    Tumor? Infection? Chicken can’t stand or stay upright.

    Is that what a mereks tumor would look like? It’s leaking a little and the feathers were matted to it

    Tumor? Infection? Chicken can’t stand or stay upright.

    My 2 year old silkie is sick with a few different symptoms. I noticed a few weeks ago she was wobbly. I brought her inside and fed her vitamins for a few days. On the second day she got worse having a hard time standing, but the very next day she was almost back to normal. I kept her inside...

    Help! Chicken Has Every Symptom Imaginable - I'm so lost! Cocci? Worms? Mareks? Sour Crop?

    Update... just ran fecal to vet. They centrifuged and no parasites, no cocci, no worms. I guess that is good, but now I'm stumped. We did put her out in a segregated section of coop. She definitely gets depressed being in the house. She's more upright now and moving around, still unsteady...

    Help! Chicken Has Every Symptom Imaginable - I'm so lost! Cocci? Worms? Mareks? Sour Crop?

    I have a Silkie Hen, roughly 3 years old. I cam home last Thursday evening and happened to go in the coop and noticed she was in the broody spot, but she had her head cocked back looking at me funny. I picked her up and set her down and she stumbled around. Using her wings to stabilize, but...

    Injured/attacked Chicken... one week later still not eating

    Wyorp Rock, it has now been 9 days since she was attacked. I plan to continue feeding her, as long as she's not eating. My question is more when do I decide she's only getting marginally better and the more humane thing to do Would be to cull her.

    Injured/attacked Chicken... one week later still not eating

    It's sold at tractor supply or most local feed stores. It's an anteseptic and the blue color I think stops others from pecking the wound (which they will do if they see it). I've had great luck with it, although it stains pretty bad.

    Injured/attacked Chicken... one week later still not eating

    We had a Silkie get attacked by a dog. When I found her I thought she was dead for sure. I picked her up and she barely moved. I immediately cleaned her up and put blue lotion on her injuries. He neck is open in the back and showing the muscle the whole length of it. Her butt has a...

    Fly Stike - Listless but Alive - When to use antibiotics?

    I found one of my pullets slumped over behind the food bowl this morning and picked her up to see what was wrong. Discovered fly strike. Had never heard of it until today, but a quick search tells me its a common chicken disease/injury. Without know what to do, after going in and reading all...

    Nearly Drowned Chicken, recovered, but which antibiotics should I start for preventing pneumonia ?

    My husband left the chickens out (silkies) because I would be home within the hour. I pulled in and saw my silkie floating lifeless in the pool. I ran and grabbed her out and she was nearly dead from what I could tell. I spent the entire evening getting her warm and dry. Turned her upside...

    Silkie color genetics

    Quote: Sonoran Silkies, what do you look for in a partridge chick to tell gender? We just hatched our first partridge chick, and I'm excited to know more about this one...especially since I have no idea how we got this color. We are just backyard chicken enthusiast, and aren't concerned with...

    Is this normal

    I think this is day 21. It is Houston, so humidity is pretty high. Hopefully I can still do something to save this baby. Its our only black one. In better news...one of its sisters.. ( we are willing her to be a girl)

    Is this normal

    do I need to do anything? Is it too late? I can't tell if its moving, I only lift mom up for seconds to take the picture.

    Is this normal

    Dad is a black Silkie, so it looks like a little black baby. I hate to intervene, but I'm worried with that much exposed membrane that it will dry up. I read the membrane will be white and will turn yellow when it dries, but it doesn't look like either? The egg is outdoors in Houston (heat).

    Is this normal

    This is my first hatching experience and we have had 3 hatch, but this one is still in the shell, but it looks like the membrane is still covering it. Is this normal looking?

    Silkie Chick with Swollen Foot/Toe

    I have a 5 week old silkie chick that has a swollen toe. The toe is the outermost one, and its so swollen it has caused the toe to curl under the foot (pictures below). Any Ideas? Ideas on what to do? It almost looks like the feather is the root of the problem? Could this be any type of...

    3 Week Old Chick - Breathing Heavy, sneezing, and a small amount of Bubbles in one Eye

    Hi all. I think I know the answer to my question but I want to hear all my options and ideas of what it could be. I made the mistake of getting some Silkie chicks from a person that I don't know much about. He did state they came from Ideal Poultry and then he re-sells them. I have one...
