    Using safeguard paste

    I've searched the internet for the answer to this with no real definitive result. When using safeguard paste to de worm chickens I know it's a pea size drop in the beak, repeat in 10 days, but is the treatment only 1 time or for 3 days consecutive? I know it's not approved in the US and I know...

    Thank you for all the support @rebrascora and I promise, you weren't giving me false hope. It's good to have hope, and I needed to educate myself more on the biology of all of this to understand how it works and what can help prevent the virus from "waking up" as much as possible, and what to...

    I got the final report, and they are declaring a Mareks diagnosis. I have a 4 month old pullet right now with paralysis in both legs. We are going to try hypericum and colloidal silver remedy to see if she has any improvement. I had decided to cull once I got the final report but she then curled...

    I am so sorry to keep bombarding with questions, but at the rate I'm losing my flock I don't know what else to do. So the past 2 days I've noticed black places on several of my birds on their beaks and combs. I noticed this about a week ago on a particular hen that was also broody, and I...

    This disease might be the most vicious thing I have ever encountered. Definitely the most virulent and sadly the most common strain is also the most fatal.

    @rebrascora Do they still get sick and die from this after 5.months old? I ask because the very 1st chicken we had that showed any signs was well over a year.old, maybe 2.. and the one that passed away last weekend was also an older hen. 3 or 4 yrs old.

    I must have a very aggressive strain of this in my flock.. this is #5 since the first one got sick on May 28th this year. 3 of the previous 4 died and 1 is better for now. This morning she had a slight limp and I prayed it was only a minor injury. I separated her anyway to be on the safe side if...

    Yes! @rebrascora I'm very interested in fermented feed! Are fresh grass clippings ok to give them? If so, should I chop them up so they don't get an impacted crop? You may hate me by the time I ask all the questions that keep coming to my head. I can Google these questions but I swear there is...

    @rebrascora do you use vitamin and probiotic supplements daily for your flock? Is it bad for them to keep them on vitamins longer than 10 days? I swear I read that somewhere when I 1st got chickens but can't find it now.

    I meant to say, the last 3 pages that I didn't post aren't anything really .. 1 is almost all. Blank with the address of the diagnostic center and the other 2 are the papers I filled out and signed the day I brought her in. I looked over everything again and I still only see 1 pending test, and...

    @rebrascora you are very right. So I called the diagnostic center and asked about this report was told this is not the final report but an interim.. I told them the ONLY test I see that is pending is the one on the fungal infection in her lungs. The pathologist that's doing my chicken was...

    Please help! Anemic chick dying

    @rebrascora I completely agree. This report was confusing even for my vet today and he told me if it were him, he would just treat the flock as if it's confirmed Mareks .. I guess a better safe than sorry type stance. So to summarize, I've had 4 sick birds.. 2 adults, 2 pullets. 3 have died...
