    dog attacked chicken HELP

    thanks for your honesty. dog meat is gamey from what I've heard and not very edible. If I had a cow to be put down I would probably humanely kill it and eat the meat.

    dog attacked chicken HELP

    Two dogs (someone owned these, they had collars, I'm sure they don't have rabies, just are ******* dogs) attacked my flock yesterday. I think the only one they got to was chiquita, who already could not walk -due to her splayed leg/crooked toe -that I tried to fix numerous times but she would...

    http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/search/label/crooked%20toe%20curled%20toes This should help you. If your talking about a correction for legs, not wings you didn't say. She makes a "sandal" to correct curled toe. AND ties legs together loosely to correct splayed leg.

    from what I've read even vaccinated chicks can get the disease. It is airborne and highly contagious. I suspected possible mareks in one of my hens, I quarrantined her from others. And just brought her back to the flock, since I don't think she has mareks, just a leg problem since she's too fat.

    Yes. That is just the medicinal name for st johns wort. I just looked it up in my book of 150 healing herbs

    fyi: for those who don't know, this is also called st john's wort, which is much easier to find. there are herbal capsules that you can open and dump out. found at trader joes, whole foods, maybe even walmart

    hen walking problem video included splayed spraddle leg? mareks?

    Has anyone heard of chickens having strokes? Another chicken owner mentioned it happens a lot, maybe this is what happened hopefully?

    hen walking problem video included splayed spraddle leg? mareks?

    reply to everyone: sorry it to so long to come back on. Chiquita, the white hen in the video, is now seperated from the others and i spiked her food with echinacea and green veggie powder. The other chickens all seem perfectly fine, I am kind of banking on it not being mareks I really don't have...

    hen walking problem video included splayed spraddle leg? mareks?

    as a chick, I though both white one walked a little funny, but they still walked, so I thought it must have been just because they were so fat. I have heard of mareks and read up on it but her legs are not paralyzed. She seems good in health, although her underbelly is red and irritated, and...
