The second pic is about a month after the injury... The other question I have is what am I supposed to do with the hanging off flesh of the red chicken?!!?!
I have a 1 year old roo. All of my other established flock was taken out by predators. In Feb, I got more chicks and introduced the pullets to the roo about a month ago. He has grabbed ahold of 2 of them now and ripped their feathers out so hard- one had Cartledge showing. Today- he got another...
Something drug my hand off and plotter clean of her belly feathers and hind back feathers but she somehow managed to escape and showed back up the next morning. She doesn't have any major wounds but I'm concerned about her being in the cold without any feathers on her belly. Can she make it in...
i think some of my birds died of mareks. Now I need new chicks. I can't find anyone to purchase a small qty already vaccinated so my question: can I buy them and vaccinate myself. I will keep them in a brooder until they are bigger so I believe they won't be exposed.
About a month ago I posted about a sick hen. I have attached a pic of her eye here. Someone suggested it maybe merek's disease. I read everything I can on it and decided to cull her. Nothing has happened since. Until last night- 2 more hens looked confused and unable to perch. One was dead by...

It sounds like mareks to me now that I have read the description... It sounds like it's contagious- does...
I don't know what it is but all of my new checks got it and as you mentioned before all of them fell off after a while. I think it may be a form of pox
Thanks for your reply. She has been separated since I noticed she was sick.The only new chickens that I have introduced into my flock is from Abrey him who hatched some eggs. I haven't brought in new soil into the run but I did have a load of sand dumped in a low area outside the run where they...
I have a year and a half told hen that started acting Soloment with one eye closed last week. She's the weakest of the flock so I thought she just may be hurt being picked on. Now she stopped eating and is stumbling around. I thought owner hands were immune to Cocci? Should I treat the rest of...
