    Two sickly birds: trouble walking, imbalance turned to lethargy

    Hi Wyorp Rock! Thanks again for your advice. We lost the birds and did a necropsy on both, and they were diagnosed with Marek's disease. I'm just starting my research (and just left a message with Colorado State avian hotline) on managing this with the rest of our birds, but if you have any...

    Your hunch was right! They were not vaccinated, and the necropsy showed Marek's.

    Sprouts for chickens

    Do you all ever struggle with mold growing in your sprouts? Even rinsing twice per day, I have found a little white fuzzy mold growing!

    Sudden limping in 2 pullets and one with a limp wing

    Hello! I know this is an old thread, but I have some birds with similar conditions. Did the B vitamins help at all? Or did you figure anything out with them? I am so sorry-- it all sounded so stressful!

    Two sickly birds: trouble walking, imbalance turned to lethargy

    I combed through their feed and deep cleaned the coop with no signs of mold or wet spots, but thank you so much for the idea to check. Both birds are still eating, with no significant decline. They have access to feed with added vitamins and both clear and fortified water. I'm curious if you...

    Pullet Stumbling

    I have a chicken in a similar situation, but we did the corid over a month ago. I'm curious if you figured anything out here! Did your pullet pull through?

    Two sickly birds: trouble walking, imbalance turned to lethargy

    Hello! I have two birds exhibiting the same symptoms a few days apart. White pullet started showing symptoms of some lethargy plus "drunken" walk three days ago. We quarantined her with water, water with electrolytes and her feed supplemented with "rooster booster" vitamins. She has only become...

    Molt or problem?

    Hello! I have two chickens, both one year old, who I thought were molting but they have looked like this for a few weeks now, not losing more feathers but not looking better either. I just want to check! We have three hens in a coop built for 8 with a large run, plus we let them free range. I...

    Thank you! We have 22 in the incubator right now, so if we have a high hatch rate they wont last long in this brooder, but I'm working on setting up a protected section of our coop with heat so they should have a nice space to transition to soon!
