We have a sick hen. Shes still eating scrambled eggs and stuff. Drinks a lot. But is skinny and cant really walk. She keeps her legs apart and tries to wobble. And she tries to sit straight up for some reason. If this is mareks, is there anything I can do?
That is sad. Even though they are just baby chicks that the company just marks down a loss, the poor things suffered alone in a box and died. Each chick has its own special personality I think. I got my pet rooster from meyer hatchery but we drove an hour there to get it. They showed me a tub...

Hello, I dont have a whole lot of chicken knowledge. I rescued a baby one day old bantam so he wouldnt be killed about two years ago. He stayed in the house in a large cage for the first 6 months but now he has a bed on the breezeway. The door gets opened every morning around 7 and closed at...
