    Chick with weird breathing

    I bought three splash maran chicks off someone locally and they’re all eating and drinking and active BUT one of the chicks has been open mouth breathing for about five days now but otherwise doesn’t seem sick at all. Is otherwise alert, any advice is welcome.

    Breezy Bird Farms Canada

    Update: from the span of 8-10 weeks of age 5/6 of the birds died suddenly with no warning signs. The rest of my flock was fine and didn’t have any medical issues or warning signs of issues - still no sudden deaths since. One rooster is left from that purchase. Very strange coincidence.

    Breezy Bird Farms Canada

    Ordered six Amerucana chicks this year, good quality chicks, so far so good approximately four weeks old. I’ll definitely be ordering live chicks from now on if ordering from there.

    I’m ordering live chicks from Breezy Bird this year to see how that goes opposed to self-hatch!

    Marek or Coccidiosis?

    I would try and treat for coccidiosis, if no improvement then I would assume Mareks. I would recommend sending the next bird (if any) who passes for a necropsy and PCR for Mareks to confirm if your flock is positive. If your flock is positive there's a lot of information of Mareks positive...
