    Marek's disease in young chicks

    I would get a necropsy done on one of the birds who have died, so you can be sure what you are dealing with here. I had one chick die of Mareks and my other vaccinated chicks (now hens) did not get it. Good luck with this. It's a very difficult disease to go through.

    Flock with probable MG infection... how to proceed?

    A couple months ago, I introduced some seemingly healthy 6 week old chicks into the flock. One week later, one of my hens came down with a pretty severe case of Mycoplasma. I know it was/is Mycoplasma, as I took her to the bird vet for testing. I used Tetracyline (Duramycin) from the feed...

    head pecked

    My pullet suffered severe head pecking injury about 7 weeks ago. We actually thought she was dead. She spent four plus weeks in the house healing, with a topical antibiotic (no pain killer in the antibiotic) and some blu-cote, as well. This pullet (then chick) had the skin completely pecked...

    Chick's head pecked to the bone!!!

    My chick lost its scalp to head pecking one month ago. It is now almost healed with just a teeny scab on the head. No feathers have grown back. The problem hen is no longer with us (we put her in another part of the yard fenced away from others and she disappeared). However, this chick's...

    Pullets with gargling noises and runny noses

    I recently had a hen with gurgling, runny nose and foamy/bubbly eyes. I took her to the bird vet and had her tested (wanted to know what disesase was in my flock). Turns out she had mycoplasma. I kept her separate from the flock for two weeks and gave her antibiotics. After two weeks, she...

    Respiratory illness

    My hen just went through a bout of chicken respiratory illness - Mycoplasma. My bird vet wanted me to stick with tetracycline, so we could leave the other antibiotics in reserve, should this disease rise its ugly head again in the flock. I just used the tetracycline bought at the food store...

    Duramycin-10 HELP PLEASE!!!

    I just finished a two week course of Duramycin-10. My bird vet did some research to find out how long until we could consume eggs and I was told that I needed to wait 30 days. I had to wait a week to get this info, so it's supposedly "official."

    New Coop with Rollout Nest Boxes

    After a month of trying to convince my husband and son to build some roll out nest boxes, I finally went back to Cael Kendall at Laughing Chickens (www.laughingchickens.com) in Mill Valley, CA to get help. He was super helpful and modified his coop to custom design some roll away nest boxes for...

    Bubbles in the eyes?

    My hen suffered from foamy eyes and gurgling/sneezing a few weeks ago. Took her to the birrd vet and after testing we learned she had mycoplasma. I separated her from the flock at first sign of symptoms and treated her for two weeks with tetracycline purchased at the feed store. After two...

    Chick's head pecked to the bone!!!

    I've got another scalpless chick. I've been treating her two weeks with topical antibiotics and she's healing quite nicely, though living separate from the other chicks and hens. The bird vet told me to be sure to use topical antibiotics that did not have any pain killers in them - as those...

    SICK CHICKEN: Eye closed

    My Welsummer was given the OK by the vet to go back to the coop with the rest of the flock this Saturday. So she's done with her antibiotics and back outside with the rest of the ladies. I was told that this isn't something that we've cured, but rather an illness that we are managing. So far...

    Australorp attacked chick

    Just wanted to report in that the chick is doing very well. She still has no skin on the top of her head, but her general health is very good and the vet said she was on track in terms of progress. Will be at least another two weeks that she needs to stay away from the others through...

    Looking to brainstorm a solution (other than culling) a young hen with no skin over her scull

    Yes, these chickens are resilient. We found my chick in the corner of the coop with the Astralorp hen who attacked her. I thought she was dead and we actually were going to the coop to get her and dispose of her. She raised her head and we realized she was still alive. By the next morning...

    Looking to brainstorm a solution (other than culling) a young hen with no skin over her scull

    Oh my gosh! This is exactly the injury my 8 week chick suffered two days ago. I will be happy when she looks as good as your hen. :) Questions: When did you/have you introduced hen back into flock? What did you do with aggressor? I have an injured chick and a hen in jail right now. So...

    Australorp attacked chick

    Went to the bird vet. He cleaned the injury and gave me topical antibiotics. She's very active and eating, so I'm saying positive. Astralorp outside of chicken yard on other side of fence. Keeping her there for now and she'll sleep alone in she'd until I figure out what to do. Basically chicks...

    Mycoplasma Gallisepticum / CRD / Respiratory (gurgling/rales when breathing; no other symptoms)

    So, my Welsummer came back with positive results for Mycoplasma as well. She is seemingly healthy, eating, laying, but still gurgling. Dr said to keep her on tetracycline for another week. Wants to keep other antibiotics available to treat the flock should this issue hit the flock again. Other...
