    Lame Rooster

    Thank you very much for your response. No, no scissoring with the leg. But, yes when we see the loss of balance and collapsing, they seem to be on the light side, probably some wasting. We are in a rural area with one very over worked vet. Her practice is made up of large livestock, horses, cats...

    Lame Rooster

    Thank you for your concern, and suggestions. He did not make it through the day. I just finished burying him. No, none of those things apply. I would like to know what the issue is. I have lost to many birds to it.

    Is it normal for Turkens to be this large at 4 weeks?

    I have been looking at the new pioneer broilers. Three hatcheries are selling them now. I do believe that is what you have.

    Lame Rooster

    I have looked him over, there is no external signs of physical injury. He is now in an isolation cage with electrolytes and antibiotics in his water. That is the best i can do for him.

    Disappointed with Bielefelders

    I was excited get this uber German chicken breed, but they have disappointed me. The cock is big but not in the range that they were claimed to be, and the egg laying really dropped off in the second year.

    Lame Rooster

    A short video of the rooster trying to walk. This has happened to a number of my chickens. I am trying to find answers so I can try to resolve the problem. If someone has seen a bird with Marek's Virus, please let me know if you think this is symptom is consistent with the disease.

    Lame Rooster

    Thank you for your response. No, not just roosters. A number of hens of different ages over the last few years have also suffer from the same symptoms. Besides the weakness (lameness) i see no other symptoms. All of my birds were vaccinated at hatching for Marek's. we feed commercial lay pellets...

    Lame Rooster

    Over the last several years we have had a number of or chickens suddenly go lame. They would be fine then one day would only be able to take a few steps then collapse to the ground. As the symptoms got worse I would put them down. This morning a three year old cubalaya rooster started with the...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    Hi Everyone I am jealous of those on this thread that have very large birds. I ordered birds from Cackle last year. My roo is over a year old now and is probably eight pound or less. I will probably be looking for hatching eggs this spring. Is there anyone out there that anticipates selling...
