    Rehoming Mareks Carriers

    Unfortunately, my flock have been infected with mareks. The disease has been running its course since August and my chickens have been staying very strong. I've only lost 5/40 to the disease and everyone's quality of life is still up. I was instructed by my vet to put them all down but I just...

    Wazine and Ivermectin

    Can you use wazine and ivermectin on chickens at the same time? I usually ivermectin my flock every year and this year I decided to deepen them once a year too. It'd be easier to do it all at once. Also, are either the medications safe for 1 month old chicks?

    Wazine After Being on Sulfadimethoxine

    I have eight hens possibly affected. Two are particularly very bad. They are lethargic, extremely light weight, and have blood stained loose stool. They are various ages ranging from about 2 months to 6 months. For awhile I thought it was cocci. Now, I'm thinking it is worms. I had been...

    Coccidiosis and Sulfadimethoxine

    I have a coop with eight Silkie hens who I recently bought from a breeder. They had coccidiosis, so I put them on what the breeder who had previously owned them recommended, Sulfadimethoxine. They were on it for 5 days and then I took them off it (that's what the instructions said to do). I...

    Silkie with pendulous crop

    One of my young paint silkies has a pendulous crop. I made her a sling to try to help support her crop, but she can't walk or even hold herself up in it. She freaks out and falls over. Anyone have ideas for treatment? Please help!

    Ohio National: What to expect?

    I plan to go to the Ohio National this year and I was wondering what to expect. I've never shown before at such a high level, so I'm newbie. Depending on how serious the show is, I may either show birds or just go to watch how it works and maybe buy a few birds. If I show, I'm bringing some...

    One of my eggs from under a broody hen just hatched even though she wasn't supposed to hatch til next Thursday (6 days). I definitely didn't get the date wrong and I checked the other eggs by candling and they look on target for around 14 days. There also aren't any hens in the coop with her...

    Day 22 and eggs haven't hatched

    It's day 22 and my eggs still have not hatched. One of them was moving a lot and even rolled across the incubator. However since it rolled, there has been no movement. None of the eggs have external pips and I only saw a one, maybe two move. They were all alive when I put them into lockdown...
