    marek's vaccination?

    If you vaccinate for Coccidiosis then you don't feed the medicated feed. If you vaccinate for just the Mareks, then you would feed the medicated feed unless you are going organic.

    Is it Bumblefoot?

    Yes, that is bumblefoot. My Delaware chicken had the same thing in the same place. I took her to my "chicken vet" (specializes in birds & exoctic animals) and she opened it up, got most of the gunk out and put her on antibiotics for about 10 days. We did a culture & it just needed a broad...

    Crop problems?

    Thanks so much everyone. She is resting comfortably for tonight and I will check her first thing in the morning to see if the crop goes down any at night. She doesn't appear to be in any distress right now. When I tried to massage it this evening I actually pushed some of the content right...

    Crop problems?

    Hi, I'm pretty new to the board & chickens, but I have been reading everything I can find on here so I know more about my girls. I have 8, of different breeds, and they were 9 weeks old yesterday. So yesterday I noticed that the Dominique was not as active as usual. She was eating and...
