Gah! I mean at this young- I assumed 😩

2-3 week old black Austalorp.. this is a roo, huh??

Thank you.

She seemed to like being held, so she got that today. Sometimes they just have something wrong I guess.

Well, she passed really quickly. We tried. At least she wasn’t in the bin at TSC when it happened.

Yes, trying to keep her and comfortable as possible.

Thank you. She won’t even get up for food and water…

Picked up four chicks at TSC today. Noticed one that was face planted in the wood chips. The lady threw it in for free. I have tried electrolytes, egg yolk… it just isn’t getting its bearings.. any other advice? It seems to get up and flail around a little, tried to eat once. It does chirp when...

Thank you so much. I am in West Tennessee- about 45 mins north of Memphis.

Posted a pic below. On girl does have a swollen left eye/side of face with welts. Her right side is clearer.

I was able to get a screen shot from a video earlier this afternoon. This literally came on in a couple days. Makes me feel so bad.

Well, two of my five girls has fowl pox. This is a first for me. I have read through everything and it looks like it just has to run its course. Any suggestions while we wait it out? Thank you 🫶

Yes, unless she needs to be moved out from picking, I will leave her be.

Thank you! Very good to know. She is one of the top hens- but I will keep an eye out when her crest starts molting to make sure they aren’t picking it.
