I don't see the Mareks thread. Also will my ducks and geese be affected? I have Muscovy, Cayuga and Khaki Campbell ducks and a pair of African Geese.

The two limping pullets and 2 roosters that died suddenly 2 weeks ago were all less than 6 months old. I have some bantams that were housed with the Olive eggers and they are unaffected and have been very vigorous. The affected birds were a mix of birds hatched on my property and chicks...

We will dump the feed and scrape the dirt floor, clean the chicken house and put in fresh bedding. I will try giving the lame OE pullet some vitamins to see if she improves. I would be thrilled to find this is not Mareks. I was supposed to supply a friend with hatching eggs but we did not...

I had a young Turken hen go lame with no explanation, then she improved, then suddenly the leg was nearly useless. She was still getting around, eating getting to shelter etc. Suddenly she appeared ill, hunched, fluffed feathers, we brought her inside but she died. The same day we noticed a...

I would be interested in some african goose eggs if you have any

Thanks for the support we will get one of his buddies for a roomie and try the bath although he is not used to being handled.

I have a 12 week male Khaki Campbell drake who can't seem to walk. We went to get them out of the pond and put them up for the night and he just walks on one foot and flaps a wing. We caught him and he is in a cage in the house as storms were expected/ are ongoing. He does not seem to be in...

we put 13 eggs in a small classroom incubator and did our best to interpret the many different directions for hatching these tricky eggs. The teachers did a great job and candling the eggs was very interesting. One egg was infertile and was removed. Of the remaining 12 we have 7 lively...

I have one gorgeous girl sitting on 13 eggs there were 14, but yesterday I found some broken shell in the wading pool, can only figure she kicked one out of the nest and it broke. Crazy ducks are always putting sticks, old pecan shells and junk in the pool. Silly duck set her eggs up in a...

We are keeping some incubator chicks in a pen indoors as we have freakishly cold snowy spring weather in the midwest. Last summer we got some mixed chicks and they were 8 weeks or so when we let them join the flock. They did OK and quickly learned to avoid the older birds. No idea why you...

Do you still sell hatching eggs and are your Magpie duck eggs green or white?

How can I get my chickens vaccinated?

Cottonball was lucky to have you.

black copper marans hen and roo are bullying one of 2 polish crested pullets. The other polish crested has adapted well. I removed the marans hen and 2 young birds that also tend to bully and the roo is quite passive toward her now and they laid down for a nap quite near each other. I...

How did this turn out for you? I believe I am dealing with the same thing in my new flock. One hen has a bubbly eye and her roo is breathing really rough tonight. I have a couple of others with nasal discharge. My vet checked the hen with a bubbly eye but did not have a diagnostic test, or...
