    Mareks? Need help with gross necropsy photos.

    She was 11 months, I actually did cut open some of the intestines, thought maybe I would see worms or something but I didn't. I should have cut the gizard open, but I was by myself and using a box cutter. I am going to get a better knife if I ever have to do it again. It was kind of interesting...

    Mareks? Need help with gross necropsy photos.

    We have 45 now, when you say complete what do you mean? Is there something I should be looking for besides protein?

    Mareks? Need help with gross necropsy photos.

    Thank you for the responses, they get a steady diet of 16% layer pellets. About twice a week we give them about 4 handfuls of meal worms, and everyday a few handfuls of scratch. One of the girls, and I think it was this one was eating eggs quite a bit, since she has been isolated it has nearly...

    Lethargic Chicken

    If she makes it it looks like she will be my new pet! I will build a coop for her and others like her. I'm pretty sure that she is the egg pecker, will chickens attack a chicken that pecks eggs?

    Lethargic Chicken

    THAT is a great statement! Yes she is one of my constant broody girls, she never moves when I get the eggs, just looks at me. I'm hoping that the problem with her foot, the way she is balling it up and the inability to walk is from being malnourished, this gives me hope!!

    Lethargic Chicken

    Hi azygous, She is actually one of 27 chickens we have in our chicken coop. There is one section that gets muddy, and it's rained A LOT lately. Everyone was fine last night, this morning I found her in the run unable to stand up. I have her in a sling right now and she is safe and secure in the...

    Lethargic Chicken trouble walking

    I have given the rest of the flock water a full treatment of what you will see in the pic. It is from Tractor supply and supposed to help with sanitizing water, worm infestations and targeting harmful pathogens. I'm hoping its not Mareks, we just put the 12 week olds into the visitors pen to...

    Lethargic Chicken trouble walking

    Thank you for the reply Eggcessive, I have her isolated away from the flock, I am going to make a sling for her directly. She tries to take water from a dropper but waits till I drop it on her beak before trying to get it. She is a little more perky since I've removed her from the sun, but still...

    Lethargic Chicken

    Hi, I found a lethargic chicken this morning, she was just laying in the run and was dirty all over. I took her out and noticed all her feathers were gone on the underside. I think she might have bumblefoot. Can anyone tell from these pics? She is still alive and I got some water in her with a...

    Chickens not laying

    I really like your coop aart, I don't have that kind of talent, to be able to design and build something that awesome. I am a career railroader, so my specialty is solving problems everyday! I am however going to use your plan for the nesting boxes!

    Chickens not laying

    To make this easy, we now have 35 birds. With the loss of some of the pullets and taking out the cockerels. Everyone was doing awesome, I was getting at least 15 eggs a day average, approx. 3 a day were small, before the girls started dyeing, from the smaller sussex pullets. As soon as the...

    Chickens not laying

    Hi aart, the coop is 6 X 16, totally insulated, the run is 16 X 40 and completely fenced in, including the top. We dug down 2 feet and put tin all the way around then backfilled before building. Our ISA's(12) are about 18 months old, and I was incorrect, they ARE molting. We have 6 White...
