Silence Is Not Golden Here

[BlackHackle]

Oh no!!!! im catching up here and ran across this. Hoping for good news by the time I make it to last post!

Just lost an Ixworth, Buff Orp bantam, and an OEG Bantam .

@BlackHackle Another lesson learned. I never considered this a problem.

Me neither. Boy I'm I crossing my fingers

I cannot wait to see if these birds start improving from that simple fix. I'm seriously rooting for you over here @BlackHackle ! & what a great job you two did if ID'ing a potential problem and coming up with a solution. I just love it! Oh I lost my first hen today. I've never suffered a loss before. She had a prolapsed vent that became infected - it was not obvious through her fluffy butt- and I'm just infuriated with myself for not knowing she had this problem. I have bathing them in the agenda but it's a little too late for her. I'm over here living and learning so much through you guys but seriously kicking myself right now.

Sorry for your loss

Unfortunately, lack of knowledge about diseases isn't just in chickens. Just look at how many people get a new puppy and think nothing of hauling it all over town to meet everyone and be everywhere, without getting its shots first - and then are shocked when Parvo happens.

I was so careful with my pup when we got him because I would carry him in every public place. My hubby thought I was crazy.

For sure it's across the board with all animals.

Are you willing to open any of the dead ones to look for the classic Marek's tumors?

Sorry about your loss!
It’s true though, I’m not sure what state I would be in without these intelligent folks.

Thank you so much. & yes there are some great & knowledgeable folks on this site for sure.

@BlackHackle so do you have one or two ixworth's left? Can't remember if you had Two or three to start out with.

I think I lost another hen
She's been MIA for almost 3 days.

No sign of her. Also don't have a rooster so I don't think she's hatching anything.

You don't need a rooster for her to have gone broody in the woods.

This is the worst Friday the 13th EVER!! The whole week has been cursed! Was she confined and now you can't find her or was she free ranging?
