    Hen wasting - any hope - is it always Mareks?

    I just want you to know that I empathize with you. I’m currently going through this with my flock. I have (had) almost 50 chickens and now have a confirmed necropsy for Mareks. I’ve lost 5 and two more are now symptomatic. It just seems one by one they go down. I’m beginning to feel hopeless and...

    Mareks Disease

    So after almost a month of trying to figure this thing out, a necropsy histology finally came back that it is Mareks disease. I’ve lost 4 so far to it, and have one quarantined inside that is now my handicapped girl who is doing well except the immobility. We haven’t had another show the...

    Losing balance and dying HELP

    hello, Last week my buff started to lose balance. We thought she had injured her left leg since it was the one she seemed to limp on. We isolated her and took care of her. After a few days of working with her, she died. Now my speckled Sussex is walking off balance and using her wing to catch...

    Sneezing, multiple chickens, colder weather?

    Thanks you guys for replying. I just caught one that was sneezing and assessed her. She is wheezing a little bit and smacking her mouth like there might be congestion. No drainage in the nostrils. Another terrifying thing- one of the younger hatched that hatched in July was just found dead in...

    Sneezing, multiple chickens, colder weather?

    One of my Buff Orpingtons started to sneeze about two months ago. I got worried and gave the whole clock (about 60 chickens) electrolytes and probiotics and she stopped sneezing. This morning I got out to give them treats and multiple chickens are sneezing, probably like 6 of them including my...

    Adoptive mama pecking new chick

    She’s stopped pecking the chick. I’ve observed more and the chick is keeping up with the others. I’ll keep watching. I really don’t want to move her in because I know how much happier she will be with the others

    Adoptive mama pecking new chick

    The eggs under my broody hen are staggered with all different hatch times. The oldest hatched over a week ago with two more to follow, so mama hen thought her clutch was done and got up and left her nest. So I intervened and put the other 8 eggs in an incubator. One hatched yesterday and is...

    Chick hatched.. take to mama hen?

    UPDATE: So we put her under mama very late last night. Now this morning the new baby is having a hard time keeping up with the others (still getting her footing) and mama is pecking at her really hard. She picked her 4 times during the 10 minutes I was watching. Is this okay? Is she telling her...

    AMAZING- Check out this video!

    Okay forgive me if this is like “been there and done that”. I’ve never candled an egg before, much less seen so much movement in an egg! Just so miraculous to me and I have to share.
