Did you ever find out what this chicken died of? I have two chickens with lethargy and red eyes. Shari

Another of my hens has these very red eyes now--one of the older ones. No other symptoms yet, but one of the pullets has been sick for two weeks. I've isolated her and until now none of the others have been infected. She has a bad odor too. Could this be coryza? It's weird because she's 7 months...

Thank you. Just saw this morning that one of my other birds has the very red eyes (around the pupil) that the very sick one has. Whatever it is, looks like it's spreading. Might have to cull the whole flock, clean, disinfect, and start fresh :( What about those very red eyes--does that give a...

Thanks for answering. No cheesy plaques in the mouth. From the APA respiratory diseases site, it looks like LT. That's the only disease that mentions "blood-tinged exudates" and I see traces of blood on the walls in her pen, but don't know where it's coming from. That disease says 7-14 days and...

My pullet has been sick for two weeks. I've isolated her and none of the others have been infected. She has a bad odor too. Could this be coryza? It's weird because she's 7 months old and came down with this. My flock has had no exposure to any other birds or any people who have chickens. In...

Thanks. I just did that. Shari

My barred rock pullet has been sick for well over a week. I isolated her from the flock (in the warm house) as soon as I discovered her eyes matted shut and raspy breathing. Thought it was coryza. None of the other chickens came down with it. She hasn't eaten in all the time I've had her in, nor...

We were home while our small flock ranged in the backyard. It was 10 a.m., a bright sunny day and a fox came over the fence and took our banty. My son heard the chickens, but the fox had her before they even let out a squawk. By the time he ran outside to chase and yell, the fox was on its way...

A fence won't keep foxes out unless it's electric. OUr yard has a five foot high fence that doesn't deter foxes at all. Shari

met a maremma recently and was really taken with him...calm, didn't bark at me, doesn't drool, and owner said he is doing a great job of protecting a large alpaca herd. Can you tell me more about yours? How to keep a white dog clean on a farm?? How big do they get on average? The one I met was...

Apparently the guardian dogs protect from hawks too--or at least deters them--the inteligence of a hawk sensing that large dogs are usually a threat. We'll see. I've had hawks circling above in my yard since I've had chickens. I have a fully enclosed 8 by 8 run in my yard too, but my birds hate...

I just got a 3 month old Maremma after losing our favorite banty to a fox. That was our third fox attack--they roam our suburban neighborhood. Leonardo has a few months before he'll be fending off foxes, but squirrels have stopped coming around and the foxes are clearly on notice. Shari two...
