Hes improved in every way..except for his jumping...the chickens sleep in a tree at night..he cant jump..just tries to climb for a few minutes and then falls down and walks around squawking until i pick him up and put him upstairs with me..hes been getting rooster booster every day in his...
Thats what i thought..lost 14 in last 3 months from mareks..all under 4 months old..hes one of my oldest pullets..will be 1 year old on march 8th..we have 5 that are 8 months old with occular mareks...all others are doing fine..hes my only sick one so far
Hes been getting elctrolytes since it started..no change..he walks slow...lays down a lot..and if he gets bumped he just falls and sits there..and instead of jumping up to roost at night he just sits on ground and squawks..thats why i think mareks..ive treated for other sickness...
I have an 11 month old..wyandotte/silkie mix..started 3 days ago after heavy snow...at first he was just walking slow..now he is always trying to sleep..his squawks and chirps are super quiet..his wings are a little droopy..and he has no balance..if he gets bumped or strong wind he falls...
Just noticed one of my pullets has a what looks like a 2nd pupil attached to its regular pupil...same colour...im trying to get pics now..but best comparison is when you make eggs and the yolk breaks and runs..idk what it means
1..she was the size of my thumb when born...so she was very stunted...2...she was bit by a dog...sprained her leg and put her on bed rest for 3 weeks..shes fine now..born in a batch of 14..and on a farm with 43 other free range..no one else acted like her..so no mareks..thanks for asking...
ya..she basically needs a place thats safe..and she wont be killed by other pullets/hens...shes fun..and very energetic...i just cant keep her here anymore..im a farm hand...too much work to do to have to stop and care for her or check on her
ameraucaaa...trills and chirps a lot..but is half the size shes supposed to be..so she cannot be with flock...otherwise a very happy/annoying little honker
Im in elma...the bird is a chicken..lol...SilentEmu is my name here...the pullet is an ameraucana..she is half the size shes supposed to be..and cannot be with others in flock..they'd kill her
