    Three Sickos

    Update We put the rest of our chickens down Saturday. I called to see if they had any more information and they said they are now recommending euthanizing the birds from the sick batch immediately. So after many, many tears I brought them in. They recommended that we sterilize our coop and...

    Three Sickos

    Thanks Eggcessive! We are treating the others with Corin until Wednesday. Is that enough or would you be giving them Tylan as well? All of them or just the frothy eyed pullet? Also, if these three make it, as Gary stated above would my flock carry this to pass on to any new members later on?

    Three Sickos

    Today the 7wk pullet with the frothy eye had diarrhea that was clear and frothy, from the thin yellow/brown diarrhea she used to have. :( She doesn't seem to be in any pain though, they all seem quite energetic.

    Gary, I worry about them being carriers too. I would like more than 3 in my flock but I won't risk adding more while any of these are alive. Thanks for your response! PS... MPC said culling them is the most likely end to this scenario, I just am not ready to accept that just yet :(

    Thank you! The vet did suggest the necropsy, however I opted against it because I didn't want to keep the bird in our fridge from Saturday until Monday and drive it 8.5 hours round trip to Madison, my nearest facility that offers that service. I am relieved you don't think gapeworms are...

    Three Sickos

    We received our first three 6wk EE chickens from MPC not even 2 weeks ago. One of them did not make the first night. We spoke to MPC about our loss, excellent customer service. They suggested that if we would like more than two chickens to go ahead and get at least two more chickens to bring...

    Gapeworm or respiratory illness??

    I found this thread while searching for info... If my birds have these same symptoms, would it still be bronchitis if my son gave them a couple dozen earthworms one day after a good rain?

    Here is another image of them the day we brought them home.

    How old do these Wyandottes look?

    Yep, those are 2x4s. Aside from diseases/ mites etc I'm not worried about them being together, if anything we are excited for eggs sooner!

    How old do these Wyandottes look?

    We are a week into our first flock. My husband picked them up from a farm not too far from our house. The lady told him they were 10 weeks, but they look huge! Is this how fast Wyandottes grow, or was she taking advantage that he wouldn't really know what he was looking at? They are pictured...

    Hello! Second day, terrible night.

    Thank you everybody. It very well could be bullying, she would have put up the least fight as she seemed the weak link. For some reason with this situation my mind kept coming back to that episode of the Simpsons where a handful of characters are lost at sea on a life raft. They see a seagull...

    We lost one, think this is why?

    I'm adding a photo of where the platform is compared to the ladder for reference.

    We lost one, think this is why?

    We picked up our 6wk old EEs yesterday morning. They all seemed lethargic after an overnight drive from mypetchicken to our post office. They all found their food and water ok, and as night fell I realized they weren't going to find their way into the coop. I scooped them up one by one and put...
