    Storing a dead chicken for necropsy?

    One of my 13 week old pullets just died. Rather suddenly, and I want to take her to the Georgia Poultry Lab for necropsy Monday morning when they open. How can I store her until then? I can't freeze her because it will dramatically limit the testing that can be done during the necropsy but I'm...

    Cocci questions!

    If a flock has been treated with corid, can they still get cocci? Does it hurt in any way to treat them again? If they are on medicated feed, do I need to stop giving them medicated feed after a round of corid? Does this look like a bloody stool? (hard to see, the stool itself didn't look...

    Just for S&G - Silkie roo or pullet?

    Uggggggh, I think our white silkie is a roo. He/She is about 10 weeks and it's getting what look like streamers? Not the nice round puff on the head.. It's also ALWAYS on high alert, and at the top of the pecking order. It chest bumps with the black one that I also think is a roo. It never...

    Antibiotic question - second round?

She started to act sick around 1 week, eyes closed, squinting, and sleepy but no other symptoms, no drainage, nothing. I treated my flock with corid...

I had some tylan 50 from TSC on hand for another chick that was sick with something else (sheesh) and read that this could treat enteritis as well. The...

    My 6 week old baby chicks are dying and I'm clueless - could really use help!

    In a nutshell, I got 6 chicks that were approximately 1-2 weeks old. One started to look sick about a week after I got her and she still isn't great, but she's not my immediate concern. (just an FYI - when she started to seem sick, I treated the flock with corid for 7 days as I was worried they...

    4 week old baby chick squinting and closing eyes

    Hello! I'm new to having chickens and could use a little help. I have a 4 week old lavender orphington who, over the last two weeks, has been keeping her eyes mainly closed. She will occasionally squint them when eating and moving about but in general, she's keeping them closed. She seems a...
