    Adding new chicks to a flock affected by Mareks

    I've read that too! I think turkeys are cool, just wondered how they would get along with my chickens. Do they pick on the chickens? I've seen the opposite in a very large flock of chickens on a farm with a few turkeys. The chickens pulled the turkeys tail feathers out :( It might be worth a go...

    Adding new chicks to a flock affected by Mareks

    We have done everything imaginable both holistic and traditional medicine to stop the spread and save them. I feel it has finally run its course, but I know it will always be present now. I am thankful I didn't lose my whole original flock, they are very much our pets. So I guess it's a risk...

    Adding new chicks to a flock affected by Mareks

    Hi all, this spring I added 8 chicks to our small flock of 6. My babies were one by one decimated by Mareks :( it was horrible and we lost our favorite 3 yo hen. Things seem to have stabilized, the only two spring chicks who survived have started to lay :) and everyone else seems very healthy...

    Swollen comb, ears and head?

    It is weird, I'm wondering if the coryza virus just hit them in different ways? The first one it was a swollen eye like yours, no respiratory or other symptoms, no smell. Then second just didn't seem to thrive so I would seperate her and bring her back to health but the last time she just...

    Swollen comb, ears and head?

    Thanks for replying. I was thinking it might be that too :( although he has no smell about his head and no discharge. He is seperated and we're going to start them on tetracycline and corrid and clean out completely and bleach the pens tonight. I don't know what else to do, whatever it is...

    Has anyone seen this before? His head is actually swollen too there is a crease laterally behind his comb from the swelling. He is drinking constantly and pecking at food still. The pullet that was his mate died a few weeks ago from what appeared ultimately to be something neurological maybe...

    Swollen comb, ears and head?

    I have a 3 month old roo with a severely swollen comb and ears? Even his head appears swollen. It's been getting worse since I noticed a few days ago. I took a few pics this am. Anyone have any idea what this is and how I can help him?!

    Congestion and sneezing in cockerel

    Thank you for the info! I was able to get some soluble Tylan from my pups vet Friday. We continued with the duramycin and added the Tylan as well as using the vetrx chicken remedy, we rubbed the oil on his nose/beak and head. He has rebounded great no sneezing or crackling in chest anymore and...

    Congestion and sneezing in cockerel

    Hi so I lost a pullet 2 days ago to what we thought was a sinus infection, vet did too. We treated her with antibiotics etc she never recovered. She only had swelling under eye, no respiratory symptoms at all! Now my other lavender Orpington is showing signs of upper respiratory, gurgling and...

    Sick 10 week old pullet

    She passed this morning I went to check on her about an hour ago and she was laying on her side barely breathing. I wrapped her in a fuzzy towel and sat with her in the sunshine until she let go. We did everything we could and I thank you all for all your help.

    Sick 10 week old pullet

    Thank you thank you thank you! She is a little livelier this am when we got her out to feed :) I will read up on and get the supplies for tube feeding and have a go at it. My only concern is I tried several times, and so did my fiancé to feel for her crop and honestly I just feel bones, her neck...
