I have slowly lost most of my chickens this past year to what I believe is Mereks...I am wondering if it is possible to lose a couple hens every few months to the disease? This has been going on for the past year and they all have the same symptoms.They seem fine and then one day I notice a...

I just noticed her feathers are wet and looked at her back and there is a sore where they have been biting her.

3 females and one male. The female muscovy picks at her more than the male

A month or so ago. I just separated them and wihtin a few hours the runner is already starting to bob her head and quack at me again a little :D

I have 2 muscovy that are about 15 weeks old (HUGE) a 2 year old runner and 14 week old runner/pekin mix. Recently I noticed that the runner stopped quacking and seems depressed. She still eats/drinks/forages but instead of acting like her normal bubbly self, ignores me when I talk to her and...

Mine are 100% Muscovy. They are 7 weeks old and the male is HUGE, still has trouble walking despite giving him niacin and poly visol He eats, drinks and swims just has trouble carrying all that weight when he walks!

My goats have eaten huge amount of trumpet vine (the kind with orange/red flowers) for years and have never had any problems. Does anyone know if it is safe to have where ducks could roam?

My male started biting a week ago so I just started paying extra attention and talk to him more and he finally stopped

thanks! I've been adding 1 tbs of brewers yeast per cup of feed, I'll add 2 and see what happens

He's 5 weeks old and has been this way since he was a day old. Giving about 5% ratio of brewer's yeast to the feed and just switched to 18% protein

Does your male have trouble standing? It just seems like his body is so heavy his little legs can't support it for very long. It's chilly out this week or they would be outside all day. I don't feel like they can get enough exercise in the brooder

The one in New Holland

Here are mine at 5 weeks. New Freedom is about an hour from me. I'm in Lancaster County :)

Yep I think they are! My male is getting so huge and he can't support his weight for very long before he lays down. Sometimes his legs even start shaking. I give them brewer's yeast every day but it hasn't helped. He acts normal otherwise and runs around in the yard but takes more rests than the...

The black on the head, and the growth starting on the beak....mine also has some red blotches starting on beak :)

ok, thanks.... he does it when I touch the other one too, opens his mouth at me and then starts biting. lol

the one is a little bigger than the other and not as nice when I take them out. he/she follows my hand and tries to bite me. once outside they are fine...I guess I am to assume that one is a male? the legs seem thicker too

I'm thinking they aren't pekins anymore......maybe Muscovy?

So I'm going to assume my "pekins" are Muscovy????

they are so cute :)
