    Tumor or cyst?

    No she doesn’t have any of those symptoms. Just the bumps on skin around her eyes which I’m thinking could be foul pox because I live in the south and mosquitos was bad this year. The tumor/cyst I’m not sure what it’s from, but I’ve made her a vet appointment. She is still energetic and doing...

    Tumor or cyst?

    Today my silkie Sugar was dirty and I noticed her eye was swollen. I took her from the coop thinking maybe she dust bathed and got some in her eye and cleaned and put a warm compress. I noticed swollen bumps and I decided to bath her because she was dirty over night and wasn’t sure if it was poo...

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    I am so sorry I’m just getting back to update. My dad who is 80 has been sick. I’m sad to say Ellie passed three days ago. I’m pretty sure it was Mereks. As for her treatment I gave her fluids with a syringe, nutra drench vitamins, vitamin E, I fed her chick feed softened. I also treated her...

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    I apologize I’m just updating I’ve been sick, but she is doing the same. No changes, except breathing heavier. I’m doing all I can for my sweet girl, and even added additional treatment from all the helpful advice given. I wish I had a better update.

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    It very well could be the Mereks but I’m not sure what you mean by bruising, she is in my garage which is attached to my home with the addition of a heat lamp for additional warmth. It could be the dim lighting and shadows causing that, or either where the other chickens pecked at her. She is...

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    Thank you so much. Thank you for your kind words, and advice. I pray Ellie May pulls through, and I am gonna get some molasses and vitamin E as well to see if that helps just in case. Could be the Merek's but I am doing all I can for her. I think baby chicks should all be vaccinated...

    Thank you for this information, the outbreak of the Mereks was the beginning of the year of 2024, I was told I could terminate my entire flock and start over, but I also read some can build a immunity to it and only be carriers and survive, I love my girls so I wanted to give them a chance to...

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    I don't have a rooster, but before I could get her isolated the other hens was pecking her, I have seen that happen when a chicken is sick, but she was promptly removed from the coop. They have plenty of space in their coop and a large run area, they do not free range because I live in a...

    Have y'all heard of giving chickens something called magic water? Apple Cider Vinager, honey and garlic?

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    Thank you, and it is very challenging, it has been so heartbreaking loosing my flock throughout this year. I am hoping some will survive and but only time will tell. I am using terramycin ointment on the eyes, and my new chicks are in their own coop on the other side of my property and...

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    They are on Nutrena layer feed, and scratch, as well as meal worms once a day. Their body condition has been good up until about 48 hours ago. They are both Blue Lace Wyandotte's, I had three in my flock and now just two, the sick one and one other, the others are different breeds. The other...

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    Yes that can happen from a vitamin decency that is why I am giving her extra vitamins, but she can't even walk and her eyes are puffy but she will open them when I am giving her fluids. I feed them good feed, scratch, healthy fruit and veggies, there is no reason for her to be deficient but I am...

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    Yes, but one of them just passed. The one with wry neck is still alive, but she can't really move around, but she will drink when I give her water with a syringe. I have not seen anything like this, I wonder if it could be from the cold weather. We went from hot to cold over night.
