    Necropsy results for 11 week old chick

    Hello everyone, This is me and my husbands first flock of chickens and I think we have started off on a very wrong foot. We got several chicks from various breeders around the same time and did not keep them separate, which I now realize was a mistake. About 2 weeks later a few (3 of 10) started...

    Chickens Occasionally Sneezing Clear, Watery Fluid

    Not sure if this is normal, but I've noticed some of my chickens sneeze easily, particularly in the evening and/or right after eating something moist like watermelon or mash. It's generally the 3-4 same chickens out of seven. When they get sneezy it looks like a clear, watery substance that...

    Testing for Mycoplasma??

    I have around 25 chickens and half have either mycoplasma or coryza. Too many of these birds are special to me to cull the whole flock. I would consider culling just the carriers if there was a cheap way to test them individually. If test are expensive or only postmortem, then I could cull them...

    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...

Last year I only lost one to an unsupervised nephew but this year I have lost to cocci, accites, sour crop and most frustratingly, respiratory disease (MG)...

    MG and respiratory disease and yellow poop

    Hi, everyone: I have Marek's in my flock, and have also just learned I have mycoplasma. About a week ago I vaccinated all my chickens with the MG vaccine, including a six month old Buff Brahma who had been sneezing. (I spoke to the state vet to be sure this was okay). My Brahma has been...

    Coop Bedding and Respiratory Concerns

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has any input on using wood pellets for coop bedding and respiratory issues in chickens? We've been trying to get to the bottom of respiratory problems in our chickens and we are starting to consider that it might be environmental as opposed to disease (which...

    Mycoplasma - the ethical debate

    I can't explain how heavy my heart felt this morning when I received the test results back. My birds have been diagnosed with Mycoplasma. I've been raising and breeding heritage breed poultry for a few years now. I even have my own 'line' of Olive egger chickens that I've been working very...

    Hen with swollen eyes decides to go broody while sick and the bullying restarts. Ugh.

    I have a multifaceted problem and am wondering what else I should do. My flock of 3 EEs, a Faverolle x Ameruacana and a Welsummer x Cream Legbar olive egger is closed due to CRD, most likely MG as 2 of my 5 have presented with unusual breathing sounds at different times although everyone has...

    Chronic Respiratory Disease? Wheezing and pale combs

    Hello all, I have been raising chickens for about 3 years with my boyfriend - this is a learning process for us. To be perfectly frank, we did not employ good biosecurity when we added to our flock about 2 years ago. This spring, I noticed a legbar wheezing. She was fine otherwise. I...
