    Caring for rooster with deformed foot

    I have a 10 month old rooster with a curled foot from a bad hatch. Both feet were curled but only one responded to correction. I decided to keep and raise him because he is a rare variety of a rare breed, irreplaceable in the breeding program, and he should breed physically normal offspring. He...

    9 year old hen with pale comb, almost no tail feathers, now moving slow and less interested in food/treats

    This is such a heartwarming thread, guys. May all the elder chickens have this much care and kindness in their lives 🥹

    I’m intimidated by my rooster.

    You know how you said he hadn’t attacked anyone? If he flies up with feet towards a person, he’s absolutely attacking them.

    Bungled Marek's vaccination and killed my chick

    Anti-vaxxers please scroll past now... I have a case of ocular Marek's in my flock. My little girls and I breed rare show poultry here in Australia, and obvs they can't be shown with a symptomatic case on the property, so I sourced a few vials of Marek's vaccine from a vet friend so I could do...

    Face skin roughness and swelling

    Sorry, got cut off. I don't think she's reacting to the eXzolt, she was like this in the pen and i brought her inside and then dosed her two days later. I'm always extra vigilant with the individual dose because I did once overdose a prized hen on it and she got neuro damage and I had to put...

    Face skin roughness and swelling

    Nothing inside the mouth, ears or nose. No mites or lice, or sign of them, on her face, head and neck. Her breeding partner did have lice when we first brought him in but they were treated in quarantine. I'll give her a bath and a rinse in Maldisol

    Emergency Help

    I think you need to contact them and find out what Hatchery Vaccine means. Which diseases does it prevent? If it's Marek's it's not good news I'm afraid, it's incredibly contagious, but the vet would surely have picked it up so it'd be worth getting a translator to help you discuss it with...

    Emergency Help

    Wry neck doesn't cause leg paralysis. Can you double check they're definitely vaccinated for Marek's disease?

    Face skin roughness and swelling

    oh gosh I hadn't even considered that, I'll take a look. I've never seen the rooster peck her but it's possible. Her skin hasn't calmed down after five days away from him though :/

    Face skin roughness and swelling

    Some of the other hens are molting, but I haven't seen any shed feathers in this girl's pen or environment.

    hello @azygous @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock can I trouble you to have a look? If it's related to the other bird with Marek's I'll cull quickly 😔
