    Poo patrol, I need your help

    She is about 2 years old. I started her on fenbendazole and toltrazuril yesterday. Fenbendazole is on water and toltrazuril was fed directly. She got her second dose tonight. We do have a vet that has seen several of our chickens and had necropsy done on several. It is a 40 minute drive away...

    My Barred Rock hen is leaning right

    Not really because they know us. This vet has seen a bunch of our chickens this year because we have lost several to various other illnesses this year. And each one has been pampered until it was time to let them go. My neighbor has had several bouts with mareks over the last two years. They...

    My Barred Rock hen is leaning right

    Vet thinks mereks. The bulge on her left side is the base of her neck. No other signs of trama from a skeleton perspective.

    My Barred Rock hen is leaning right

    We brought her inside to observe. Today I was able to get some better pictures of her condition. What looks like a bulge is more prominent now. It almost feels like her crop is on the wrong side, some sort of growth, or the base of her neck crooked. I am making an appt with our chicken vet...
