I've fallen in love with them and was hoping to get chicks from a breeder. I can be patient for spring hatches and would like to see images of the breeders.

Thank you for the quick response! That’s very interesting, I’ve read a lot about it but I was very curious about how chicks who had been infected in egg would then do once hatched, if it were possible they might show no symptoms and simply carry on. I have read it’s about a 10% chance of it...

I’ve searched and maybe I’m not using the right words but I can’t find an answer. Do chicks of hens who carry mg and are then infected through the egg always die soon after hatch or is there a possibility they too could simply be carriers and show no symptoms until much later(weeks or months)?

It was not an easy decision but anything we felt couldn’t be easily sanitized was just too much of a risk. As an update, only one of the eggs hatched and was immediately put into quarantine. Unfortunately on day seven the chick stopped eating and passed overnight even with attempts to help...

Oh no, I feel terrible. Our options for feed were limited, if it’s this would supplementing their diet help any? We were absolutely not planning to eat them.

It feels like they always walked this way, but it didn’t seem any different than videos we’d watched of them. I’ll include a picture of two of them. We recently put them on DuMOR Poultry Grower/Finisher 15%, but before that it was starter 24%. The majority of the faverolles are two and a half...

Yes, we’ve now discussed possibly lowering the roosting bar and adjusting their ramp. There are three bantams in with them waiting for their own coop who aren’t showing any problems walking, and even before now we noticed the faverolles almost walk on their tip toes, almost delicately. We’re...

We took the one with the worst issue to a vet that was willing to see chickens. They found no signs of respiratory distress or infection and inspected the weak leg and found swelling in the hip. They felt it was just an injury and gave us meds to settle inflammation. We’re going to keep her...

I have two salmon faverolle pullets who we’ve noticed today were unstable on their feet, not wanting to put weight on one leg but otherwise behaving normally. At first we noticed the one and thought it was simply a slipped tendon, but upon noticing the second bird also limping we were concerned...

Thank you this was good information. It appeared to be respiratory and then possibly a secondary infection which caused other symptoms in some of the chicks. We burned almost everything they had come in contact with or heavily sanitized it including the room they were in.

My family unfortunately bought sick chicks and after doing everything we could to treat them we were forced to cull them after several could not kick what appeared to be respiratory illness and several others developed concerning symptoms that spread and threatened the biosecurity of our...
