    Sodium Butyrate for Marek’s Lymphoma

    After receiving confirmation via necropsy report from UC Davis that the two hens I recently lost both had visceral Marek’s, I had posted over in Managing Your Flock regarding some logistical and planning questions. But my follow up questions bordered on the medical so am touching down here with...

    Confirmed Marek’s. Moving forward.

    I’ve found wonderful guidance from the BYC members so far in my very short chicken journey. Now I find myself in a group I was hoping to not join. We had a very small flock (1 polish roo who showed up one day in September last year and started this journey for us) and the three BAs I got for...

    Should I change plans regarding new pullets?

    I have 4 pullets coming 10 weeks that I’ve been growing out, using my 3 horse slant trailer with stall panels removed as their coop. We set up a makeshift run off the back using dog run panels. It’s been a nice set up, easy to clean and they have a ton of room inside when we aren’t around to...

    Hen- watery poop x 1 week and not feeling 100%

    10 month australorp presenting with watery poop for about a week now. It took me a bit to figure out who it was, but I was finding loose poop under the roost and wet spots (not cecal) in the shavings and run.

    Brand New Pullet NQR

    We picked up 3 new blue australorp pullets this afternoon. I noticed one of them was a little squinty when they placed her in our crate. It was a 40 minute drive home and once I got them set up in our quarantine space, I observed she was off. Little wobbly but not 100%, was eating but almost...

    Wobbly Hen-Injury or Mareks (or ?)

    This is my head hen George (the Regina is silent). This morning she didn’t fly off the roost like normal, she took the stairs. Now it seems like she is unstable on her feet. All vitals appear normal, she is eating and pooping fine. Randomly favoring her right side and her wing isn’t lying tight...

    Eye Defect or something else?

    Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. Hoping for some feedback to help us manage this issue. We have a 7 month old Australorp hen who has what I am assuming are bilateral nictitating membrane defects. Has not come into lay yet. She came to us as a 16 week pullet this way. Her membranes...
