    How do I vaccinate for Marek’s?

    Tha That make sense! I’ll look into getting two bottles to vaccinate each clutch separately. I appreciate the guidance!!

    How do I vaccinate for Marek’s?

    This makes a lot of sense! I have one clutch hatching a good week before the rest of them. I wonder if waiting a week before vaccinating the first chicks would be too long. :confused:

    How do I vaccinate for Marek’s?

    I think she meant that as a live virus vaccine, it has a limited viability after it’s prepared. Not sure though, since I’ve never done this before, so any advice is appreciated!

    Hi Angeline, yes we’re in Cali and right across the bay from your MIL in Morro Bay!

    How do I vaccinate for Marek’s?

    We are incubating Modern Game, American Game, and Silkie eggs and I would like to vaccinate for Marek’s when the new chicks emerge. Our local vet does not vaccinate chicks, but she recommended that I can order the vaccine online. Problem is that apparently the vaccine is only good for about an...

    Horrible prolapse

    Just wanted to post a quick update, Pearl is still doing great and has had no further problems so far! I now think that it was her very first egg that she couldn't pass, and I'm hopeful that she'll be ok from here on out. Here's a pic of my sweet girl!

    Chicken Breed Focus - d'Uccle bantams

    We are new to this breed! Just brought home two young hens on Sunday for my daughter to train for show in 4-H. They are adorable, and so sweet! Don't have any good pictures yet, but I'll post when I do. Right now they're laying fertile eggs so we're collecting them, and set our first clutch last...

    Horrible prolapse

    Great news! The vet was able to see Pearl today and found she was egg-bound. She removed the egg and cleaned her up, corrected the prolapse and put in two staples to hold things in place while she heals. She gave me an anti-inflammatory and antibiotics to give her, and wants to see her back next...

    Horrible prolapse

    Hi friends. My beloved 8-month old whit Silkie, Pearl, has suffered a really bad prolapse. After bathing her carefully and trying to correct the prolapse manually with preparation H to no avail, I have one last hope in our local vet tomorrow morning. Please hold good thoughts for her, because...

    Chick with paralyzed toes

    Things are looking up for my little curly toed chick, who we've named Lucille. Her two biggest toes still curve in toward her body but I've felt her move them, and the foot is growing stronger! Overall she seems much more vibrant and active. I've been giving her b-vitamins twice daily for five...

    Chick with paralyzed toes

    I'm pretty sure it's curled toe paralysis we're looking at here. I'm grateful it only seems to have effected one chick, and only one foot at that. http://www.thepoultrysite.com/publications/6/diseases-of-poultry/217/vitamin-b2-deficiency/...

    Chick with paralyzed toes

    Thank you so much for your advice! Sure enough, most of the scrambled egg was gone today so I made them another one for dinner. I got the vitamins today and I mixed up a batch for them tonight, little curly toes really quenched on it which was so good to see. She's hanging in there, but seems...

    Chick with paralyzed toes

    Sorry this is a terrible picture but it's the best one I could get. I gave the chicks some scrambled eggs for dinner but they weren't interested - just wanted to nap. Maybe my little curly toed one will eat some of the eggs for a midnight snack. I'm also going to get some liquid vitamin as soon...

    Chick with paralyzed toes

    YES - similar to that! I'll try to get a photo tonight. Could this be curly toe paralysis?

    Chick with paralyzed toes

    The two toes in front are kind of curled under, and the smallest toes in back aren't really moving. Baby in question seems to be able to move around just fine at this point, but I'm still worried, because I'm anxious like that...

    Chick with paralyzed toes

    We have four-day-old silkie chicks, and the littlest one seems to be having trouble with one foot. The two longed toes are curled under as though it can't straighten them. And the smallest toe seems unresponsive, as though it could be paralyzed. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice for me? I'm...

    Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Help! My four-month-old polish hens have poultry lice in their crests! I just scrubbed the entire coop down, sprayed with pyrethrin, dusted with DE, put down fresh bedding, and sprayed all the birds with pyrethrin too. I felt horrible holding them down and spraying them with it, when I was...

    Silkie thread!

    Just bought our first silkie chicks today, four hatched out yesterday and one just last night! Hope I can keep them all thriving, they are so sweet and adorable. Advertised as lavender silkies, I think some of them may turn out to be splash? Only time will tell. More pics to come!

    What parasite is this?

    Yeah, he's definitely been molting a bit, growing in his big bird feathers! But these look like eggs, tiny like grains of salt, and stuck in the fluffy part of the feathers around his face. This is not the dust/particles from feather sheaths, though he does have some of that going on too!

    What parasite is this?

    My young roo has what look like tiny white eggs stuck to the base of the feathers around his face... Sorry the picture isn't better, but you can kind of see what I'm talking about near his wattles. Any ideas what this could be, and how I should treat it? TIA!!
