    Review by 'Mamawills' in article 'Assisting Call Duck Hatches'

    Thank you so much! I’m halfway through my first call duck hatch and will be referring back to this article. I love the photos and clear explanation. Can I please also double check when you stop turning the eggs if you’re checking internal pip from day 23?

    Hi, we are also in the UK and I’ve noticed the same in our cockerel. Wondered how you got on and if the red skin went back to normal? Many thanks, Erin

    Thank you. Yes only our Polish were affected - so far our other breeds have been ok. It’s encouraging that they may have resistance :)

    Recurring coccidiosis

    I got the results back today and confirmed Mareks 😭 I think I will make sure any new birds added to our flock are vaccinated.

    Recurring coccidiosis

    Update: I was able to find a local vet to do a necropsy yesterday. Sadly, although evidence of coccidiosis, that was secondary as poor girl had very enlarged liver and spleen and inflamed intestines with ulceration. Suspected mareks and waiting to find out results :( Also vet said birds are...

    Recurring coccidiosis

    Thank you for your reply. Yes I treated the area with a product called bi-OO-cyst which is supposed to kill the oocysts and have kept the area as clean as possible. The birds haven't really had an opportunity to build up immunity since the original outbreak as they have to be kept indoors now...

    Recurring coccidiosis

    Thank you for your reply. I received the eggs from a friend - the parents seem healthy and I'm unaware of any underlying health problems. We are in England and I haven't been able to see any coccidiosis vaccines available for backyard poultry. I'll look up about oregano oil - and interesting...

We lost ALL 5 of the birds we hatched last year :( The pattern is: - there was an initial outbreak of coccidiosis (confirmed by worm count). We treated...

    New Point of Lay Hen - Pale/Wattle turned pale .....

    Just read this whole thread as had a very loved young point of lay hen pass away today with very similar symptoms. We’re also in the UK (Hampshire). Very sorry to hear of Ginger’s passing - I was really hoping for a recovery :( Did you ever find out any more what was wrong? Thank you for...

    Swollen chick - ruptured air sac?

    Thank you all for your help. Was able to use a needle and syringe last night and gently inserted under the skin on back by wing (in a big air bubble and could see no veins). Was able to remove the air and chick looking much more like a chick! It’s looking well and eating/drinking this morning so...
