    Wonderful photos and sweet sweet story. This is how chicken-raising should always be. A thrill for the whole family.

    Hen keeps falling over

    Marek's is an airborne disease, so if one girl has it, then the other hens have all been exposed as well. It does, unfortunately, sound like Marek's. I think Rita's too young for a first molt. More likely those feathers were plucked by the other hens. Yes, keep her separated. Keep food and water...

    Limping and tail tucking?! Help, please!

    How are they doing now? Better? Worse? It could be Marek's Disease.

    Marek's Survivor

    I now have two Marek's survivors in my flock. Here is the blogpost of Fern's illness and how I'm treating her: http://scratchandpeck.blogspot.com/2012/10/sick-chicken-or-things-we-do-for-love.html I receive so many conflicting opinions on whether the other hens in the flock are at risk. And I...

    Buff Orpington's with their pet cat....

    Awesome photos, Kelly. I love that your daughter's giving them a little sprinkle of dirt. And Caspian -- what a hoot-- and what a beauty.

    No shell, no membrane. Hen is hunched and inactive.

    Thank you, Teach1rus! and Speckledhen --- so... is it eventually fatal? I saw, Speckledhen, that you extracted fluid, and gave other treatments to save your girls, but in the end nothing really worked. Is this a problem that has arisen out of our breeding for rapid production? I lost my...

    No shell, no membrane. Hen is hunched and inactive.

    Daisy was fine the next day, and is doing well today. On further research, I realize it's not Egg Drop because we're in the US, and we don't have that virus here. I don't think it's peritonitis because there's no swelling, she's not walking funny... Today she's chasing bugs, running, bright...

    No shell, no membrane. Hen is hunched and inactive.

    Woah. Thank you. I've never heard of this. We don't have ducks, geese or quail, but this does sound like Daisy's illness. Reading that it's not fatal, and might even go away in 10 weeks, is so reassuring.

    No shell, no membrane. Hen is hunched and inactive.

    Daisy is a 1-year-old RIR. Very healthy and normal until a month ago when she started laying only whites and yolks in the nestbox, no membrane or shell. Sometimes she seemed quiet and uncomfortable as well. But she'd always feel better later in the day. I began giving oyster shell to the...
