Hello, I'm a first time chick mom, 3 weeks ago I got 9 1-week old chicks (7 of them from one pair of parents and 2 of them from another, from the same breeder, no MG free certifications here in a small city in mexico) they had been all raised together for at least 4 weeks, and were all...
I have a long story but RIGHT NOW I have a very sick chicken battling what I think to be SOUR CROP please help
I will keep it to the pertinent details.
1. i got a flock of 10 “laying” 6 month old birds from a guy off Craigslist, bad idea, now I know...this man was not a bird man. He culled...
I've come to the sad realization that the chickens in my flock have Mycoplasma aka chronic upper respiratory illness. I have Khaki Campbells, Muscovy, and Pomeranian Saddleback Geese as well that have all, at some point, been exposed to this nasty nastiness. What's the prognosis for them? Is it...
Hello everyone, greetings from EU!
I think my chickens have Mycoplasma G. or Coryza since one of them smelled badly. Some of them had bubbles in their eyes, sneezed and the smelly one still has a swollen spot under her eye, I treated them with Tylan powder, all of the symptoms disappeared...
I just noticed my girl was staying next to me all day today. When I squatted to talked to her, I noticed her bubbles in her eyes. Upon research, I figured it could either be Coryza or MG? Is there a difference in the two? What’s the difference?
Demographics: SW Louisiana. She is either 11...
Recently new to chickens, I had a vet come and inspect the farm and all the chickens. She found them all to be in good health and my farm to be clean and in order. She also advised me on normal worming, parasites, chicken health, etc. Later that week, one of our favorites died suddenly. No...
Hi there,I have a poorly hen and I’ve got some nutri drops and I’ve given her some this morning but my question is how many times can I give her some in a day. It doesn’t seem to say.All it says is dose a min of 3 days and no more than 5 days.Can I give her more today or have to wait till...
Hi! I don't have chickens yet, but am actively planning to. I just saw a house finch by my window that looked like it had signs of advanced mycoplasma. I plan to temporarily remove my birdfeeders to encourage the sick bird(s) to move on, and disinfect the feeders with bleach before I hang them...
Frustrated to say the least. I went to a chicken swap an few weeks ago, came home with a batch of cute little ladies and have had three die already. One from a prolapsed vent, and two that I’m assuming weren’t strong enough to fight off the mycoplasma gallisepticum that came along with them. I...
I need some input, advice, help figuring out what is the best option. We have had our original flock for just over a year. Every thing had been going great! I got some new birds recently and made the stupid mistake of not quarantining them for 30 days, after a week I started to integrated them...
This morning, there was a shell-less (and rather scrambled) egg under the roost. I figured out the culprit was my Ameraucauna, Henrietta, pretty quickly because she had a piece of egg stuck to her vent. She's two years old, a reliable egg layer, very docile good girl. I got her in a shallow tub...
So, you may have seen my post before where I explain how my flock inherited MG from a “hatchery” that sold me sick chickens. So far I have gotten the disease under control but symptoms keep popping up in another chicken every time one beats it. I have a few questions on how to proceed from here...
Hey all this is a bit long but would love peoples thoughts an opinions
When I first got chickens I purchased them from a local no-name feedstore. It was so run down and all the chicks were kept in fairly terrible conditions. Of course I had to save them! Fast forward to the chickens being about...
Hi,
My 3 yr. old bantam cochin hen has been diagnosed with Mycoplasma Gallisepticum, from blood tests by the state lab. She has been on antibiotics for 10 days and is doing much better. However her left leg and wing have been affected and are paralyzed. She is working her right wing and...
