Skinny chicken.

[blairctchickens]

I know I am on back yark chicken. But is it u who I am talking to? That knows allot about chickens? She is blind a whit foggy spot in eye means blind. I never herd about the disease

Ok just a little of my OCD coming out but please spell out all of your words, you are typing. Reading your post is somewhat hard to do with all the abbreviations.

Your reference to "U" is really many people online here at Backyard Chickens that have YEARS of experience in raising chickens. Please look up the Mareks diseases systems for this most likely the cause of your chickens issues. Also you stated you are have many issues at loosing chicks and chickens in the past, it is of the utmost importance to keep your coop and pen cleaned regularly. You could have issues with filth and mold that could be the cause of your flock loss.

Backyard Chickens is a community of very friendly, kind people who try to help those in need in any way possible,but if no information is given, no one can help you. What other symptoms are you noticing? If you can tell us the symptoms we could help you, however if you can't tell us what your chicks symptoms are and keep asking for help instead of saying what's wrong (aside from her being skinny with a blind eye) then we can't help you because we don't know what's wrong. It sounds to me like some sort of respritory disease but since I have no other information I can't be sure. There are no vets provided on this site but I can guarantee if you keep calling around and googling one you'll find one that can help you eventually.

It's the text talk. A lot of people on this site are older and don't speak texting very well. Case-in-point, your use of ppl instead of people. That kind of thing can be annoying to anyone over 25. And in order to help we need more information such as medicated or unmedicated starter, coop/run size, how often you give treats, is there grit available, how many chickens do you have in your coop/run, have any of the adult birds had a serious illness? A full body shot of the sick bird can also help.

 

[lovechickens23]

What dose medicated and unmedicated mean?? Yes that's how people talk now sorry for that. And there run size is big I don't know how big. And there free range chickens some times. I got allot of chicks. And the one is sick is with 3 other chicks. And yes I let them to eat stones for grit. And they eat treats sometimes. No I haven't had an adult with sickness just chicks allot right after they hatch. People tell me sometimes chicks get allot of disease. What kind of shot it that? Where can I get it?? Is my spelling better now??

Medicated chick starter contains an ingredient to help prevent coccidiosis. Unmedicated chick has no coccidia preventative. The reason I ask about coop and run space is that if you have too many birds, in too small a space, disease can easily be spread, and can cause behavioral issues. It can also cause an excess buildup of coccidia protozoa in the soil. Sick birds should be separated from healthy birds to help prevent the spread of illness. Chicks dying shortly after hatching usually is an indication that something is wrong with your brooding methods.

Sorry didn't mean to sound mad I am just worried about my chick. I lost so many chicks from sucknes y do some baby chick die after few days of hatching? That happens to me allot. Is it cause there interbreads but sometimes there not inyerbreads. Y do they die after hatching?? I have tryed so many vets. Do u know any mobile vets?? Witch means come to your house??

I am really sorry you are having so much trouble.

You mention that you lose a lot of chicks due to illness. If you are hatching them yourself, you may want to do some research before you hatch your next batch. There many helpful articles on hatching eggs. There are several illnesses/diseases that can be passed into the egg, this could be part of your problem. If you already have an illness in your flock, those birds are considered carriers and can pass illness on to the chicks you hatch.

Practicing good biosecurity between your flocks, brooders and incubation equipment could possibly eliminate some illness.

Your chick's eye could have been caused by a respiratory illness/disease, genetic disorder or wound.
As previously mentioned finding a vet would be best.

Also as previously mentioned, for the eye, if there is a discharge, flush the eye with saline and remove any pus. Apply Vetericyn eye gel or Terramycin eye ointment.
Keep her warm and make sure she is eating/drinking well.

Here is information on what Marek's eyes look like, poultry diseases, incubating and biosecurity information. Good Luck!
