Thank you for your reply :) Yes - I don't think I want to get into a cycle of medicating them constantly so I think I'm just going to let this thing run it's course and see what happens. Maybe the stronger hens will have no problem and natural selection will do it's thing. I will support them...

Argh. More problems with my new flock!! I got 10 pullets in the beginning on January all between 9-12 weeks of age. 5 Golden sexlinks, 3 EE's, and 2 barred rocks. The day after delivery one of the barred rocks appeared droopy, fluffed up, and was keeping one of her eyes closed. I watched...

It's been a couple of weeks and I thought I would give everyone an update. A little back story first :) I got 10 pullets in the beginning of January that were all between 9-12 weeks of age. 5 Golden sexlinks, 3 Easter Eggers, and 2 Barred Rocks. The day after my they were delivered I noticed...

*Tylan - sorry :)

I had a flock of 7 older ladies for 2.5 years before this and never had a single problem with any of them (except a raccoon break in to their coop once)! This is so frustrating :(

Thank you so much for the link. I poured over all the pictures and honestly don't see anything like what she has on her legs. They are pea sized lumps between the knee and the ankle that look pink or the same color as the rest of her leg. The lumps are firm but not hard like bone. One of her...

Well, it's been nearly a week on the Tertacycline and vitamins. Her feathers are all growing back in, she is eating and drinking, and her poop is normal BUT the lumps on her legs are bigger and look painful (pink and swollen). Yesterday and today I gave her legs an epsom soak and then rubbed...

Loose or shedded feather. Autocorrect!

Here you can see both legs. Her right leg has two red, hot and squishy lumps... they are hard to see but they are there. One on the inside of the leg closer to the knee and one on the outside of the ankle. Today I noticed her left leg is also developing a lump below the knee on the inside (you...

So, I just heard back from the breeder and she said they just started vaccinating for Mareks so my pullets have not been vaccinated. I guess this means I should get her tested somehow... otherwise it's more waiting and seeing if she improves with the multivitamins, etc. The breeder suggested...

I asked the breeder/ supplier if she vaccinates for Mareks - we'll see what she says. As far as the feather loss - it's not from mating (I have no roosters) and she is not pulling them out herself. Other members of the flock were pulling her feathers out but they might have been loose...

Thank you guys so much. Yes, I was curious about viral arthritis. I have done some reading up about it but will do more for sure. I started poultry supplement that has B vitamins in it (you add it to their water). Are there direct dosing b -vitamins you guys recommend?

I am so glad to have joined this awesome community of chicken lovers! I've been a back yard chickener for over two years and have always found such great stuff here. I am hoping you guys can help me figure out what's up with my poor birdie. I am desperate for answers to help my EE pullet...

I have her separated now and have for about 5 days. I am feeding her organic chicken grower but have been supplementing with oats, yogurt, garlic, sunflower seeds, and spirulina.
