    Chicken cannot walk

    Chicken cannot walk

    Chicken cannot walk

    My hen is about 4 years old. If it was Marek's wouldn't the other 2 chicken's have it too by now? I think they were inoculated at the hatchery as chicks.

    Reduced swimming, quacking, eating, thinner. He is18 years old. Is there anything I can do? Or is he just at the end of his lifespan? Gets duck chow, meal worm, no toxic plants in pen. Will give poultry drench. No other symptoms.

    BIRD FLU - WORRIED

    I got my new chickens from a local farmer in NJ thinking that they were from her farm. Now I am finding out that many of these farmers order chicks from the Midwest and just resell them.

    How to tell black chicks apart
