Hi everyone, I have a question. My daughters chicken was found alone in the coop area today by herself. She has been in isolation away from the chickens and I have now just had the chance to check her. She is not eating or drinking, I did get to pour a little water with electrolytes down, but...
My rooster has not been acting himself for the last 3 days. He has been with our goats which is unusual and doesnt want to go back to his coop. I was gone yesterday and my daughter told me he doesnt look good. Today he won't even get up even when I pick him up (he is not tame BTW and does not...
Hi everyone, I bought some baby chicks through the mail, 4 of them are OK, but one is a little slow on her feet and chirps a lot. I am not sure if she is eating. I softened her food with some water and tried to put her beak in it, but is not eating. I see her at the feeder with the other...

Hi there, I have had my flock for a few months now and I have never seen this before. My hen just laid a egg by my back door but with no shell. She doesn't seem to be doing a lot, but just sitting there for hours. I went out and gave her water she didnt want it at first then realized what it was...
Thank you Eggcessive. I never heard of Mareks before I just happen to google her symptoms and that is what came up. We have 3 baby chickens, well they are our babies they are 5 months old and the other chickens are well not sure, I got them from a huge farm that had over 800 of them stuffed...
I am sad to say she is gone. I do believe it was Mareks, she had all the symptoms. Now have to google what to do to protect the rest of them. We just cleaned out their hay in their coop yesterday so I think we might have to do it again today. Anything I can spray to kill some bacteria...
