    Possible Mareks waiting for Necropsy results

    I posted a thread a few days ago about my sick chickens. I referenced it below. Thank you for the responses to that post! Today I took my sick silkie to the vet. We lost two other 6 month old pullets about a month ago to an unknown sickness. The vet is suspecting Mareks. :( she said if it...

    What am I doing wrong?! Very discouraged with sick chickens.

    Thanks for all your responses. Update - I brought my silkie to the vet today. They had to put him to sleep, he was suffering and not getting any better. They suspect mareks and said if it's mareks I'll have to eithenize my entire flock?! Currently the silkie is being flown to Washington State...

    Yes, the chicks from the hatchery were vaccinated. So about 6 weeks ago I found little mites on my silkie. Okay, backstory -- My hen house is used. It's an OverEz Large hen house. Ventilation is the windows and some areas near the roof. I cleaned it before putting my chickens in there. However...

    That is very hard for me to believe but maybe I'm missing something? I'm out there almost daily cleaning up their poo with a scooper. I wash their waters with soap every 4 to 5 days. Their hen house gets cleaned with new pine shavings every two weeks, while scooping out the major spots every...

    They are in my backyard. They have half of the yard blocked off, so they're running around lots of grassy area. I also have a 7x26 ft chicken run with sand in it. Every couple of days I go out there and clean poo out of chicken run and spray the grass to get the extra droppings washed away. I...

    Oh okay. I didn't think of something coming from the farm. I am feeding them a mix of crumble and laying pellets from Naturewise. I think I should look into getting a Necropsy done at this point....

    Hello everyone, I may sound like a broken record at this point. However, I'm at my wits end. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I've made some big mistakes?? I would really love some honest feedback. I have a young flock of about 12 chickens. All ranging from 3.5 to 5 months old. We...
