I have lost several birds over the last few years but non with "typical" mareks symptoms. No paralysis etc. She is 2 years old. I got her as a chick. She is vaccinated from mareks. I did poultry cell for a few weeks and vit b for about a week and a half. Her toes only curve in a little...
I'm not sure of her laying. She squats like she should be but I have 2 other EE so not sure. Weight is the same. I have weighed her several times. She's thinner than the other 2 though. No swelling in the abdomin I have checked her for that many times. Not walking like egg bound. No water...
I am still having trouble with this chicken. She sits on her haunches all the time. She will get up and walk around with the chickens but her legs seem weak. Not limping when walking but walking slow. If she tries to run she will limp a little. This has been going on a for several months...
Should I add all those vitamins to the 2cc poultry cell im already giving? I know it has the B's in it. She's pooping ok and eating when I give her the mix I described. Crop is fine. I dint see any mites or lice. I did treat with ivermectin on the back of her neck just in case. The calcium...
Ok. I have been mixing her feed with water and some vitamins and some peanutbutter for protein and fat. She will eat 1/3 cup like crazy. No loss of appetite. When I pick her up and push my hands against her feet she won't resist. My other chickens push back with their feet. But she will...
Thank you!! I will keep trying. I appreciate it. I have dealt with a lot of other issues with chickens but this is new. I will try to monitor her weight too
No one is laying a lot due to winter but this has been about 3 weeks so I dint think it's that. When she walks and stands it's a normal stance. She just looks like she gets tired and sits down. When I go outside to check on them she is sitting like this but will get up and walk normal.
I have a chicken that is about 3 years old and she's been sitting back on her haunches.A lot lately. She's eating fine walking fine and seems to be doing okay other than that. It's just like she is a little weak or tired. I have treated her with ivermectin pour on. A few drops to the back of...
I know there are a lot of threads about bumblefoot but I cannot get this one to heal. I have a hen that is a little over a year old. She got bumblefoot in both feet. I started soaking and trying to get out a ke.rnel several months ago. There was never a kernel that I could find but always...
I have a 3 year old sex link that is loosing weight. I have 14 chickens and work so I am not around to watch how much she is eating but if I put her in a crate and wer her food down and mix like soft cat food in it she eats. She will eat if I put out grubs or scratch etc. She does stand...
yes they start with a little dirty feathers and as it gets worse they start acting sick and puffed up. and walking funny. Would the antibiotics help the vent gleet? Because they do get better with a treatment. I have dealt with several different things with the chickens but I cannot figure...
Yes I worm them twice a year poo looks white and mucusy, the feed has calcium and I provide oyster shell. And feed looks really good. The feel good weight wise. I have 13 total. the leghorns I have had for 2.5 years. the sex links about 2 years. The others I got from whiting farms last fall...
I was doing different bag feeds but have had them on a bulk feed from my local co-op since september. What else would it be with the firm swollen belly and the antibiotics causing the belly to go down? Then it coming back after several weeks? Do I need to worry about it with my other chickens...
