    Myco G Symptoms but Tested Myco Negative

    I was wondering if I could get some advice. As a bit of history - I bought four new hens about a month ago. They went through quarantine fine so I integrated them with the flock. Almost immediately, one started sniffling. In my naivety I didn't check it right away and let her run with the...

    Sneezing hen - Clear mucus, good poop

    I was hoping it wouldn't be but almost certain now as the rest of the flock are infected. I'm just waiting for confirmation from the swabs, but they've ordered in Tylan for me so I can treat everyone without having to withhold eggs. :D

    Sneezing hen - Clear mucus, good poop

    Well, the vet hasn't got back to me yet with answers but I'm almost certain it IS myco. I didn't get it in time and its spread to the rest of my flock; my lovely rooster has bubbles in his eyes and a couple of the others are sneezing. So far they don't look TOO bad. Now I have difficult...

    Sneezing hen - Clear mucus, good poop

    Thanks for replying. I kept stressing, so took the girl to the vet in the end. They've taken a swab from her mouth to send off and test but think mycoplasma might well be the problem. It seems it might've passed to the others as I've now got a few sneezing, sad looking chickens. :( My plan...

    Sneezing hen - Clear mucus, good poop

    I'm having a little bit of a stress. I bought four new hens a couple of weeks ago. All were fine and I integrated them into the flock after 14 days. However, one is now showing signs of illness. She was sleeping with head under her wing, and when I picked up her, she is sneezing a little, has...

    Massive wound in neck - what to do

    Oh, that's interesting. It could well be the high body temperatures. Well, we'll see how we go then. I'd would LOVE to be able to nurse her back. As I said, I bought her only a couple of days ago for my laying flock so I really hope she makes it.

    Massive wound in neck - what to do

    Wow. That's quite some healing process! Thanks for the advice. So far she seems pretty happy; just laid an egg. Do you think I should cut back the feathers? Could reduce infection risk?

    Massive wound in neck - what to do

    I bought a couple of new hens on Sunday and put them in a small quarantine pen together - all was fine. I had eggs and there was no trouble at all yesterday. I went to check on them today and one hen had this HUGE gaping hole in her neck. I have NO idea how to started - whether the other hen...

    Sick Japanese Quail

    I haven't seen any feathers at all. Her wings have dropped too, not closely snug against her body. I have four of these colour. They're cute!

    Sick Japanese Quail

    Hi everyone, I've got a poorly Japanese quail hen I'm a little worried about and was hoping you might be able to help. She's been fluffed up this way for a week now. She's still active on her feet, runs away from the male and is eating and drinking. But she looks very disheveled, often just...

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Thanks @nuklee0 . Was really disappointed but I must just try, try again. Might take a break now we're going into December and start again next year. Currently I have to get shipped eggs - I can do some of my own eggs next year which will be great.

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Thanks for your help @Sally Sunshine ! I'm not at all sure what happened.....I failed to calibrate this time because the previous hatches had worked; newbie mistake I guess.

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Thanks - spoiler added! I don't know - how would I work out whether there was bacteria present?

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Okay - it's eggtopsy time. Eggs 1 & 3 were moving at day 18 but had stopped moving by Day 21. Egg 2 was moving until this morning - Day 23. The problem is obvious - they've failed to absorb their yolks. What might've caused this? I bought the eggs at an auction so I can't comment on the stock...
