    Vaccinate or Not

    This is our first go-around with chickens, and we chose to have our day olds vaccinated for Mareks and Cocci from Murray. I understand both sides of the argument. Our decision was based on the fact we have a small flock (17 birds currently) and will not sell or distribute any of the birds. We...

    As an update, we had our vet stop out to see our setup and birds. She wanted us to treat for scaly leg mites first, as the big legged bird almost showed signs of it. Those treatments are complete now. She was hesitant to try more than that because of the entire flocks health. No respiratory...

    Chicken escaped - but in the dark AND at a new location

    Glad to see your chicken showed back up! We didn't get as lucky and lost a young polish this way a couple months ago.

    Thanks for the thoughts. What would dosing on fishmox be? Orally I assume? Egg withdrawl timing? I got a return call from our vet this evening and they asked for some pictures before suggesting further steps. I'll attach the images I sent them. These pictures are comparing the two same age...

    Whiting True Blue with big legs

    We were able to grab more pictures of the chickens legs tonight. FWIW, other than being an outsider to the other 4 new chickens it came with, the one in question seems perfectly healthy. Bright eyed, no odd noises, eats and drinks well, I'm not sure what its poop looks like in particular but I...

    Thanks all for the warm welcome. I have a lot to learn, seems like this is the place to do that. I just hope I'm able to give back in some way!

    I'll grab more pictures tomorrow, I wasn't able tonight. The chickens legs are not soft, they feel hard and not abnormally warm. Is this did happen to be the disease, are the other chickens I got with this one and the the rest of our flock at risk?

    All good suggestions thank you. Again, being new I need to ask. Would you treat more than one chicken or just the one presenting? Also, Tylan looks to be backordered anywhere I search, including the above link. I'll call tractor supply to ask, but their website doesnt show anything. I'm...

    Thanks for the thoughts. Is blood or fecal tests the only way to confirm a diagnosis for something like this?

    Whiting True Blue with big legs

    Good evening, We recently (last Thursday) added 5 more chickens to our flock. We bought them from a somewhat local CSA who was looking to reduce their flock size a bit before winter. All the chickens were around 10 months old. 2 of the chickens we got were Whiting True Blue. My understanding...
