    Greetings! I didn't think about a sling. His left leg (or foot) seems to be the problem. Sometimes he'll stand with it lifted. He staggers when he needs to move just a foot or two. Turning is almost impossible. I'd say he is 2/3 sitting, 1/3 standing. Thanks for your concern. He goes into the...

    Here is an update on Mr. Wilcox. He is still alive but not walking. He will stand for maybe 15 minutes tops. His blood was retested and his high white blood cell count has dropped back to the normal range. So that's promising. His Marek's test came back negative (but the vet did warn me that a...

    Well, Mr. Wilcox seems bent on breaking my heart. His spirits are better (he crowed once this morning). He even had a little chat with me. But, his leg is worse. Don't know what else to do but wait. He has antibiotics (via injection) and ibuprofen. His poo tests came back normal (still bright...

    The vet called this morning and said his blood test was "all good" except for a high white cell count. So, infection or disease. Taking him in again for fluids, antibiotics, feeding. He's feeling better and is alert but is still limping.

    Thanks! This has been a tough day. Will post the results when I get them but I'm not feeling too optimistic.

    Oh yes, I brought in two samples. One was like the photo, bright green and fibrous, the other was brown and full of mucus. He seems to get better and then suddenly worse.

    Got Mr. Wilcox into a vet today. He was hydrated, fed, and given some ibuprofen. Waiting for blood test results. My fear is that he has Marek's, he started limping this morning and showed no interest in the special food I've been making him. I'm thinking....all of my beautiful girls will go...

    I soaked his bottom is a warm tub. He just fell asleep and didn't even fight me. His poo is now very bright green.

    Hello Everyone! My Mr.Wilcox did not get up this morning when I went to water and feed. No greeting, no crowing. He seems confused, like, where am I and who are you? He has a clear vent but his tail is down, he has pooped (seems normal to me). He won't eat or drink. He just sits or stands...

    Hen or Rooster?

    Feeling depressed about Mr. Wilcox, the former Mrs. Peepers. It's been about 3 weeks and my new cockerel, Mr. Wilcox, seems to (still) want to annihilate my hens and vice versa. They are in connected but separate pens, and can see each other. Their communication back and forth sounds...not...

    Eating eggs causes cancer?!

    My grandmother grew up on a farm in Iowa with 9 siblings. They ate eggs every morning. She bought a chicken farm as an adult. Ate eggs nearly every day. The only sibling to die of cancer was a smoker. All lived to be in their mid 90's. I don't think I can buy that eggs alone can cause cancer in...

    Hen or Rooster?

    My husband grabs a few in the morning and throws them in the coop (Thunderdome). My chickens aren't free roaming. Too many coyotes here.

    Hen or Rooster?

    Hi, it's 102 here too. We have a sky of clouds and the humidity is horrid. I really miss our old neighbors. I don't know how these two houses were sold without the well agreement. I suspect these people thought that the well water was free when they bought. This kind of behavior is so...

    Hen or Rooster?

    We haven't got the swarm here, as in entire chairs (and such) covered in grasshoppers, but we have way more than usual. At night our stucco is dotted with a variety. Big ones, green ones, brown ones, mini ones, ones that look like they have little horns, not usual for us. We are in the...
