    Perpetually Watery Eyes: What's Going On?

    Hello! Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed that my almost 2 year old EE's fuzzy cheeks have been wet looking, almost as if she's been crying. At first I thought she was getting them wet in the waterer, but today I noticed one of the eyes looked foamy. Of course, as soon as I went to get...

    Marek's, Mycoplasma, Coryza, Oh My!

    Although my subject line may seem like a joke, this has certainly not been one! I take my chickens seriously, and have been as meticulous as I know how to be to keep them healthy, but I have not always succeeded. The learning curve has been tough! A couple of weeks ago I had a chicken with...

    Mycoplasma?

    Hello everyone! This is my first post here, so bear with me. A couple weeks ago I got a flock of 8 orpington pullets. They've been wonderful and I love them and their antics. However, maybe a week and a half ago I noticed some sneezing. One actually has a squeaky little sneeze, a couple others...

    Mites spreading disease?

    Hi all :) I've had this slow spreading disease in my flock since I brought some girls home in September, I'll try to keep the story short. I've been keeping chickens a number of years now, never had a pest or disease problem... I also don't usually buy hens elsewhere, sorta have a hatching...

    Respiratory Issues with Buff

    Hello, I am looking for some help with my buff orph that is about 6 months old. As of this morning when she came out of the coop she had a whistling breath and was sneezing. She also has a runny nose. I've given electrolytes in the water and then was told oregano would work better. So currently...

    Clear Bubbly Eye and Head Shaking

    Help! It's been one thing after another--scratch that, multiple things overlapping for my poor chickens. I just started a de-worming regimen yesterday after evidence of roundworms in a couple poops. I thought the culprit might be my 1.5 y/o EE, who had just started molting, stopped laying, and...

    possible mycoplasma in 4 week old silkie taking Baytril

    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...

    clearly ill on multiple levels

    Mentally ill, and now it seems quite physically ill...Oreo is a silkie, only a year old. She's never been the sharpest knife in the box but now I think something's seriously wrong with her. Like she's really lethargic, just sits around the coop and doesn't do anything. And a complete lack of...

    Please help - anyone have any guesses on this mystery illness?

    Hi! Thanks so much in advance for advice here. I’m devastated that I keep losing birds and panicked that I will have to cull the whole flock including four new babies. 18 months ago, got 4 pullets. Immediately, one was very sick. Symptoms: lethargic, no “chicken behavior” like scratching...

    Ducks & Mycoplasma

    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...

    Disinfecting coop after Mycoplasma Synovaie

    Hey all, I have depopulated after an M.S. outbreak. How do I properly disinfect the coop and run before adding new chicks? Everything I have read is for mycoplasma gallisepticum and it seems like it lasts on surfaces longer than mycoplasma synovaie. I have read that MS only can last 4 days...

    VA- Bielefelder hen from MS positive flock needs a home.

    I have a super sweet Bielefelder hen laying daily. She is the last one left from a Mycoplasma Synoviae positive flock and she's pretty lonely. I thought I would try to find her another suitable flock before we have to cull. Know anyone with an MS flock that may be willing to take her?

    MG? Coryza?

    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...

    Can you test birds for mycoplasma when they are asymptomatic?

    I have two healthy (looking) hens left out of six chicks I purchased last spring. The first bird I sent for a necropsy came back positive for M.S. (PCR). The last bird I sent in for testing in December, with similar symptoms was negative for M.S. I want to see if the two girls I have now are...

    Mycoplasma synoviae, gout or just general arthritis?

    First let me say I’m grateful for this web site and all the wonderful wisdom you all dispense! :-) My 2.5 year old Rhode Island Red has had swollen ankles and feet for the past 2.5 months. She is eating and drinking great, no bluish crown or color. Her feet just keep getting bigger and bigger...

    Turkey keeps flipping on to his back.

    So a couple weeks ago my 4 year old turkey, Brittany, had foam in the corner of his eyes and without any other symptoms the vet recommended just keeping an eye on him. I took him in to the vet when he started stumbling, spinning in a circle and flipped on to his back once, the vet gave him...

    Mycoplasma Mycoplasmosis MG MS (How bad is it??)

    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...

    Mereck's, MG and MS

    Well, this stinks... I just got a word from the vet that my little Mini that died last week (after me carrying for her for two months) had Mereck's, MG, and MS! I got new birds from a local family farm after a stinking possum murdered my perfectly happy healthy birds (one was left, because...

    Still struggling....thinking Wet Pox instead of Mycoplasma?!

    Ok so I posted a few days ago, that my girls are being given denagard for over a week. They had foamy eye, raspy breathing and 2 passed away (beaks open like they had trouble breathing - labored). I thought it was mycoplasma. (If any pass, I plan on doing a necropsy) One of my girls now has...

    Mycoplasma and dengard and oxine

    Hi I haven’t had it confirmed by an expert but all of my research has led me to believe my birds have mycoplasma ( raspy breathing, foaming and swollen eyes etc ) I have lost 2 in the the past week. I started with Denagard (15 ml per gallon) in all of the waterers added some sugar. I also used...
