    Vitamin Deficiency?? Help!!!

    Hey y’all, I’m going to keep the story short. Last night my girls were good, when I got them in the coop, this morning I went out to find my Olive girl laying down beside the gate.

    HELP!! Chicken is paralyzed

    I found my chicken yesterday away from her flock mates with curled up toes and paralyzed legs. I initially thought she was egg bound because she hasn’t laid her egg and i put her in warm water then dried her off. This morning I tried feeling for an egg but I didn’t know how to do it. I started...

    Mysterious disorder in the Cookies and Cream hybrid

    I ordered two cute Cookies and Cream pullets from Meyer Hatchery for an April 2023 hatch date. They arrived safely and are very sweet and cute. However—Cardi Beak began having mobility issues before she left the brooder (in fact, I posted here about her). Nothing has worked—vitamins, making...

    Can 1 month old chickens get mareks vaccine?

    So I heard that your supposed to vaccinate chicks for mareks when they are just 1 day old and I was wondering if 1 and a half month old chicks can get the mareks vaccine still?I heard people say that the vaccine might not help when they are older so I’m wondering if I can still vaccinate them.

    Sudden onset balance/mobility problem

    Yesterday, my three ten-week old pullets seemed fine—see attached photo. This morning, one chick is struggling to move and struggling with balance. Does Marek’s disease have a sudden onset? Do any other diagnoses come to mind? The chicks were vaccinated. I don’t know if my four adult chickens...

    I need help identifying a disease is it poison or Mareks.

    I am worried about a wild Gallus gallus hen. She has started to be sick like at least 6 other hens and one rooster and it always ends the same. Dropped wings, twisting of neck, paralysis and eventually an inability to breathe. One dead chicken was taken to the vet for an autopsy, but she...
