    Marek’s in pullet. Next step?

    I have a Brahma pullet that seems to be suffering from Marek’s. One eye seems cloudy, but her pupil is misshapen. She’s also acting kind of lethargic though, she still moves around and eats. I’m wondering what my next step should be. I’ve heard that they can live through the paralysis and...

    Silver duckwing OEGB sexing at 4 weeks

    So, these chicks hatched 2 days shy of 4 weeks ago. Their chest feathers are coming in and one has the autosomal red on her(?) breast, while the other doesn’t. I’m almost positive that the autosomal red is a pullet and the other (with his red comb that’s getting bigger) is a roo. My confusion, i...

    Injured leg on 2-3 day old chick

    I have a chick that hatched last Thursday(?), as far as I know, it didn’t hatch with the injury. There was a point where it got pinned between the feeder and the side of the brooder for who know how long.

    Help!! Chicken with a hole in it’s neck!

    I wasn’t the one who found our golden comet hen, but she had her head stuck in a feeder, for who knows how long, and the other hens felt the need to cannibalize her. She wasn’t moving much but is now standing upright in a low standing position. I’m worried about infection and keeping it clean...

    Light Brahma has blue eyes. Possibly not Marek’s (hopefully)

    As the title says, I have a chicken that I think naturally has blue eyes (picture 1). For a back story, she is a 1 year old Light Brahma hen from Cackle Hatchery (known for giving the vaccine for Marek’s). All her other coop mates have normal eye color and come from TSC, so they “should” be...
