    Cochin foot feathers encased in mud "stones"

    Thank you for the response. I have never seen mud do that and it was most worrisome. Tending to little Ruby with as much time as it takes to get the caked on mud & sores gone. He is on the back porch in a crate lined with deep shavings for comfort. Not happy, but thankfully ok. Thanks again.

    Cochin foot feathers encased in mud "stones"

    I have looked and looked and can find nothing about this condition & have had banty cochins for years. Embarrassed and feeling negligent in posting this pic, but these are the "stones" with feathers embedded that I cut off my four-year old roo's feet tonight, after noticing the other day that...

Starbuck is about 18 months old, and has lived his entire life with a cochin roo and 14 hens of various breeds. He has always been vocal and quite the studly one, but the last few days, he...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Frizzle was a silkie - about 6 months old. She was the second one, the first was not a silkie and I lost her in August so was feeling pretty set. Then M raised it's ugly head again.

    Sorry to hear about Priscilla. I lost Frizzle today, 12/15. In the week or so I was treating her with SJW and Vit B, she seemed to rally, and then crashed. Although she still peeped in welcome when she heard me in the room, after she stopped eating and drinking, her breathing became shallow and...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Schnebbles, I'm a newbie here and also struggling with Merek's and my only silkie, Frizzle. I thought she was halfway to heaven yesterday, but this morning she popped up and squawked for grub. She drank a quarter cup of water with meds in it and ate some crumble. I'm giving her st. john's wart...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Howdy Everyone, Newbie here with a sick silkie. Waded through some of the pages and didn't locate what I was hoping for specifically, so here's a brief: I have a small multi-breed flock of 10 hens and two roos ranging in age from 6 to 7 months. In mid summer, one of the older hens became ill...
