    please help - broken wing? or Marek's?

    I've posted already but didn't get any response, so trying again…. 3 month old pullet has been having trouble walking the past week, with one wing hanging down so low she trips on it. Today i found her twice on her side/back unable to get up. I bought some vet tape and tried taping the bad wing...

    pullet with hanging wing

    One of my 10 week old pullets has a wing hanging down, so much that she trips over it and has developed a sort of hopping method to get along quickly. I've tried looking at it, but don't see anything (but don't know what I'm looking for). Any thoughts or tips?

    bad beak injury - down to bone

    Two of my 10 week old "hens" ended up being roosters, one of which had been held back inside while recovering from coccidiosis… when reintroducing them to the flock it didn't go well. I had the 2 sickly/smaller ones separated, and one is a rooster and was fighting through the cage bars, doing...

    help! Is this a rooster?

    I'm back AGAIN hoping for some expert advice! I concluded that a 9 week old from a batch of 5 is a rooster, and now I fear that another one in the group is also a rooster. I had one die from coccidiasis and have had 2 held back inside because they're half the size from being sick. I've been...

    is this a rooster / cockerel? A cream leg bar or a barnvelder?

    I have two two-month old chicks in an indoor infirmary, because they were half the size of the others after a bout with cochidiasis (or however you spell that horror). The one suddenly started growing a comb and waddles pretty fast, and tends to peck and jump on the other, so I have a bad...

    coccidosis stunted growth?

    I've had a problem with what I assume is coccidosis with my young chicks…. I lost one of the 6 chicks after a few weeks, and then stepped up the dose of Corid - thank god for the info on these forums! AFter the one died, two others started showing similar symptoms - slower, heads pulled in, and...

    I fed medicated feed to vaccinated chicks - now what?

    I just did another post, as I have 6 chicks about 2 weeks old and one isn't doing well, suspected coccidia. They were vaccinated and I've been feeding medicated feed, and on here it says that will void the vaccination. So now what? Switch to unmedicated? Treat them for coccidia? Only one is...

    help! One chick sleeping a lot, not growing - sick?

    I bought 6 chicks from a local breeder (all vaccinated and a few days old) 10 days ago, and one of them doesn't seem to be doing well. She was always a little smaller than the others, but now I'm noticing an even bigger difference in size, and her feathers aren't coming in like the others' are...
