    Help? Infection?

    Hi! I noticed one of my Easter eggers eye is swollen. I can’t tell if she got injured or if she has an infection or both. She’s acting normal, eating and drinking. I have zero idea how to treat and where to start. We do not have a chicken vet nearby so that is not an option, I will need home...

    Help! Neuro? Mareks?

    Ugh we have already buried her. I guess if we have another one pass away I can do that. I’m at such a loss.

    Help! Neuro? Mareks?

    I fear I am not meant to be a chicken mom. I have my first flock and they are 21 weeks. We just got our first eggs this week. When they were 2 weeks old I lost power during a snow storm while they were in the brooder. They all ended up with respiratory illness. We just fought coccidia last...

    Bloody poop and swollen crop. Help!

    I know this is old but I’m going through the exact same thing with my 17 week old hens!! What did you do about the ones with a full crop? How did you get them to eat or digest? I am worried!!!

    Coccidia

    Not confirmed. They all have bright red, bloody and mucus stool. Lethargic, puffed up, not eating. I am giving 9 mls of corid in 1 gallon of water.

    Coccidia

    Hi all! First time chicken owner and I feel like I’m going through the ringer. At 3 weeks old my chicks all had upper respiratory infection. I lost 1 but the rest survived. Now we are at week 17 and we have coccidia. I’m so sad and feel like I can’t catch a break already and they haven’t...

    Sick chicky girls

    I got them from a local farm store who gets them from Cackle Hatchery. I did notice some improvement with tiagard, but there was still sneezing. No bad odors, nothing in the beak. That specific chick does have chubby cheeks (she’s a salmon favorelle) but her eyes just look slightly swollen and...

    Sick chicky girls

    Hi! My chicks are still sick with sneezing and some are a little wheezy. It has been 10 days and they have been treated with 5 days of tiagard and are now getting VetRX. I feel like their eyes look a little swollen, but maybe they’re just changing as they’re growing. Is there anything else I...

    Sick chicks

    Okay good to know! I feel like that’s what I’m going to have to do because we are on day 2 with little improvement. How long did you wait in between each dose of tiagard? I feel like I read online once a month?

    Sick chicks

    How are your chicks now? I have some sick ones that are currently on day 2 of tiagard. One is sooo congested she’s breaking my heart. Also all eating and drinking!

    Tiagard for chicks?

    Hi! I just found your post and I'm going through the exact same thing with our 11 2-3week old chicks! I just started Tiagard yesterday. When did you begin to notice a difference? Did you treat all 5 days? Thanks in advance!

    Sick Chickies

    Thank you so much! No, they are back home in our laundry room. I didn't think much about ventilation. I have been having the window open during the day since the weather has been nicer. Fingers crossed they all get over this and are better! Thanks for your reply! :)

    Sick Chickies

    Hi! I am a new chicken mom as of this year. I have 2.5 week old chicks (11 of them). We lost power last Wednesday for about 7 7+ hours. I put very hot water in mason jars and surrounded the chicks for warmth. That morning I had to work and we still did not have power, so I took them over to my...
