Hi everyone, Ive had some ongoing problems with LT as diagnosed by the state vet, and had been successful in removing infected birds from my flock and then vaccinating new birds. This was months ago and things have been ok. I have had a problem lately which I am concerned about and Im wondering...

Hi- Ive lost a few birds this weekend, and its sort of a mystery to me. They seem to be a little down but nothing much to note, and then they get diarrhea and die. Ive been looking at the couple that seemed sick before just dying suddenly, and there was a little gaping but no big respiratory...

Ive got this Turkey Hen and she has this hard growth on her neck/waddle. Its odd because its sort of where the Tom has all those red bumps around his neck and similar to that...but she never had this before and it seems almost like its a cyst or some growth. Its got some black bruised type areas...

My Tommy lost his mate and I am looking to buy a young hen or two for him, to live here in my flock. He is a mixed breed eastern heritage bird who is around 2 years old and is a yard turkey. I also have a couple of members of my chicken meetup that are interested in thanksgiving poults. Maybe...

My heritage breed tom lost his hen to a predator and he is lonely. I am interested in buying a young hen for him. He is a large eastern mixed heritage breed...looks very much like an eastern wild turkey. Ill pay to ship and I even have boxes which I can send out, so contact me if you have any...

I have 25 Americuanas that I raised over the winter...one is definitely a roo, and a beautiful one at that, but this hen has been whooping and saying Hee Haw all day and evening long for weeks. When she does this she dramatically moves her neck and head as if she is compelled to do this, and she...

I am at my wit's end. I have never had mites till this past winter when we've had strange weather, storms and warm spells, and lots of rain and flooding. My flock hasnt been able to dust bathe as much as possible tho I did treat with DE in their boxes and in their litter. I clean the coop almost...

I just got a box of 25 dead chicks and 2 live ones standing on top. when I called McMurray I was told that apparently the post office has told them they can only ship on Saturdays. So now they hatch on Thurs and Fridays for shipment on Saturdays. The post office wont guarantee express shipping...

Hi All...Ive got a Mille Fleur who has previuously been a very hardy gal. A couple of weeks ago she started to limp. I thought maybe it was mareks because I have had some of that last year, but there is no advance of the symptoms and it really doesnt look like it. She eats and drinks and has...

Hey Everyone! I have been running between my 100 yr old grandfather who has been sick and my teen/birds/home here. A chick hatched around 3 days ago and it had a full split leg splay problem. I used some vet wrap to tie its legs in position and kept it in a critter keeper under the lights. The...

My beautiful runner hen had what seemed to be a peck above her eye. A few days ago it looked like her eyes were running because of this little scab over her right eye. The stuff that ran down her face had hardened and so I tooke her in and I put warm compresses on them and got off what I could...

I finally got the necropsy results back from UConn and the two little birds that died had what looks like Mareks. So, what do I do?...Ive been reading and reading and it appears to me that all chickens have this in some latent form and that it can come up during stress or...? And also that 5% of...

Hi all, I had posted last week about my 2 sick babies and they are both still alive. I am not culling only because I have an ag student coming here from the university extension today and she will take the one dead one and these two up to the vet at UConn to see if I can get necropsy or at least...

I have a showgirl chick who is approximately 16 wks old. The mom has already had more chicks and they all hang together...its very sweet how this one mothers the little babies and how they all huddle together. around a week ago she started closing one eye. I looked at it and it seemed to have a...

Ive got a few problems here this week, not the least of which is this sizzle roo who was SOLD on eggbid but couldnt go to his new home because he suddenly started holding his leg out. He seems fine otherwise and was, up until yesterday, eating and drinking. He has been staying in a laying box...

I have two small rumpless araucana/japanese bantam cross roos that have to go. Im pretty desperate as they are going to get me in trouble with my neighbors....I need to move them. If anyone can take them, they will make very good watchdogs and also will be great for breeding. They like to sit in...

I just did a stage of worming the other day with ivermectin because I lost a chick to worms out of the blue! I knew someone had them and I had used wazine, but I guess it wasnt enough for this weak gal. anyway, ever since I did that this guy has been fluffed. Everyone was pretty low on the...
