    Confirmed Marek's flock, what now

    Lice killing chickens?

    Do lice infestations often kill chickens? I'm getting mixed answers online. I have a chicken right now who has lice on her so I brought her inside and treated her with elector psp yesterday. Today she's very lethargic and barely moves when I touch her and won't eat or drink. I tried...

    Graphic, autopsied chicken growth

    Failure to thrive

    Hello, Looking for some advice on what is going on with my goslings. I've done 3 hatches now in my incubators, and each time I've gotten at least 1 gosling who is smaller than the others. It hangs on for about 2 weeks, but barely grows, and then it dies. At first they act pretty normal and...

    Breed question

    Hello, I bought some chicks from farm and fleet back in April and was told they were cinnamon queens. However, now that they're grown they don't have single combs so I don't think it's correct. Any idea what this girl is? Pictures are at 1 day, ~2 months, and 7 months.
