    Marek's: The death of my chicken dreams?

    I'm so sorry to hear about this. The same thing happened to me the first year I got chickens--I went to a local guy selling interesting breeds from his house. I lost 2 to mareks that first summer and was similarly worried about all of my future chickens. The same summer I also had 5 hens that I...

    EE and Speckled Sussex Roos NY/CT line

    Coccidiosis in 6 day old chick?

    Thanks for your help! She is on the treatment dose of Corrid and the probiotics don't have any vitamins. She is about the same as yesterday, laying on her side with very wet poo, though less bloody now. We are hydrating 1-2x per hour during the day. She can stand briefly after we pick her up to...

    Coccidiosis in 6 day old chick?

I cleaned her up and have been feeding her Corid with a dropper but there has been no improvement. She won't eat and she has...
