    Is Mareks passed genetically?

    Bird died, unusual symptoms

    Yes and I am well stocked on rooster booster plus k and nutri-drench as a result of that research. But now I am scared that it may be mareks causing neurological issues. Mareks would explain the blind bird. Im praying it’s not Mareks. If it is I’ll have to permanently quarantine all of my birds...

    Bird died, unusual symptoms

    Possibly. My most recent clutches that I hatched from my free roaming birds, who share a general area with my coop birds, birthed a blind bird and a bird that periodically suffers from wry neck. Our turkey tom also developed a neck issue and sometimes walks backwards in circles. All this time I...

    Bird died, unusual symptoms

    I thought about it. I can’t afford it. I gave as respectful of a burial as I could far away from the other birds and wrapped in multiple plastic bags.

    Bird died, unusual symptoms

    So I had a bird, buff silky, die tonight. I found her in the coop two days ago laying in the middle of the run allowing herself to be trampled. This seemed odd as she was acting perfectly healthy the day before. I brought her inside and set her up in a rubbermaid tub for observation and rest...

    Bird randomly and instantly went blind

    I can’t for fact say ‘perfectly well’ for the simple fact that I cannot verify whether she did or did not have issues that may or may not have been progressive. Bit I can say that before yesterday she was acting like a perfectly normal chicken.

    Bird randomly and instantly went blind

    One of our newest pullets started freaking out when we walked in. Wouldn’t fly, acting irrationally. Immediately ran in my wife’s general direction when she started talking. When my wife picked her up she calmed down and just layer on her chest. Then she wouldn’t get off. I started to examine...

    My first chicken blood transfusion! Success :)

    Chickens have 13 different blood types. I was just researching this and that is how I came across this thread lol.

    Dehydrated food for chickens??? Can they eat this?

    That is exactly why I am so on the fence about it. I think I’ll just toss it and save the jars.

    I WON!!!

    Get a Gilly suit and a Ruger 10-22 with a thermal optic. Lay in the same spot with a good vantage point every night all night and just let them have it with some cci mini mags. Those that survive will get the picture real quick.

    Dehydrated food for chickens??? Can they eat this?

    Ok, aside from the obvious fact that all store bought chicken feed is dehydrated, can I feed this to my birds? my mom went through a bit of a prepper-phase and dehydrated a BUNCH of food for shelf stability. It was dehydrated and then canned with desiccant. Nothing looks moldy or rotten, but...

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    Will this correct itself over time?

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    I’ve been giving her the nutri-drench and the rooster booster via syringe. She has improved drastically and is not eating the feed on her own. Her head is still tilted. I’ll continue giving the vitamins to see if there is further improvement. Thanks for your advice guys. I really appreciate it.

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    Thank you for taking the time. I have the rooster booster b12 +k. Its drinking that but only when we can feed it. Its activity level is improved since she started getting hydration. Growth wise it is falling behind its siblings. This is making me think it isn't able to eat. I've seen her try and...

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    The chick is not eating enough of the mashed or dry dumor. She’s improved some being better hydrated, but her neck is still doing the thing. I’m going to try to find a liquid e supplement tomorrow and try the fish oil for the d. Does anyone have any suggestions about dosing? Any further advice...
