I suspected mereks from the beginning, I wouldn’t give anyone a bird from my flock just by speculation. However, I now stock up on these vaccines so I have it available for hatching. I’ll have to really plan my hatches this summer to get the most out of this vaccine since it’s only good when...

This is what I was thinking from the beginning, I should probably cull her

She is only resting on one hock not both. By equal I mean not swollen..looking the same

I didn’t get a pic of both legs but they seemed equal. No puss or cuts…maybe it’s a slipped tendon. I pulled her leg back but I couldn’t figure it out. I had her splint off yesterday but I redid it today but with twigs on the side to keep it straight. The only antibiotic I have is a sulfa...

I tried to wrap her but she was Freaking out, so I unwrapped her. I put her in a smaller space hoping that rest will help. I will be tube feeding her and giving her antibiotics/water via tube. I have five days to devote to this. If I had a sling I would put her in it so her leg could...

She is the third pic

She’s not eating or drinking, I’m still feeding her. She pecks through the food And makes a mess though. Do you think if I was to sprinkle in an antibiotic it would be helpful?

It’s her hock joint that’s swollen. I’ll have to research this. Maybe it’s a slipped tendon! I’m going to go feel and wrap it. I’m also going to sprinkle anti biotics in the food I’m feeding her.

After I fed her tonight, I let her walk so I could evaluate her. This is how she is favoring her leg she walks on it like this.

She has mash, pellets, crumblesto her accessibility. I only use all flock since my crew is a wide range of cuties. When I came home from work her crop was not full so I fed her. After I fed her I let her walk around the coop. She was 90% better!! I’m so glad!! I’ll keep her in the cage for...

She didn’t eat on her own so I still tube fed her. She messes with her feed, so it’s all over the place. Her limp is there still. I just got her the b complex pill, all I had was b 12 paste. So I’ll give it awhile, she doesn’t mind the tube feeding. At least she isn’t loosing weight and her...

I checked yesterday when I got home from work around 4 and she still had an empty crop. I’ll see how she does today!

Yes all flock! The purple bag lol! She’s doing somewhat better today I feed her 3 times a day. Tomorrow my actual tube feeder comes in the mail. Poops are looking great doesn’t appear to be loosing weight, I’ll keep at it

Her poop looks normal, I cought it early. Normal urates no green bile. No I have not added new birds. My problems came about when I added two ayam ceramies to my flock last spring. I did isolate them for a month. I’ll start the b complex today! For now she has rooster booster vitamins and...

I have two windows inside my coop that I keep open about 4 inches. It provides nice ventilation . There isn’t much build up of poop inside the coop. When I head out I’ll snap a picture I also have a dehumidifier running to pull any moisture to avoid mold I have been feeding them pellets...

I have barn Matt’s covered with straw once I remove the barn Matts it’s easy to clean

There is waste everywhere, I clean my coop once a week. I make sure the feed is clean as well as the water stations (since I also had cocci this year). Twice a year I power wash it and disinfect it. I also spray to prevent mites. Girls get wormed twice a year as well.

I have 6 feeding stations and two water stations for 25 birds. It has to be mereks there is no other possible explanation. Every bird has a full crop at night, it’s like one every 4 weeks goes through this. Really upsetting

My prize bird I noticed has had an empty crop at night. I’m crazy I feel every birds crop before I go to bed so I can get an idea of their health, I noticed her crop has been empty, I think it’s because one of my bantams protects the food. I stay in there and let her eat and toss away any bird...
