My Sicilian Buttercup rooster also has something white crusty, lumpy looking on his side wattles. And my hen of the same breed also has it. None of my other chickens has this. When I looked at it the first thing I thought was some type of yeast. They are both hard to get close to to get a really...

I also have a rooster who lost use of his legs. At first he stumbled around a little bit but was still walking and it has just continuously gotten worse. He is somewhere between three and four years old. He was vaccinated for Marek's as a chick. He has had these symptoms now for over 6 weeks. My...

How is your Marans doing now? I have one that has very similar symptoms. He's perfectly fine except that he cannot walk without stumbling around. He seems to favor one leg. He eats and drinks and doesn't have any other problems. I took mine to the vet and he wasn't sure what it is either he's...

It was difficult to tell what was going on with it because one day it would seem to be doing better in the next day it would go downhill again. Eventually it became more and more lethargic and died.

thank you everyone for all the information. I was able to deflate her. I don't know if she's going to make it but she is feeling better.

Ok, thank you. This is the strangest thing I have seen in my chickens. This hen is all blown up like a balloon and she has foam coming from her mouth and eyes. I had been watching her and had given meds for gapeworm because of her symptoms. Unfortunately today I was very sick and in bed most of...

Thank you. Is there anything I can give for IB?

I would love to know where to get some Baytril without a prescription. I think I may have Infectious Bronchitis in my flock and need to medicate as soon as possible. Thank you, Kim Brown

My young rooster has some black stuff on his comb and a little on his waddle. He has already been vaccinated for fowl pox. We do have more roosters now, do you think it's from fighting? I washed a little of it off with some water but I don't see any real injury. I live in NE Florida so no...

I have separated it from the others so it will get plenty to eat. I also wormed it, just in case and gave it a dose of Nutri-Drench. I guess I'll just keep doing what I have been. I'm just baffled by the stunted growth.

They were all suppose to be Black Copper Marans. However one turned out to be a Wheaten Marans.

Hi Everyone. I can't figure out what is wrong with one of my chicks. I hatched 7 eggs back in Nov and 6 are still alive. However, out of the 6 one of the chicks did not grow. It started out like the others but at around 3-4 weeks just stopped growing. The other chicks are about 3 times bigger...

I have the same problem. I did notice one of my chicks eating the ants. I have some DE and cornmeal and grits so I think I will try some of each of those. I also have sevin dust and although it is suppose to be safe, I will only put it under and outside of my coop. I don't feel safe putting it...
