    Tom with infected eye

    My tom has very recently lost his eye, not exactly sure how but I am guessing he got into a fight. He is separated and looked to be healing nicely, but now the eye looks infected. Is there an OTC antibiotic I can give/inject? Vet care not probably an option, vet up here told me culling is...

    Chicken with tail down, kind of off balance

    That was a treat (game bird scratch) to get her to come to the feeder. They're being fed flock raiser. Yes she has been vaccinated for Mareks, but I understand it can be a leaky vaccine. Is this a Mareks symptom? Still E/D normally, can still run and such, but when she puts her tail down she...

    Its a leaky vaccine that serves a little protection to the chickens when they get marecks, makes their symptoms less catastrophic. They are still able to be infected and shed the virus

    Am I correct in assuming I can no longer hatch and sell?

    What do you do when marecks strikes?

    I hatch on a small hobby wise scale- and sell chicks. It's a lot of fun. Recently I purchased a small flock (9) of polish chickens from what seemed like a clean NPIP certified and vaccinated flock. They have been under extremely strict quarantine because I found they have lice and mites. I...

It has had an abnormally large crop since we got it 4 weeks ago. I've read about sour crop and a crop impaction, but I am on the fence because...
