    Very sick pullet

    So after a lot of google searches and reading I think that this is mycotoxicosis. Not sure if you can see it in the video but there is a small oral lesion on the end of its tongue. I’m not sure how extensive but considering we had 3 other dead birds I am guessing its pretty bad. The other...

    Very sick pullet

    She’s been gasping since we found her. Sunday I believe. She is eating her crumble on her own but I can’t seem to get her crop to grow, I will try a wet mash. My husband got her to drink on her own this morning too. Inside her mouth was completely white when we found her but she is...

    Okay, yes I will try and get a video of her. She is in the house so I can care for her. I gave her homemade electrolytes all day today along with the polyvisol and she is still eating banana and eggs.

    Yes I have her swaddled in a towel. She is mostly still but throws herself out of the towel onto her back randomly

    I hope so. I’m just not sure what else I can do. At least she is eating and drinking.

    Very sick pullet

    So we have had an incident here. Its been cold, down to almost zero. We were busy and hadn’t been up to our coop in a couple days. Our power source had blown and our heat lamp on our brooder as well as our water heaters went out. We lost 2 sebrights and one of our new 18 week old chicks...

    Tips on introducing 4 month old chicks

    My little silkie Tina is a bit of a force. She double foot jump kicked to the chest any of the full size hens that got too close and also ripped out a large chunk of feathers off the head of another bird. But she can’t go up against these ducks. I like the idea of a panic room. I wonder if I...

    Tips on introducing 4 month old chicks

    Hi, so I have 6 month old female muscovies in with my chickens and everyone gets along. About 4 months ago my silkie hatched 4 eggs and we separated them into a look but don’t touch brooder. I’ve done some introductions that went just fine with the rest of the flock except the ducks keep...

    Is this Marek's disease.

    I don’t think so. The pupil is a regular shape and there is no cloudy appearance. Do you know what happened to the beak?

    Marek' s disease

    In younger birds, illness usually presents as neurological. Stumbling, balance and mobility. A lot of people will immediately tell you it is Mareks because of the age and symptoms. If none of your other birds are sick or get sick, it is not Mareks. Separate the chicken, give it vitamins...
