    Chicken has Cloudy Eyes and is Blind

    That is so strange! If most died, I would wonder if it is ocular mareks. Were their pupils misshaped? One of the reasons I am so confused is, their pupils are round and not one has died in 6 months of this starting.

    Chicken has Cloudy Eyes and is Blind

    No ammonia either! I clean their coops often and put down first Saturday lime. And this one is in a separate very open coop. I was wondering about antibiotic ointment. I’m mostly freaked out about ocular mereks, but it doesn’t have the symptoms for that that I know of. I will start that...

    Chicken has Cloudy Eyes and is Blind

    Backstory: 2 chickens went mostly blind 4 months ago around the same time. Cloudy eyes but pupils stayed perfectly round and no other symptoms since. Just mostly blind and living their best life. Last week, in a pen across my yard, I found another chicken with cloudy eyes and mostly blind...

    Sick Chicken, What Would You Do????

    Hello, I have a Serama that is lethargic, has watery nasal discharge, had bubbles in one eye, and some labored breathing. The weird thing is, she also had pretty bright red blood in her poop today. I’m concerned that whatever she’s carrying might be shed for life. I have 11 baby/teenage...

    Cornish Cross Meat Birds Feed Conversion Rate Question

    Hello, I am trying to figure out the average FCR for Cornish Hens and how to explain it as simple as possible. I have seen a lot of numbers that don't add up. I just read that average FCR is 2.5:1 to 3:1 so a 7 lb bird would have eaten 15-18 lbs of food. Wouldn't It be 17-21 lbs of food...

    Is this Ocular Mareks?

    I will start them on Vitamin E today. I would rather that than Mareks! Although the encephalomyelitis doesn’t look great either.

    Is this Ocular Mareks?

    Yes I took the the second pictures because it did look irregular in that pic but wasn’t. Although, it’s not super outlined like the one on the left. But no irregularities like the one on the right.

    Is this Ocular Mareks?

    Thank you. They are pullets and I’m really hoping it’s cataracts. Possibly a vitamin e deficiency? I am going to get one tested for mareks to rule it out.

    Is this Ocular Mareks?

    Both their pupils are pretty round. It’s super hard to catch with light reflecting off of it. Black one has round pupils. No other symptoms except the white one might have her tail feathers down a bit and isn’t as active. But I wouldn’t say she is lethargic either. She walks around all day.

    Is this Ocular Mareks?

    The white chicken suddenly became mostly blind with cloudy pupils. I was seriously hoping it was cataracts. But now the black chicken is doing the same thing. So I suspect Mareks. It’s a grow out pen away from my big girls. Any advice?

    Coryza in one chicken

    One of my birds fell sick and then her face swelled. I think it’s Coryza. I’m probably going to cull her since I know it stays with them forever. I separated her from the flock. None of my other chickens have any symptoms. Her symptoms started 4 days ago. So I know there is still a...
