    Toxin Suspect Recovering - Should I Keep Her Quarantined?

    So my hen is recovering. Long story short, I suspect she had some sort of toxin because of the speed on onset and her also fairly rapid recovery. I found her barely able to move about a week ago, and now with just gentle care she's fairly active. For more details please see the topic link below...

    HELP! What is wrong? Droopy wing, beak down, Pictures..

    Threehorses, I just brought her inside, kept her warm and helped her drink some water. I didn't do a flush or anything or vitamins. I assumed it was Marek's and was just waiting until I had time to dig a hole before culling her. Then she started getting better! Now she's not up to a normal...

    HELP! What is wrong? Droopy wing, beak down, Pictures..

    After reading this, I'm thinking maybe my pullet has botulism too. I found her if a very similar posture with her beak on the ground. With just gentle care she seems to getting better. How long do I need to isolate her from the group for?

    Sick Chikcen

    So, update. I'm going to assume it's not Marek's, because my hen is walking again! I haven't done anything other than keep here inside and give her food and water.

    Sick Chikcen

    I'd really appreciate anyone else's opinion on this. I can't even get her to drink. She occasionally stirs a little bit every half hour or so.

    Sick Chikcen

    Her weights fine. She's actually grown a bit more than some of the other girls she came with. I didn't notice anything wrong with her yesterday, but I didn't do much more than count them. So it could be a progressive thing. I didn't see any unusual poop out there, and she hasn't pooped since I...

    Sick Chikcen

    Should I hand feed and water her? Is it safe to do that with a syringe? The only other main symptom I've noticed is that her eyes were almost sealed shut with mucous. I've cleaned that off now though.

    Sick Chikcen

    Help! I have a almost 5 month old chantecler pullet that isn't really moving. She seemed fine yesterday, but today when I came out, she went to run away from and fell over. There's not sign of external injury that I can find. There's a little bit of excrement on her feathers near the vent, but...

    WANTED: EASTERN WILD TURKEY EGGS, JUST A FEW

    Southernchick, I would recommend checking out the laws in your area and finding out if its even legal to release captive bred birds or to feed wild ones. I know in Montana, we have strict laws against it. Of course some of my neighbors feed turkeys anyways, and they regularly become roadkill...
