    HELP!! Hen might have Salmonella!!

    Earlier this week I have made another thread of my sick hen, and came to the conclusion that she might have Salmonella. She is not really eating and was drinking lots of water. Actually she may not even drinking that much water now, probably because I put garlic in it. Her comb is droopy and she...

    Is this a case of mites?

    This afternoon a wild bird appeared in front of our windows. Our house is only 100 yards or so from our chicken coops. It looks sick. 😭 I was going to put it out of it's misery, but by the time I got around the house to it, it was gone. 😔 What are your thoughts?!

    Curing salmonella

    We have a suspicion of Salmonella in our flock. I am waiting for the lab results, they told me Salmonella and Campylobacter are suspected, they have to isolate it. I wanted to ask - in case it proves we do have Salmonella in the flock, can it be treated? I read many articles on this topic, and...

    So, people have been getting careless and forgetting to wash their hands. Lots more Salmonella cases have popped up over the summer, with a quarter of them being in young kids 5 and under. Review and reinforce that handwashing for the kiddos. These reminders go out 3-4 times a year -- the last...

    Salmonella from compost

    Are my chicks dying of coccidiosis, salmonella, or something else?

    Hey there, I'm wondering if anyone can help with some info? I had 8 chickens yesterday. Now sadly I have 4. Another might also die soon. The first one died last night, the next 3 today. I purchased them about 5 days ago and I think they were under 1 week old. So they'd be max 2 weeks now. I...

    URGENT: Please help! My new chickens are sick!

    3 days ago, I acquired 3 Ameraucaunas from a backyard breeder (whom I have never used before) 2 pullets and 1 roo. They are 3-5 weeks of age. I noticed that their droppings were very smelly when I first got them. After a day of having them, symptoms began. I came to feed them in the morning and...

    Red mites are small parasites of about one millimeter. They cause a lot of nuisance in the hen house, and can also transmit diseases and weaken a chicken severely. Sometimes if the owner doesn’t see the red mites before the infestation gets bad, chicks and chickens can get killed by herds of red...

    Did I just give my family salmonella?

    My mother sent me home with two dozen eggs this past Saturday and I came home and put them in my egg basket on the counter like I normally do. This morning, she made me aware that the eggs had previously been refrigerated AFTER I had already fed five of them to my family. They had previously...

    Salmonella, do I kill the whole flock?

    My family contracted salmonella a few days back. (I had it for a day, my husband has had it for a week now, and my son had it for about 5 days) The bird we culled was lethargic and dirty. We killed it and got rid of it but now I’m wondering if the whole flock needs to be culled... they are all...

    Chickens ate rat poop..salmonella concern

    My chickens definitely ate rat poop over the course of a month while trying to get a rat problem under control. I heard this is how most chickens contract salmonella. Is this true? Are wild rats carrying salmonella and spreading to backyard chickens this way? If they are infected (how would I...

    Sanitation!!

    So I'll start off by saying I'm a bit of a germaphobe. My girls are almost ready to lay. I clean out their coop once a week and give it some clean pine chips in there. I also sanitize their drinker and feeder with a vinegar solution. the run is sand based so I scoop that out once a week too. Is...

    Salmonella??

    Hey all. I have four baby chicks, all about 2-3 weeks old. Starting about a week ago, I’ve been having frequent diarrhea, cramping, and fatigue whilst handling my chicks often. We are thinking it is salmonella since I’ve never gotten sick like this before and it would be quite a coincidence. We...

    Chickens and Salmonella

    Hypothetical: If someone contracts Salmonella, there's a good chance that it came from one of their chickens. Most likely from their poop since if they had it in their system showing symptoms it would be obvious and be treated. I assume if it is carried only in their poop it doesn't effect...

    Any experience with salmonella?

    I lost my Silkie rooster after a short battle with a respiratory infection this week. The vet did a necropsy and believes he found evidence of salmonella but they are doing a test to make sure. I have a flock of 14 other chickens who I love dearly, they are more than livestock to me, they are...

    Salmonella?! What do I do now????

    So, both of my kids (10 & 6 yo) have tested positive with the same strain of Salmonella. The CDC has done genome testing and it is a strain "common from handling live poultry." They will now be testing a stool sample from my flock for confirmation that is where they contracted it. We have 10...
