    11 week old Sussex sitting down!

    Using wings to maneuver herself does not sound good. I have a speckled Sussex who has been sitting on her haunches for a year now. But she also has jaundice. I've tried antibiotics and Corid, no change. Some days she can't get out of her nest. I just try to spoil her. Marek's would be one...

    Advice needed please. sick with guilt over chicken's death.

    You are allowed to cry your eyes out and mourn your girl. I've had pet chickens for 10 years and can't tell you how many times I've cried uncontrollably for a beloved bird. In fact, with Marek's,, I've had to start burying in rows so I don't run out of room. There are just some chickens, not...

    Yes chickens can have fleas

    They are improving. No more clumps. Very few fleas. But between the Vaseline on their faces and dirt, I have a bunch of shampoos to do this week as it will be warm

    Easter Egger wobbly, almost drunk looking.

    I hope your feed store guy knows vast experience about chickens. Mine do not. I've found that they don't. Casportpony is good with dosages.

    Easter Egger wobbly, almost drunk looking.

    If she has advanced to paralysis and is very uncoordinated at eating, I would also look into Marek's, as well as a scorpion bite.

    Bubble eye's pond

    It's funny. I am not crazy about hot and humid, but I found it's okay , I don't dwell on it, work in the shade, and drink alot. I can't let the heat keep me from doing things.

    2 sick 10 week old Seramas

    I have read that chlorine does not do a good job. The disinfector that does mention Marek's and produced for animals is called Virkon. A tub of it lasts for years. It's also the most effective on porous surfaces like wood than anything else.

    2 sick 10 week old Seramas

    EggSightedFor4Life, Marek's is such a controversial subject. Some people like you keep reading and stay up to date from the appropriate places. I wish everyone would. There's so much misinformation out there. Most if not all Commercial chicken companies like those who produce chicken for...

    Yes chickens can have fleas

    Stick tight fleas. I was unaware for quite a while that I had them on my flock since I've never seen one before. But one of my Polish hens got listless and thin when she used to be active and good weight. I did a thorough hands on and her face was covered with these blood sucking fleas. Then...

    Romaine and e coli

    When we lived in Turkey years ago, we had to soak all our veggies in a small amount of bleach added to the water for 30 minutes due to e. coli.

    What is happening to my flock??

    I am really glad to hear you will test. Nothing beats the exact cause instead of a lot of guessing. Send the bird to your state animal disease lab. Your vet doesn't have the means to do a thorough necropsy.

    Bubble eye's pond

    There's more today and I get the feeling that we are both being manipulated. I'm the special daughter (first time in 58 years) and she is the villain now. My daughter would cut her hand off before she would upset my mother. However, my daughter calls me crying because she called my mom to...

    Bubble eye's pond

    It will be cold here tonight. Everyone got extra shavings and whatever I could do. But I had to really get a feel for what you really cold guys are going through-so I bought the first season of Fargo, and yes it does demonstrate cold very well!

    2 sick 10 week old Seramas

    Yes I think when to cull is more of a personal opinion. I don't think all backyard flocks have Marek's. But most places of commercial chicken production-that's another story. They do all get a vaccine for it. My lab charges $35.00 and I pay overnight shipping which is less than $25 because...

    Is euthanasia necessary if chicken cannot walk?

    If they lose weight, it basically means that they are not making it. I have a blind chicken who I noticed was being chased around. I took her and her BFF into a separate pen and put food and water in there and never move it. She has quite a good amount of meat on her bones. She's 10 years...

    Mareks vaccine question?

    That's fine. I do tend to reiterate that Marek's vaccinated chicks need to be quarantined for at least 3 weeks to give their antibodies time to increase.
