    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    Hey @Eggcessive and @Hen Pen Jem , no he wasnt vaccinated for Mareks because I hadnt even heard of that when he hatched :( I lost a couple of his siblings to it last year, I was really hoping I was in the clear cause I read somewhere that they usually dont get it after a year old. I havent...

    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    So, update this morning, his physical health is still poor, he's not moving much, I did get him to eat and drink again. but the good: yesterday when I held him I wound up covered in dozens of lice, this morning when I held him I didnt have a single one, so I guess the permethrin did its job so...

    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    Hi @MickWithChicks should I do the dip tomorrow even though I just gave him a dust bath of it today? Im not really seeing any topical ivermectin locally, should I get some of the regular paste?

    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    I was assuming it was lice eggs? He does walk but he doesnt do it very much or very fast I'll have to separate him to that I guess, he hasnt exactly separated himself but he doesnt really interact with them at all its in the 50s at night here

    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    Hi @micstrachan he has gotten noticeably thinner, I know he has been eating though and I got him to eat a bunch after I gave him the permethrin bath earlier by mixing some yogurt with the crumbles. I havent really caught him pooping and i havent seen any preening and I dont think I've ever...

    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    Hey everyone, I've got a 1 year old Rooster that has recently become very weak and has stopped crowing, he was very active and talkative before, his comb has also lost a lot of color. I looked him over today and found what looks to be a bunch of lice and their eggs under his wings. I'm not sure...

    please help: head shaking and head drifting and listless

    Im really not sure, I was told what the rooster was but I forgot and the hens are not all the same I think. The story is my landlord's where I have lived for the last few years have chickens for eggs and every year they get a few fertilized ones from a friend and then they hatch here and become...

    @biophiliac I don't know enough about chickens to know if there is hope at this point or if I'm basically just keeping her on life support :(

    please help: head shaking and head drifting and listless

    I'm not sure if it's relevant but I think all of this has been a long time coming. She is the smallest of the chicks now because she has barely grown in the last month or so and always seemed kind of sleepy. But not enough to seem super abnormal I just assumed she was just the runt since she...

    please help: head shaking and head drifting and listless

    I got home tonight and her food and water were almost completely untouched and she was almost completely catatonic and I thought it was over. But I got a few drops of sugar water in her and a few drops of the solution and then I just let her lay on me for like an hour. Then I put her back with...

    please help: head shaking and head drifting and listless

    I wrapped her up in an old t-shirt and did it earlier this afternoon before I left for work , it's awkward but doable by yourself and she isn't fighting very much seems like she's always trying to sleep, I'm not sure how well I got it in there though I will try it again when I get home from work...

    please help: head shaking and head drifting and listless

    I don't have a vet to take her to at the moment unfortunately :( I might be able to find someone Monday or something. I read about people cleaning out their chickens ears with hydrogen peroxide and Q-tips, how do I do that with a chicken so small? She seems to be doing a little bit of less of...
