Hello! Texas Kiki said you have performed crop surgeries in the past. I was wondering if you knew of any over the counter antibiotics I might be able to purchase online without a vet prescription. Also, in your experience, did your chicken begin having subcutaneous fluids around the surgery site? I'm 2 days after performing the crop surgery and just noticed my hen has some fluids building around the area.

Hi! I know you have a lot of experience with Marek's and I was wondering if you could look at my post and see if my hen's symptoms look like Mareks to you. Thank you! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/hen-with-milky-diarrhea-loses-balance-and-falling-back-onto-hocks.1267612/page-5#post-20422506

Hi! I really appreciate your information... I realized that I feed my small flock a 16% protein food with cracked corn and oyster shell but even as my Cochin is sitting here being hand-fed, she's picking out her choice morsels! I thought the expensive, local feed was the route to go: but I think not. Please remind me what you recommend, as I am going to buy some more today anyway!

You have an avatar! I never thought I'd see the day. It's quite cute.

Hi, I am very new to chicken owning. I had 4 original hens. I purchased 11 more chicks in August that I keep separately. Recently I had to put down one of the new ones when she could not walk. Today we notices that the lone rooster is now having trouble walking. I read a response you wrote on Mareks. I am afraid this is what is happening to us. Do you think I am going to lose everyone of my chickens?
