    Chicken Has Weirdness Going On

    I agree, looks like a rooster has been getting her too much! You can buy apron looking things to protect her or separate your roosters for a while to give your hens a break.

    Swollen callus looking cheeks

    if anyone could help me figure out what is going on with this chick I'd really appreciate it... I've had chickens for 7 years now and have never seen this! My neighbor found this chick running around on her property, it very well could have been one of mine since I had a few hens sitting on eggs...

    Hen Is Broody, Not Laying Eggs

    I have a broody hen as well (Skittle). I have been working with her for three weeks now and nothing seems to break her of this broodiness! I even separated her out of the coop into her own hutch with a wire bottom in hopes that she would be forced out of it. She didn't care, she just crouched...

    Anyone familiar with Mareks Disease? I have a few questions...

    Last week the chickens looked like their legs were broken and the wings flopped. When I would try and prop them upright, they would fall over:( The legs were out sideways or out behind or sprawled out infront, toes all curled up with no movement at all. It was horrible and they were pooping all...

    Anyone familiar with Mareks Disease? I have a few questions...

    I posted concerns about my chickens health last week. Two of my chickens have Mareks(I think) but I gave them Hypericum for a week now and they are completely back to normal! They were paralyzed and even their wings were affected. Now you would never even know they were like that. All symptoms...

    When will I know if I have roosters out of my 3?

    Well, my kids will be thrilled but my husband will probably make me take them back. The guy that sold them to me said he would take any cockerels back if we did not want them. Are you familiar with Mareks disease at all? I can post a new question in the disease section I guess:)

    When will I know if I have roosters out of my 3?

    They are Rhode Island Reds I was told. Yikes....I think I might have 2 cockerels then! Only one has hardly a comb at all and much smaller in size than the other 2.

    Pretty sure my chickens have Mareks... What do I do now???

    My two chickens are completely paralyzed and I do not know what to do with them. I do not have the heart to kill them but I can not spend all my time hand feeding and watering these chickens... I have read a ton about Mareks and I'm almost positive they have it. I am new with raising chickens...

    Paralyzed Chicken

    I started giving my chickens the hypericum last night. I have not seen any change yet but I am going to keep trying... If this does not work- Do I need to get rid of them? Will they eventually die on their own? I have 3 other adult chickens and also another baby that was with my two sick ones...
