Sounds like you are trying and maybe do have some issues with this batch. We've been there too, but with turkey poults. It's so hard to know how to treat every thing that comes up. Did you confirm with the hatchery that they did in fact vaccinate for your order? The 1 I order from has it as...

We typically think the same. This disease is very common in wild fowl. Seems hunter's are encouraged to cook to 160° to kill the parasite.. so was wondering how if was received in the back yard world. We always want our flock to be happy and healthy, feel that make for better food when they...

Hi all, we'd love your feedback, having trouble finding much on the web...

I agree with others comments, vitamins, electrolytes are so important in summer. Checking for bumble foot mat be worth while as well, there are MANY good threads and articles on diagnosis and treatment of that staph infection too. Stop any treats, human food, etc for a week or 2, sounds like...

What is your feed regimine? What is nutrient mix on feed bag? Do you feed treats, if so what and how much? What is their housing like, height of roosts, sft of area, etc? Do they have access to outdoors? There are many reasons they could be struggling. I once had 6wk old bird that over ate...

We have a hen with canker that isn't getting better, using copper sulfate and treated flock with 7 days of mix just to be sure. She didn't respond and is spreading in her mouth. We do process our roosters, I don't see anything online to say if it's ok to process and eat chickens that have...

Hi, we have an old hen that's had a reoccurring bumblefoot infection. She's got it again, treating fot 3 weeks now and this time the silver sulphdiazine is not treating the infection. My question is can injectible penicillin treat this type of infection with results? She doesn't lay often any...

Empathize

How many days have she been listless listless not eating, what is summer temps where you are at? These may contribute to her health. We have fowl pox going on too, so I emphasize, it can be scary.

HI, I've been reading threads on using and opinions on no crow collars. It made me give up on asking via a poll what works. We tried 2 varieties, didn't have much luck after several weeks of adjustments and some sewing projects.... 1 roo was pretty successful when he wouldn't pull it off...

All, well we are 4 month on and she hasn't gotten worse - or better so I'm ruling this a crooked spine. We keep her and her 2 Brahma companions separate just in case..... but she and her pose are a hoot in the goat pen where we moved them last month. Now we just have to watch her egg...

oh, and i tried the bachelor coop, look into how far apart they really need to be. We had no luck and kept having to separate fights, 1 death, and endless crowing that irritated the neighbors.......

Its Fabio that is the issue in my opinion, I've faced similar issues and had to re-home the beta Roo. Sometimes you can raise another roo from a chick with an alpha but it depends on the personality of both. Its your choice and if you want the breeding results from Fabio then rehoming your beta...

Hi, We have 1month old Wyandotte, pictured below. Tonight noticed its walking on back legs and feet are turned in. Also in picture. Ideas if this is mareks? Other possible issues? I know she wasn't vaccinated, breeder we got from doesn't do any. Thanks!

Also Nendei asks good questions, pictures of poo goes a long way in diagnosis

Ok with 3 you can observe differences, you aren't wrong, molt stress is HARD some chickens really stress out with molt. I had 1 stop eating this year, had to syringe feed her high protein "shakes" to keep her fed and hydrated. She's fine now. Have you increased their protein ratio, since...

Thank you yes this is some good reading! All conditions could hold some water. I'll get researching. No huge signs of foot or leg deformity Will also try B12. No others show signs of similar conditions in a purchase of 25, so hoping I caught it early and can figure out what it is. She's...

Hey, I'm all in for antibiotics when it's necessary, but your pantry may hold some helpful healing items too without egg withdrawal issues. Or finicky websites Garlic, fresh or powder Ginger and tumeric - same forms Also Cloves, cinnamon, cayenne, dill, rosemary, oregano, thyme. Extra...

You know your folck best, but that doesn't look severe to me. Yeah maybe some dehydration. And many reasons for pale comb good to notice that. Some facts would help, age of bird, is she laying still, any recent additions to flock. How long have you had them. Have you changed nesting...

We have a 17 week old pullet (americana) that hops rather than runs, looks a bit deformed in wing and body shape. Otherwise she's fine, no respiratory or other symptoms. No signs of bumblefoot or other infections. No changes in eyes, no true paralyzed body parts... is mareks progressive or...
