I think 2, 3, 5 are...
Chickens can recover from Marek's- Many do and lose symptoms. They will always be a carrier and infect other chickens. That are introduced. I read an article on here from a woman who found by breeding her Marek's survivors that she didn't have a problem with Mareks like she did introducing new...
Hello!
We are on our first flock. We got our first chicks in May of this year. As of today, we lost 3 birds due to sickness, and I feel like the most terrible chicken owner.
-1 Silkie Mix passed away due to suspicious Marek's symptoms- could not move side of body. Quarantined & Hand fed her...
She seemed to be doing better, she was sitting up, walking around and this morning I found her passed away :(
I saw a couple posts about Nutridench killing chickens. We put poultry cell in out water, we have since chicks. Could that be contributing?
I didn't see any maggots, just lots of poop.
She hasn't laid an egg yet. We got her in May, so she should start laying soon-ish, but not yet.
She is looking better. Haven't heard any sqauwking yet. However, have her seperated in our quarantine coop & run for now until we are sure.

Easter Egger Hen was squawking when I went outside to feed them today. She looked very lethargic and let me pick her up (abnormal).
I noticed her vent area was very poopy. I soaked her bottom in a bucket of water and tried to clean a bit, but she was flappy like mad. There's still muck...
I dont think i explained it right- im not as worried as she is not using the rossting bars, however she will not enter the hen house with the other chickens. she sleeps right outside that door :( We put her in every night.
Hi Everyone!
It's been a while since this post and Lady is still not going in the coop. She is sleeping right outside the door by the fencing.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hello!
We purchased 2 Silkie Hens (2 year olds) a little over a week ago. Our white Silkie will NOT go into the coop at night. The Brown Silkie has acclimated just fine and goes into the coop and roosts with the other hens. I have been putting the white one in every night. I tried putting her...
Hi Everyone!
We are driving to a farm tomorrow to drop off all our boys to a rooster farm. We wanted to take all the boys with us since the farm is pretty far.
Right now, we will be taking Nightwing, Raptor, Bowser, and Yang. (along with our 2 roosters)
I am not sure if we should take...
