Hi, all. Today I just noticed one of my barred rock girls hobbling around significantly. I'm not out as much these days due to having a newborn (my husband does chicken chores and isn't the most stellar with paying attention to detail, god love him) so I have no clue how long she's been like...
Last week I noticed my one year old barred rock slightly limping but didn’t see anything on her foot. Today she can barely put any weight on it and it looks like this. There is definitely swelling and redness in between her toes but I don’t notice a scab there or much puffiness on the bottom of...
Coming here to update. I got the preliminary report back from the necropsy yesterday. Not good news. At all. Aside from a mite and lice infestation I had no clue I had. They found round worms in the bird. The biggie is Marek’s 😢 I’ve not had any of the “classic” Marek symptoms with any of my...
Thank you, I overnighted it yesterday so hopefully they’ll have some preliminary results for me before the weekend. But all these symptoms so far scream mycoplasma to me 🥴
Yes I’m doing morning lunch and dinner dosing for the sick birds. My husband works from home is able to help me with it. The one that recently died I guess I just didn’t notice for a while and went down quickly. I wanted to thin my flock out before I had the baby but Geeze didn’t want it to be...
Thank you 😭😭😭 I am feeling so incredibly overwhelmed with this and my small children and my current pregnancy. So thank you for saying that! Trying to keep my head up but I feel like my luck with my chickens has not been great this year.. Glad things are smooth for you right now. 💓
Symptoms include - swollen eye/s, sometimes shut, gasping for air, shaking head, runny noses and eyes, bubbles in eyes. I’ve had two die. I have six in quarantine that are being dosed. I’m in the process of sending off the last one that died to my state lab for testing. I’m doing tylan 200...
Currently treating my flock for mycoplasma. Every time I turn around someone else is going down. I’ve had two die. Tell me… am I able to put the Tylan in water like you can corid? May not “technically” be right but CAN I? Or am I just going to have to hand dose every bird for the sake of...
I’m assuming the one I found gasping today won’t make it past tonight. Would you recommend a necropsy before I go and buy medication?
yes, I added 5 teenagers about 2.5 weeks ago 😭 it is also possible they’re getting stung. We have lots of bees and wasps on the property.. but would that account...
Ive not noticed any discharge coming from eyes or nose with any of them. Or eye bubbles. So this will kill my whole flock? Is that what you mean by “gone”?
And, I’m sorry, this is yet another respiratory post. I’m just so confused with all the info out there and thought if you guys, more educated than I, heard the other info you could help me. One day last week in the evening my husband brought in my favorite pullet because she was very lethargic...
Husband locking up chickens for the night and found one out outside still. He picked it up to find it acting very lethargic so brought it inside. One eye seems to be swollen shut and it is acting like it is gasping for air. It doesn’t seem like it may last much longer. I can’t speak to how it’s...
I treated everyone but may have done it a day or two shorter than I should have. The smaller chicks do generally stay in their own run but they’re both attached to one big coop they all share. No one new has been introduced. I have Corid on hand so I may just treat in case and send off a fecal...
I have a very wide age range of birds but the stool is small so I’m guessing my 8 week chicks. Everyone is seemingly fine and I did just finish a treatment a few weeks ago. Wondering if I should do it again.
