normally and moving around with the rest of the gang in the run. From what I gather from various posts here, it could be coccidiosis, so I’ve...
