    I think my dog must be an exception to the rule....when I first got the chickens 4 years ago he killed one. I didnt whip him, I just really scolded him...he is normally such a good dog so really hadnt been in '' trouble '' until he killed the chicken. He hasnt paid a bit of attention to them...

    I believe The Feed Mill in Meridian has it, but I dont know a price....they are usually much cheaper on their feeds, so probably on the DE too.

    I am so hoping you are all right and maybe it's something else. I have sure never seen anything like it before. Now this morning he is improving again...just a little. He squeezed my fingers with the worst leg...and for the first time when I was holding him he started preening under his wing. I...

    HELP!! What is the most humane way to cull a chicken?

    Have you considered gape worm? I had that in my flock for awhile and it makes them ''rattle'' when they breathe, too. They dont feel well because theyre not getting enough oxygen.

    Getting rid of my rooster! :(

    I have one that is doing the same thing! He was a year in February and he is a big aracona. He follows me and I have to watch him because he's nailed ME a few times as well...the first time he did it I kind of laughed because I was wearing animal print pajama pants so I thought THAT was why but...

    Idaho?

    Well, I havent had a vet look at him but by the symptoms he sounds like the classic case. I have lost a few chickens mysteriously over the last few months. I would just walk out there find them dead for no apparent reason. Now I'm wondering if I've always had it in my coup. I started out with 11...

    Idaho?

    Yes, I'm just sick at the prospect of what's going to happen with my flock. They are all pets. :( You're right about not taking him to Dunlaps...he's not a chick, he's 4 years old. But I do have 6 baby chicks that were hatched here...

    Help!!!!! Is is Marek's disease??

    I want to try to figure out how to post a video for you bcuz I think then you'll be able to definitavely tell me whether or not it's MD. I grew up on a chicken farm from age 5 on all through the teen years and beyond and I've never seen anything like this...and I've asked my father if he's ever...

    That sounds like she might have had an egg burst inside. I've had two hens do that. Also, Really keep an eye out, I dont know if you saw my posts about the Mereks Disease, but I think one of my roosters has it...it comes in on wild birds and where my feed is right out in the open the chickens...

    Help!!!!! Is is Marek's disease??

    Sure I will post some pictures in awhile...I just got him all settled back in his crate. BTW I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who brings their poultry in when theyre sick.
