    Drained ascites, now a few questions

    I drained 200ml of fluid from Scarlet who is 3 1/2 years old RIR with water belly, a very purple comb, and weak (happened very fast - water belly could have been going on for some time, but her comb was fine and she was pecking around as normal and then suddenly she was weak with a purple comb)...

    I had some chicks shipped in order to get Mareks vaccinated ones, 1 of the 7 instantly seemed to have issues on arrival: weaker, one leg way out to side, could stand and walk but very wobbly. Leg seemed to just go out to the side more when trying to get comfortable under heat plate. Didn’t...

    Help I killed my chicken! Aspiration? (and Marek's problems)

    I believe I have Marek's in my flock, and to preface this - there is not a good chicken vet where I live. I am considering sending the next body to a lab in another state for testing, but my chickens are beloved pets and I just have a hard time with that idea. What I'd like advice on here is...

    Found this today! Weirdest thing yet! The glob has multiple segments, seems like one popped at the end… the rest of the glob is filled with clear fluid. Any idea what this is?

    Poll: To reintroduce to flock or not? (Mereks issue)

    I have an Easter Egger, Easter Miracle, I've posted about on here before about. She came down with something like Mereks when she was 2-3 months old, paralyzed legs etc. and by some miracle over 4 months I nursed her back to health. Today she is still separated from the flock, but is laying...

    My Easter Egger chick, Easter, starting limping around 7/8 weeks old. She was vaccinated for Mereks but was around two non-vaccinated birds at a week old. I separated her from the flock when she started limping (she's a house chicken now). Remaining 6 chickens healthy no issues. Early on I...

    Sex of Columbian Wyandotte? 8 weeks

    Hi! I’m really hoping “Maggie”, my almost 8 week old Columbian Wyandotte, is a girl but starting to get really worried as waddle and comb way more prominent and redder than other hens...she has also been super late to feather out compared to others (buffs, Cochins, barred rock and EE) and still...
