Thank you, that's very reassuring

My pekin pullet Marshmallow is 5 months old, and is ridiculously small compared to 9 month old, smaller than pictures of other Pekins her age, her feathers are dull and she acts like she's depressed all the time. She eats drinks and poops normal. She walks everywhere slowly, except when she has...

2 of my silkies came from a farm that did vaccinate for mareks and cocci, but the ones that died came from a feed store that had no idea if they were or not and dont keep very good records of which chicks came from where, so I'm guessing not. None of the other 6 pullets are showing symptoms, so...

The first symptom I noticed was paralysis, she couldn't move much besides her head, she was eating and drinking on the first day, but lost interest on the second day and died that night, it was very quick

She died last night, she didn't make a sound so I hope she went peacefully. It almost seems the rarer the colour the likelier they are to die, or turn out to be roosters which I can't keep. All I have left are a white and a partridge, I've lost my black, silver, champagne (roo) red (roo) and...

I decided to wait and see, if she was any worse in the morning I was going to take her to the vet to be put down, but she died during the night, she didn't make a sound so I hope she went peacefully

This is the second day of symptoms that I've noticed, she had a little food and water this morning, and I've been dripping water with multivitamin for birds on her beak every hour, she drinks a little of it, I've stopped giving her food as she makes no effort to swallow it and I'm afraid she...

My girl has stopped eating and drinking, and she looks very thin. I don't think she can poop, I picked her up and lots of runny poop just fell out, and there's been nothing since

Thanks, unfortunately she has stopped eating and drinking, and I don't think she can poop, I lifted her up and a lot came running out, and it was mostly liquid. My grandma told me to hit her on the head with a shovel, but I don't think I have it in me

I think my 5 month old silkie has mareks, I found her yesterday hobbling around and falling over a lot, when she sat both of her legs stuck out in front of her. Today she can't move anything but her head :( I've been feeding her weetbix with honey and egg yolk, when the chemist opens I'm going...

She's much worse today, she can hold up her head a little but the rest of her is limp :( she won't eat or drink

She's the loveliest little hen. we lost her buddy, a silver silkie, and a young araucana a week ago, I assumed it was the cold as it happened suddenly overnight. I'm giving her St. John's wort in her water, as it was suggested as a possible "cure" for mareks, although the claim has nothing to...

I don't think she's been vaccinated, but she can move both legs and wings, they don't really look paralysed, though I've never seen it before so I could be wrong. When she starts walking, she almost walks normally, just a bit slow and wobbly, it's when she stops that she falls backward onto her...

I gave her some crumbled egg yolks and honey with weetbix, and she scoffed it down, she's trying really hard to stand up and walk

She's walking mostly on her hocks, and when she sits her legs are stretched out in front, her feet are near her head

My 5 month old silkie pullet isn't walking properly and she had a pasty butt, she can move each leg and wing but when she tries to walk she goes wobbly and falls over, she ate a little food but doesn't seem interested in it. I cleaned up her vent and it doesn't look blocked, what could be wrong?

http://www.hencam.co.uk/hencam_forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=414&page=1 here's the pattern I'm going to use

Will she stay bald, or will the feathers eventually grow back? I've found a pattern for a chicken sweater I'm going to knit up for her when winter rolls around

they're so pretty, the second from the bottom is so shiny! i did notice that Nugget has a much longer tail than all of your girls, and his? legs look thicker, although that could just be the colour making them appear that way

yeah i definitely saw those, some were shiny green ones. such a pity :( but i couldn't possibly keep him once he gets to the 'randy rooster' stage, my poor bantam hens couldn't handle that
