Were they tested for Merek's? The one I had tested was having these symptoms, so I took it to an extension of Auburn University’s poultry lab. I actually watched and saw the coccidia myself under the microscope. It was a very through exam and also sent samples to...
I've got hens and two roosters that have been slowly wilting away. I've lost count on the hens, probably about 10. I got these at Tracot Supply last February. I had one analyzed and it tested for coccidia and coryza. I've treated the flock, thought the coccidia would be dead for sure. But...
Looking more like Marek's disease. I guess it's going to take out my flock one by one. I've got another one now that is lame as hell, and just so suddenly. This one has stool tracks that are green. I lost the one I originally posted about. My first flock was healthy and got eaten, and I...
There is 26 chickens total. Some have been having the runs, but unsure about this one. The breed is RI Red, but the others was buff orp and barred rock
I have a 5 month old chicken which is going down very fast. I let my birds out every evening to roam the yard. They all seemed fine, then I noticed this hen was having problems walking. The longer I watched, the worse she got. Her feet are almost rolled up in a ball at times when she's...
My new favorite product is Vetericyn. I had a juvenile chicken with a BAD eye infection. I tried Neosporin with no success. The eye eventually looked like there was a marble in it. I sprayed this stuff on and within minutes puss began running out. This happened every time I sprayed it...
I've got about 25 birds, about 4 months old. I need to separate 4 sick birds. I don't have an outside place to put them. I have a large 4'x4' brooder I put them in, but it is in my shop. It gets rather warm in there during the day. I'm wondering if that is better for them or worse. Any...
I don't know if they get mange or not. But I looked at some chicks at tractor supply today. They looked horrible. They looked to be 3-5 weeks old. Their feathers were thin. Skin was showing underneath. The whole container had a horrible odor. Looked like mange to me. And the smell was...
I been been having an issue lately with my young birds. Some of them have been having problems with their eyes. I've medicated the eyes with neosporin and they get better. I haven't had an issue for a while. Then I went to the brooder and noticed one had issues with both eyes. I treated the...
That sounds like it could fit. I got them from an individual, so I highly doubt they have been vaccinated. Lord help! I'm Going to need to go to vet school to be able to raise these birds. I've always been pretty good with animals.
I have 3 barred rocks and 3 Rhode Island reds. I got these when the barred rocks were a week old and the Rhodes were a month old. I got them about a month ago.
When I got home from work yesterday I noticed one of the barred rocks was laying on her back. I picked her up and she seemed stiff...
