    Pale comb, sick looking, isolated, rarely moving bird

    Please ignore the above posted questions. I have culled my bird this morning. Her condition was really bad. I needed to come to terms with the reality of what it was. CRD. I do appreciate all of you guys. If you have a bird with microplasm / CRD, my prayers are with you. It cannot be cured. You...

    Pale comb, sick looking, isolated, rarely moving bird

    Today my 3 year old leghorn woke up with 1 eye shut. She can open it, but only if she is startled. She mostly just keeps it shut (even when walking). She is very weak. Yesterday I heard her wheezing when she was asleep. These are familiar symptoms. :( I am now thinking she has CRD. Cronic...

    Pale comb, sick looking, isolated, rarely moving bird

    OK thanks Dawg for putting your thinking and reasoning. I tried to write it as carefully as I could so as to not offend anyone, which is not easy to do. I always want to know why I should do something. If anyone checks my post history they will see I have tried to be nice, helpful, serious, and...

    Pale comb, sick looking, isolated, rarely moving bird

    ...for bright green poop. WHY? Someone else said "green poop means she is not getting any nutrients in her system, she is basically starving." ***? 2 posts later somebody said "Green poop is one of the symptoms of mareks". REALLY? Then somebody says "I would treat her with an antibiotic as its...

    Pale comb, sick looking, isolated, rarely moving bird

    Ok my birds have not been dewormed. I have examined everyone's poop and see no worms. My sick Leghorn has runny poop but there are no worms of any size that i can detect. Right now I have her sitting indoors with me. She sits with her eyes closed all day. It is cold and raining out, I brought...

    Pale comb, sick looking, isolated, rarely moving bird

    Hi folks. I need help. I am worried sick about our white leghorn named "Q-Tip". She is such a fun and sweet bird. Thats her in my avatar. She doesnt look like that anymore. I am not an expert on chicken illnesses. One of our flock died 18 months ago from CRD/Microplasm (it IS contagious) and it...

    HELP need to quickly vitamin treat 2 sick birds

    Alright thanks. FYI so far today I have changed ALL the water sources (including the neighbor's yard) to new, clean water feeders with the directed amount of rooster booster vitamin solution. I also today did give each bird 3-4 superworms that i first rolled/drenched in a water-vitamin paste. I...

    HELP need to quickly vitamin treat 2 sick birds

    Hi folks. I will be really quick. After some research I believe my RIR needs multi vitamins for treatment of a problem that seems like crooked neck (she walks backwards with head tucked and is generally not herself). Also my other sick bird, a leghorn, may be needing them too (she is listless...

    Limping for 3 months, I can't figure it out!

    Hello. Update: as of 2 days ago my hen has started walking almost normally now. I don't understand why, but I am so glad. I just wanted to tell people that this condition can last 3-4 months and still cure itself. I don't know what it was. THANKS PEOPLE> Mike

    Limping for 3 months, I can't figure it out!

    Hi folks. My shy little 2 year old free range Rhode Island Red has been in pain and limping for at least 3 months, maybe more. It started suddenly one morning last summer. She doesn't put wait on her right foot except maybe when walking, then she limps badly. I have inspected her feet and legs...

    Soft Shell eggs every day from 1 bird!

    My little leghorn used to lay perfect eggs every day, for months, no problem. Now she lays an immature soft shell egg every single night. Weird. Somehow she climbs down off the roost in the dark and lays it on the ground. I finally saw her do it last night. These eggs are worthless. You cannot...

    Lizard!

    why not just let the lizard go? Its not like your birds need to have it. Or is it that you really want to see it get killed? Jeffery Dahlmer started like that.

    Dosage for Duramycin/Tetracycline??

    Thank u dawg for posting that link. Basically it is1 tblsp per gallon (for the 800 sized dose). I was making the whole thing at once until I found this post. I believe this product is really helping my Maran right now. Since we started it 3 days ago, her eyes are reduced in swelling and she is...

    HELP Our hen has a swollen eye! Swelled shut, smells like infection

    Today I started anti-biotics for the entire flock again. Nobody else is showing signs, but the 3 waterers are used by all birds. Duramyasin is the name. It goes into the drinking water, its a orange powder. Its an all purpose multi-animal antibiotic. For chickens it claims to treat CRD and MG...

    HELP Our hen has a swollen eye! Swelled shut, smells like infection

    Sadly, our little Maran has become sick with her microplasm again. Her eyes are now both dripping and the one side is swollen again. I don't know what i can do to help, except to keep her comfortable and help her get around. She now has a hard time seeing. Last night we put her up on the perch...

    Do Chickens Mourn ?

    That first story about lil'bit has had me in tears. Maybe some people don't spend as much time with their birds as others? Its obvious to me who is who's "best friend" in my flock. That was a touching story.

    Comment by 'Snack Giver' in item 'New Hampshire'

    Our 2 new hampshires are XXL birds. Sweet disposition, but really shy. They both got bumblefoot last year because they are so heavy that jumping from the top of our first coop caused injury to their foot pads. These birds are huge. Like turkeys. Now we have ladders to everything. They are too...

    no rooster. just let the broody girl be or not?

    Question: what is wrong with just letting my hen sit in the nest all day if she wants? Is there any danger? The other chickens have 2 other nests they use. Its been 3 days since she started this. Our friendly 1 year-old welsummer lets me pull her out of the nest each day and bring her out to...
