    Vitamin Deficiency or Mareks?

    I recently used Amprolium to treat my chickens for coccidia. Shortly after treatment, my 20 week old Lavender Orpington started to show some unusual behavior. She is still very bright mentally, still eating and drinking. It started as laying on her hocks when resting. Now, she is unable to walk...

    3 Day Old Chick - Wry Neck or Something Else?

    I have 3 day old baby chicks. Is it possible for wry neck to be present at day 1? Or would it likely be some other condition - like something neurological? The chick is presenting all wry neck symptoms pretty accurately (walks in circles, neck tilting and rolling and twitching, falling over...

    Sick chicken, new symptoms almost every day

    So almost two weeks ago I noticed my hen acting a bit weird, she just wasn't herself and wasn't eating a lot. She just laid her first egg the day before. She is about 24 weeks, Ayam Cemani, and has always been a very petite girl compared to the rest of the flock. I immediately separated her from...

    Story: Our girl Bonita (Orpington): We made a huge mistake at the beginning by putting straw around the inside perimeter of their brooder. We quickly learned that it was too slick for their baby legs and at a few weeks old her and another chick were having a hard time walking. We took the straw...

    HELP! Chicken crouch walking!?

    I have a barred rock that is about 20 weeks old. She has developed this odd type of crouch walking. Looks like the equivalent of army crawling, but for chickens. I thought maybe she was egg bound so I gloved up and put petroleum jelly on my finger and inserted it into the vent about two inches...

    Marek or Vitamin Deficiency?

    I went to let my chickens( almost 17 weeks old) out yesterday morning and found one of my girls on the ground and falling face forward when she tried to get up and walk. I sent the video to a friend and told me it looked like Marek disease and I needed to separate her. I did separate her and was...
