    Mareks disease?

    I have been doing poultry cell for the last 5 days. What are the chances my other chickens get sick? Everyone is fine now. We are 10 days since they have had any contact with her.

    Mareks disease?

    I got her from a breeder than doesn’t vaccinate for Marek’s. She is a serama. I have been giving her an anti inflammatory, gabapentin in case it was nerve, vitamin b-12 and poultry cell for a week. (I’m a vet tech, so have access) it’s been about 10 days, no other chickens are showing signs...

    Mareks disease?

    My 4 month old chicken presented with knuckling on her left leg a week ago. I took her to work and we crated. Nothing broken and we came up with a plan. A week later she is not improving and it seems to have spread to her other leg. She is still bright and eating and drinking. No diarrhea. I...

    Toe touching serama, please advise!

    I took her to work and did X-rays. No fractures seen. My Dr. was a bit stumped too. We are trying some gabapentin in case it’s neurologic, metacam for inflammation and pain, and b-12 in case she is deficient. Fingers crossed!

    Toe touching serama, please advise!

    Thank you. That’s what I was hoping. I gave her some pain meds and separated her from the rest of the flock for the time being.

    Toe touching serama, please advise!

    We came home from an overnight vacation and our 5 month old serama hen is toe touching on her left foot. I don’t see any obvious signs of injury or breaks and it’s not dangling. She does seem to be trying to put weight on it a little but it’s almost as if her toes aren’t quite right all of a...

    Broken leg

    I have a chick that is 2 weeks old. She somehow got her leg caught in the chicken wire and got out of our enclosure. Her leg is definitely broken. It is dangling and no reflexes when I manipulate it. I am a vet tech and we amputated a chick leg not long ago, but this one needs a little more...

    New silkie mama smothering babies? Help!

    My silkie mama recently hatched two babies. Within two days she had smothered one and one had somehow gotten away from her and got too cold I’m guessing. She just hatched two more and I’m trying to see what would be best. She has a light in a coop with a box to lay in with her babies. Should...

    Help!!! Week old babies are dying!

    These chicks feel cold, but we have had chicks the same way for 8 years and never had a problem. These are the first that we hatched ourselves and didn’t buy from a store.

    Help!!! Week old babies are dying!

    We hatched chicks last Friday and until then they’ve all been doing great. Tonight we found one dead and two that are not doing well. They have plenty of food and water, warmth and I put some chick booster in their water today but that is all that has changed. We are new to hatching our own...
