    Is Marek’s disease killing my chickens? Or something else?

    Who doesn’t? I don’t think my family would appreciate a rotting chicken in the fridge

    Is Marek’s disease killing my chickens? Or something else?

    I’ve had a wethead before, it’s definitely not that... they just drop dead, stretched out.

    Is Marek’s disease killing my chickens? Or something else?

    Hi everyone! Haven’t been on here in a while! I guess that’s a good thing considering that I haven’t been having too many issues. So, I went out of town and came back today and one of my chickens were dead, and had been for a few days. I had a chicken of the same brood of chicks die about 4...

    Rooster acting very weird

    Yes! They are doing fine! I am still keeping them in the dog kennel though, because we began to get a huge abnormal snow storm and all of the hardware stores have been closed, keeping me from buying a heat bulb. I have been letting them out during the day a bit so they can stretch.

    Rooster acting very weird

    He is now, I’ve been giving him (and the others) water and a little bowl of Gatorade for electrolytes, they have all seemed to perk up, but still seem sort of sick. They are all 8 months. I’ll try the yogurt tomorrow! Okay! I was not able to find my heat bulb, so I brought them all inside for...

    Rooster acting very weird

    I fed all of the roosters some food, and gave them some electrolytes, they are much perkier now, so I’m thinking it was the cold, but the rooster with the worst symptoms is now having a lot of brown diarrhea.

    Rooster acting very weird

    Yeah! Well I had a hatched chick (Barred rock) die of paralysis last year, but I think it was from vitamin deficiency, not Mereks. Okay, I’ll work on that, we barely get cold weather like this, it was between 40F-75F all December.

    Rooster acting very weird

    Huh, he is kind of losening up since I brought him in, but he still is in kind of a paralysis. None of my large chickens are acting this way, only my bantam roos and he’s the worst of them. Hopefully it’s just that

    Rooster acting very weird

    hi! I have a Golden Laced Sebright Rooster and he’s very abnormal and neurotic. Today is the coldest day we’ve had, I don’t know if that has had anything to do with it, but he wasn’t acting weird at all until this morning, my two other bantam roosters are acting similar but aren’t as bad. He...

    Not one egg!

    Okay! Thanks! I have noticed they have lost weight. The only reason this has bothered me is because my hens usually go through molting and he lighting transition very quickly, and this year it is a lot slower

    Not one egg!

    I don’t use lights either anymore , because I think that the hens could become too reliant on the artificial heat, and would panic if the bulb were to go out in the middle of a cold night, or they would be thrown off by the natural light timing.

    Help my rooster wont stop attacking me and wont back down

    Well, a stick may be a little hard, with a noodle you can kind of hit him hard enough with out causing any trauma
