    Too many roosters in a flock that has been exposed to Marek’s

    Thank you for all the answers:) I think we’re going try to work out a bachelor pad for them. They free range on 2 acres during the day so, We will need to figure that out but that seems like the answer that would work best for us. But for the bachelor pad itself, we just need to find a great...

    Lavender Orpingtons - Are these roosters?

    Thanks! The bachelor pad idea would probably be one we could figure out. My 13-year-old daughter is our family chicken whisperer and she loves them like pets. Some of them fight but maybe not if the hens were around?

    Lavender Orpingtons - Are these roosters?

    Thank you everyone! That’s what I thought. Unfortunately this means that we have at least seven (maybe 8) roosters in a flock of 23! To make matters more complicated, I had a chicken die a couple months ago and the vet thought that it was probably Marek’s so now I should consider the whole...

    Lavender Orpingtons - Are these roosters?

    Hi! I have two lavender Orpingtons that I think may both be roosters. Could somebody confirm my suspicions? They are 3 to 5 months old. Unfortunately this will mean that we have entirely too many roosters!!

We took him to an avian vet Twice now and has been on Three other types of antibiotics, as they have been concerned that he is either septic or close to being septic with a very bad bacterial infection.

    Upper respiratory/ eye discharge

    I found a place that I can get tylan today via curbside pickup so I will go grab that if you think it’s the best first response. We have the sick ones Quarantined in a separate coop so hopefully that will help it not spread! Thanks!

    Upper respiratory/ eye discharge

    Thank you so much for your thorough reply! We are under a shelter in place order here so trying not to leave the house but I will try the Tylan first. The only problem is it doesn’t get delivered until the 28th so I’m a little worried about that. The baytril will be here on the 26th but as you...

    Sick chicken – need advice!

    Sure - I’ll take some tomorrow. I did look at a chicken poop chart and there isn’t any blood or anything. It’s actually starting to solidify a little bit as of tonight and looking more normal. There is a ton of it all over her we are feathers, but I looked at her vent and it looks fairly normal...
