I have been reading your thread and hoping you get peace in your flock and that your pullet can get her eggs sorted out and more comfortable.
Edit: I have Dovey that laid soft shells to start out and then The Nuzzler who went through a few bouts with laying a couple of soft shells in a day a...
I have decided that I will let my small flock live to the best of their ability. I got them a poultry netting and they are enjoying play time in the cordoned off yard while I watch them.
If it was just Mareks, it would be simpler but with MS too, I can't see adding to or breeding my flock at...
I am so sorry.
Those spasms she had are how my Scaley died.
I already had her in a hospital cage in the house as I tried to treat a cyst or tumor that was on her tail. In the few days leading up to it she was doing little peep sneeze coughs (IDK maybe coughs that I thought were sneezes?) and...
I hope you and your doctor can help adjust you to a dose and schedule that works for you.
Did you get started out on high doses right off the bat? That would definitely be a shock to your system if so.
I got on the highest progesterone 200 and the .05 mg patch a month later. It was a ride but...
With my first month on only progesterone I noticed changes and it caused me some anxiety. The micronized progesterone has a certain effect for the first hour or few after taking with food as I was advised. It is a gaba type feeling like a valium or other antianxiety med. It can be really nice...
My chicken Scaley passed away and was positive for Mycoplasma synoviae upon necropsy. I ordered this before she passed away but was planning to treat the flock after deworming and corid after the necropsy results showed cocci, capillary and cecal worms, and the MS.
The flock seems fine as far...
I hope this makes you feel better at the least. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis last year.
I feel better than I have in around 15 years after about a year on a similar treatment. My doctor gave me just the 200 mg progesterone nightly and vaginal estradiol cream until I (unwillingly - I...
I am still waiting on the test results but the results for Mycoplasma synoviae and the gross findings of presumptive lymphoma are very discouraging.
If it were just the mareks there would be hope to have more chicks one day. With the MS, I will not even attempt to add to my flock without the...
Upon the passing of my chicken Scaley, the necropsy report showed that she had capillary and cecal worms, coccidiosis as well as Mycoplasma S.
I used albendazole on the 4 remaining chickens the day she died on 12/14 and plan to do again on 12/24.
The question I have is if it is ok to do a...
I am from Broward county in S. FL where if you even miss shots or re registration they would send threatening mail and even fines/tickets. To think that I was annoyed by this... Haha
My dog was adopted from Dade county when they were banning bully breeds and mixes and asked people from...
Thanks for this!
I spoke with a man this morning who called me about the pending mareks and other results and I mentioned the area N.FL and how it seems to be around and he pretty much said that it isn't just this area but that they test for it. I guess you will find something more often if you...
I have a pullet who lays in different shades of blue/green and layed a pretty darned white one. She was having issues and was on amoxicillin at the time but her color still varies a bit.
I tend to go by shape with my 2 blue layers but I only have a couple chickens so it is easy to figure out...
I dewormed with albendazole the day Scaley died. I saw the worms in her cecal poop the night before. I wonder if I should corid everyone too and just keep deworming more often than quarterly like I had planned before this. I dewormed in September and planned to do it December 23 but had to do it...
Thank you for this comment.
My hens have never left the run but the rooster has been put out for easy coop and run maintenance because he attacks us. He loves his ladies and won't go farther than 6 feet from the run... I am afraid of pitt bulls barging in to my property when they get determined...
@Eggcessive, @Wyorp Rock, @azygous
Does this mean that we have the worse form of mycoplasma? Probably visceral mareks or another disease that causes tumors (test pending). I have had my first tiny flock for 6 months, and feel so defeated and at a loss like I can never have more chickens here, or...
