    Creative Coop Names

    I posted our coop name last year before we got our coop done, so here it is now :) Our backyard backs up to a dry creek bed so that's why we chose the name. :D I love all the creative fun names and ideas you've all come up with. I love the hobbit houses!

    New "sandbox"

    Oh and here's why I wanted to have pink so bad, not only because they're girls but it also matches their coop :D

    New "sandbox"

    I've been wanting to put In a sandbox for months but we were just not up to building anything else at this point, after building the coop and run area, whew. So yesterday I was aT Petsmart and saw they had small puppy pools and in PINK! So I picked one up. I filled it with sand and some wood...

    Marek's and nervous tick

    Okay here is something new, she does have a somewhat fishy smell to her breath. I did give her some soft boiled egg and olive oil this morning,but she ate very little. I haven't smelled this on her before. I just gave her another round of 35 ml of pedialyte and that's when both my son and I...

    Marek's and nervous tick

    Here is a pic of her poop today, it's not as green as my other pullet that had mareks. I did tube her with 35ml of pedialyte last night and she has taken a couple sips of water. She did peck a little at her food but nothing substantial. Her throat occasionally does make a gurgling sound, almost...

    Marek's and nervous tick

    Nambroth, were you able to feel a tumor on the thymus? Was it obvious it was a growth? She definitely doesn't like me feeling in that area and lengthens her neck when I massage and feel around the crop and neck.

    Marek's and nervous tick

    I tubed 35 ml of pedialyte. She wasn't happy with me. I'm hoping this will spark her appetite and help flush her crop out.

    Marek's and nervous tick

    Thank you Nambroth I'll definitely do a more thorough check of her crop. She seems to have a type of contraction of the crop/throat when she pecks food on the floor. Do you think it would be worthwhile to tube some pedialyte in her, or is there some type of treatment I can do to cleanse her...

    Marek's and nervous tick

    My concern wasn't so much how it sounded but that it is so repetitious, even during the night . Her poops aren't as green as my other pullets were but they do have similar chunks. I gave her some scrambled eggs earlier but she only pecked at them a couple times. Her crop is empty and she is very...

    Marek's and nervous tick

    http://youtu.be/UQU4PaFNnMc Okay here's my shot at the video download. She isn't doing this as much as yesterday, probably about every 5 to 10 min. she isn't doing well at all, does anyone have any ideas of anything I can do for her? I know it isn't curable.

    Marek's and nervous tick

    Here is a video of her barking. Also her waddles are turning a purple color and she seems to have spasms with her crop/throat, and is panting. This is not at all what my other pullet exhibited so I thought this would be helpful to others dealing with Mareks and different symptoms of it. I'm...

    Marek's and nervous tick

    I'll try to get a video today. She doesn't seem to be doing it as much this morning.

    Marek's and nervous tick

    We have confirmed mareks in our flock. We had a necropsy done on our one bird that recently had to be put down. I have one other girl that seems to have a nervous tick. She has always " barked", like a small dog, and now she is doing it every few minutes or so, is this a sign of mareks that...

    My Crop Tube Feeding Journey With My Bird (Pics For Visuals- VERY detailed Post)

    I just wanted to let you all know that the results of Belle's necropsy confirmed Mareks disease. The leg that I thought was hurt was the enlargement of the sciatic nerve. I'm glad to know what it was, however I'm nervous for the rest of my girls. Thanks all for your help, especially Kathy.

    Necropsy question. Not an emergency.

    I am wanting to send my 6mo old pullet that passed yesterday for a necropsy, however, I'm not allowed to have chickens here. Has anyone had any issues with authorities being notified? Maybe it is too risky. I can use my parents address as they live in the country just a few miles from me, what...
