I have few issue here at my homestead.
1. I got these 3 Ameracauna from my neighbor about 4month ago have noticed lots of runny poop that Dark bright green and some brown & white in color and has been runny and I thought it was from stress & from new environment.
I also just starting noticing really stinky, pasty and chocolate in color poop from my original flock and wondering if it can be from my 3 month old and the 2 year old that are sick.
2. I have 2 year old hen that looks like she is loosing weight and she seems to be lathargic, thin, poopy butt and not roosting. She is still eating an gets around but not really energetic. I have lost other birds in the 3 years with similar symptoms, it might be Merek diesease but not sure and I hope not. I now have to isolate her as well.
3. I have a 3 month old chicken that just lost it's facial feathering and looks a little swollen around the cheeks and so pale and has been limping on one leg about 2-3 days. She is such a sweetie and loves to jump on my shoulder when she sees me but I discovered the problem couple days ago and decided maybe she sprang her ankle because her & 3 other flock mates gets chased by the older girls. I went to bandage her up but noticed the face that looks so pale. I got her isolated and also started the Corid treatment for Coccocide because the 1 week old chicks I have in the house had it and I thought they might have gotten it from them.
4. I also have 6 week old chick that a broody hen hatched and mama died from being stuck in between a bale of straw and metal nesting box. She was one of the hen I got from my neighbor and went missing until the chick was chirping on top of straw bale that her mama could not get out of. I was so sad for weeks over it. So I'm her mama and has become the house chicken for now. I noticed her feather is breaking off or at least it looks that way. Do you know what it might be?
Desperately seeking advice!
So if you can help in any of these problems I'm having I would really appreciated.
Ps. How do I add a picture on this post?
