    Blackhead or Histomoniasis case in Chicken

    It is a very good resource with lots of knowledgeable people. As you can see by the photos her symptoms were very advanced. In the last photo you can see I cut open the ceacum and took out the hard stuff, looked and felt like some kind of cheese. If I get a faecal test will it show up in the...

    Blackhead or Histomoniasis case in Chicken

    Wow this is great info! Too bad I didn't know this is what my hen had until I did an autopsy :-\ I was suspecting cancer but what I found was caecum extremely enlarged and hard, bigger than the width of my thumb! Filled with hard smelly white substance. I also found huge amounts of round worms...

    *Important information on ivermec* warning - autopsy photos-

    Yes I'm going into town today to see what is available - I'm in Australia so they might be called something different here. Unfortunately their are so many threads still stating that it is effective.. I didnt see and worms in her poo but they were watery.

    *Important information on ivermec* warning - autopsy photos-

    For the past year of owning chickens I have used just ivermec sheep pour on for control of parasites and internal worms. I did research and read in several places that in treats All worms..

    Get Marek's Disease Vaccination

    I have just purchased the vaccine for my chicks. Unfortunately they only sell it in 1000 dose in Australia. How important is it to get the ratio right? I would only need 50 doses at a time which means I would have to cut it into 20 pieces! I'm worried it will be inaccurate and have too much or...

    Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

    Haha how cute. I'll have to get some. I cut so much of its hair off it now looks like a peacock! I won't be showing with her, too much effort with quarantining. I just want to breed with her once she is old enough. :)

    Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

    I just purchased this pullet she's 12 weeks old. I gave her a haircut after this picture. Does anyone else have trouble with their chickens not being able to see?

    The Sizzle Thread!

    Hi guys, I've been breeding frizzles and sizzles for a while. In my breeding program I use double frizzles / frazzle with silkies. I'm in Australia and don't get extreme cold so my frazzle seem to be happy and healthy. I like doing it this way because it produces 100% sizzles for selling. I...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    I decided to get an autopsy done on the frizzle and the vets rang me yesterday and confirmed that it was Mareks disease she had. She had tumours all through her body and strangely on her skin too. The vet said the open wound on her tail would be from a small tumour on her skin she wound have...

    Help!! Marek's Disease??

    Interesting about the silver stuff. I got an autopsy done on my chicken showing some symptoms and the vet informed me yesterday that it was indeed Mareks that she had. He found tumours all through her body. So now I'm trying to track down vaccine for my day olds so I can continue selling them.
