So today I went by tractor supply and found out the FDA is trying to regulate and do away with OTC Antibiotics, like most peps on here are suggesting. Thought it was interesting to know about! Time to go more Natural and Research a healthier way to treat your poultry, cattle, sheep, etc...

My chickens chased after the raw purple onions I gave them. I hope they will be ok! They loved them & gobbled them up so fast. I thought onions have a ton of health benefits.

Ive been having issues with my flock over the last 7 months, 11 birds died. Have waiting this long to get necropsy because I was unaware of what to do. Took sick chickens to the vet, didn't work and they died. Shipped one out to get Necropsy, diagnosis was Pox, which didn't add up to the chicken...

Finally found a diagnostics lab with a very kind vet to help me! I literately talked to Dr Ficken multiple times and he never rushed me or made me feel stupid or like I shouldn't be raising chickens, in which other vets have over these last few months. He was willing to work with me and gave me...

My wry neck chicken has had a bad spell over these last 2 weeks. Hardly can come out of twisted neck. Been giving her Selenium, Vit E, Performance Poultry Probiotics & Electrolytes. Unsure what to do now. I have had to hand feed her while holding her neck and continuing to unswist her neck. Any...

UPDATE: I had three silkies die recently. Shipped them off to get necropsy because everything pointed to Marek's Virus. Thank the Lord that I finally got some results: COCCIDIOSIS- Eimeria Necatirx.Treatable with Amprolioum and preventable for future up bringing. So thankful. :) Wish I would...

He was a gorgeous Rooster! so sorry for your loss.

Thank you for this post! How's your chicken now?

Do you have pics of the marek's split posture? Mine feel ill for a few days wings dropped & wobbly-then either bounce back or go downhill. Droppings are runny/smelly/and usually green. Not eating, drinking little to none, laying down, head droops, eyes close, breathing slows-see a lot of butt...

The birds that have survived Outbreaks were given: selinium, vit E, poly-vi-sol, lavender & oregano essential oil. Either in their water or mixed in with feed. I've also added rooster booster to all flock feed routinely. Apple cider vinager in water routinely, sometimes add 2 drops of oregano &...

Thank you for your post!! I'm battling with figuring what my flock has had over the last year. I have had one necropsy but not happy with results Bc the symptoms don't point to it, wet pox. I got a second opinion and this vet believes it is merek's. My next bird will go in for necropsy to...

My hens are finally filling out. They are 4-5 months, not 6-9 months. They needed time to plump up! Things still are up and down but sending the next chicken off to another lab/different vet, this vet believes it is mareks. If that is true, there is no disinfectant to help spread the disease? I...

Charm surprised me & did not die! Although I still have an issue on my hands. Talked to vet and symptoms point to marek's he stated. When another dies, I need to send in and confirm. Vet says what my flock has seems slow growing, taking months to show symptoms. Symptoms start around 4-5 months...

post results on necropsy please

I have heard silkies are difficult to raise. I have raised 6 now to adult age. I have one that has wry neck, one with a weird looking comb, and three that are showing symptoms of illness, and one suddenly died after falling on its head. The ones that are showing illness are not eating, drinking...
