    Video of one of my chickens

    I just started everyone on Durvet Vitamins and Electrolytes. It has 200 mcg of b12 and 7mg of riboflavin. If it's a curled toe paralysis, do chicks typically recover and start walking again?

    2 chickens down, Mareks?

    Not that I can think of. They were completely enclosed in the garage until I moved them outside. Then they were in an enclosed coop. I bought new shavings and a new bag of feed last night. I'm going to completely clean anything, and use new feed and shavings in the coop. I bought vitamins and...

    2 chickens down, Mareks?

    No contact with another flock. No one in my suburban neighborhood has chickens but us.

    2 chickens down, Mareks?

    The previous birds weren't vaccinated for Mareks. Could they have been carriers without being sick? I hatched them in my incubator.

    Culling a 6 week old chick?

    Thanks. I have a second chick that fell ill last night. I can't believe I may have to do this twice :-(

    2 chickens down, Mareks?

    I'm not sure what is going on with this new little flock, at this point I'm leaning towards Mareks :-( ....? Chicks hatched Nov 26. I kept them inside until December 27th when I moved them to my outdoor coop. I didn't have any other chickens in there, I had passed on my old girls that weren't...

    Moving chicks outside

    I have 11 chicks that I'm about ready to move to my outdoor coop. They are 4 weeks and 4 days old. They are fully feathered except they have some downy feathers on their butts. I've kept them in the garage since they were hatched. We live in San Diego, and my outdoor thermometer says it's been...

    My hens have completely stopped laying. I'm so confused.

    They definitely aren't hiding the eggs. We have a teeny backyard, we'd find them. Plus, I've kept them in for a week and still nothing. I'm not 100% on the age of the newbies. I'm guessing 4-5 months. I'm not expecting them to lay, just the older hens. 2 of the older hens are Lavendar Amerucana...

    My hens have completely stopped laying. I'm so confused.

    I have 5 hens. Three of them I hatched out of our incubator in November. They started laying eggs in May. We were getting 2-3 eggs a day for about a month. Then one of my hens went broody. She stopped laying eggs completely, and the others slowed down as well. Then we were only getting about 1...

    I think there's a rooster in the hen house :-(

    Darn. I knew it. Anyone in San Diego want them? I"m so sad to see them go.

    I think there's a rooster in the hen house :-(

    I know the black one is a rooster, he's the crowing one. But the grey? He looks exactly like the other one, so I'm assuming rooster as well, unless you guys say otherwise.

    I think there's a rooster in the hen house :-(

    I'm 99% sure these guys are roosters. I feel so dumb, I pulled out the roosters at 7 weeks, and these guys looked like hens. So for the past months, I haven't had any thought that they might be roosters, until I heard crowing from the back yard last week! Any thought about breed?
