What are the costs associated with the CVIs? Will I need to have one for each animal? Including each of my chickens, or just one for the whole flock?

Hey All, I'm moving out of southern California in about two weeks. One of the many fun parts of my particular career is I don't know where exactly I will be moving to, but I do have it narrowed down a bit. So, I'm expecting to either move to New Mexico, or Minnesota. Yes, I know that's a big...

Yes, but in my experience, all it does is drag out the inevitable.

Every time I have a chicken with this issue, won't stand up, lets me approach and pick her up without resisting, flops over when I put her down, she's dead within 3 or 4 days. I had a turkey with the same issue that I culled. If the powder is added to the water, are the eggs still safe to eat...

I have two pekin's I hatched a few weeks ago. They are about 4 weeks, and are under a heat lamp in a brooder. Temperatures at night have been in the high 20's, and day time temperatures have been in the low to mid 60's. Can they safely be left outside without a heat lamp? Can I put them with my...

@MrsBrooke Everyone is doing well. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me and my flock. We all really appreciate it!

@MrsBrooke I treated for Cocci as you recommended, and haven't lost anyone else. No loss or slow down of egg production either. I have a RIR who looks a bit skinny, and her feathers are a bit damaged, but she is our Barred Rock roo's favorite. @mcbrown7513 So sorry to hear that! When we...

No blood in poop or anywhere else. I will pick some Corid up right away. Are the eggs ok to eat during treatment? If not, how long afterward do we have to wait until they're safe again? Thanks!

I have had several chickens die off over the last several weeks and I'm at a loss. The first one wasn't vaccinated for Marek's, and I believe that's exactly what got her. She was a White Leghorn and died at approximately 9 months after she stopped laying a month prior. She stopped eating...

Well, Google has failed me, again. Can I feed my pet Jenday Conure chicken scratch grains as a treat? I typically feed him Zupreem parrot diet, but was wondering if I can give him a 5 grain scratch as well (TSC.) Thanks!

Should I keep her seperated from the rest of the flock? If I am supposed to keep her seperated, should I plan on reuniting everyone in a week or two, or should she just be kept away?

This morning I found my 25 week old red sex link missing most of her her comb, which was growing in, and a bloody wound on her neck. We arein the middle of establishing a new pecking order. She is the only one who has been injured. I picked her up from someone who is giving her away on...

I just picked up two ducks from some guy who was giving them away. A breeding pair that hatch their own eggs. He had them over a year and didn't have a clue what they were. The dark one is a male, and I believe he is a Cayuga mix. His head and neck are a deep green, the rest of him is...

She seemed to be eating and drinking fine last night when I went to bed at Midnight. When I woke up at 6 this morning she was dead, cold and stiff on the floor of the box. I guess it all became too much for her. I also had to cull my BB White turkey this morning. She wouldn't move, couldn't...

This exact thing happened with my first chicken, a White Leghorn. I was terrified when I noticed it. I withheld food for the night and the next day it was fine. Looked it up here and found that it's just food in her crop and apparently a normal part of being a chicken. But yes, it certainly...

She is showing a definite improvement now with the vitamins, she's feisty again and is eating and drinking as normal. I think I finally figured out the root cause to the vitamin deficiency which lead to wry neck. Apparently, her left leg is broken. I hadn't noticed due to a lack of swelling...

I was planning on getting some Dorkings to breed as meat birds; maybe I'll just do Barred Rocks instead. Not interested in Cornish X. Olive Egger roo will likely meet the butcher block in a few weeks.

Awesome! So at least that has a silver lining. Now to figure out what to do with the other two....
