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...

Its hard to tell, its wet from her drinking. She wont law down like the others are...so frustrating and I feel helpless

She hasn't eaten anything since being hatched, she wont eat anything here either

Oh no what is that?

Hi, I never thought i'd do it, but I ordered some chickens with a friend of mine through the mail. We received them today and unfortunately there were 3 dead ones in the box. I have 5 myself and one just doesn't seem right. She wont move that much unless startled and she wont open her eyes...

Hi there, can anyone help me? I am still new to chickens, started last year with them, and I want to thoroughly clean their coop out, can I use water and bleach to clean and kill anything in there (besides the chickens)? It's a wooden coop so I am concerned of rot or mold, but I thought if its...

I would be interested in learning more. I have goats and am a newbie on owning them. Thank you

Hi Y'all...Newbie with goats, well I have had them for a year now, but still a newbie with things. When I got my goats they were only a few days old and very sick. A lot of you have been helping me through the way and I more than appreciate that! But now I have another question. Should I be...

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...

I hope so too, thank you again

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...

Wish I would have thought of that, we buried her right away...

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...

Thank you for saying that. I can't even kill a bee that is in my house or a spider walking on my wall. Those are God's creatures, not mine to kill. I can't think about killing her until I know its hurting her or she is dying. Like you said one day at a time and I will. My concern is that it...

Here is a good link to this virus information...Not good news...https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-great-big-giant-mareks-disease-faq

After the research and such i think it might be. But the sting concerns me, she was fine before then. I didnt see anything on the disease that says that their eggs if they produce any yet are not good anymore? I dont think she is laying any but not sure? And if it is this disease it will...

Unfortunately she is doing the same. I researched slings yesterday but not sure that would help her. I just dont want her to be in pain, I can't stand that. I love my animals so much like they were my family. Sounds stupid my family tells me that all the time, but these are our babies. We...

Oh no sorry uzifam poultry to hear you lost 5 already. This is so frustrating. I feel so bad for her, she was our sweetest one and we just got her a few months back. Our last flock was eaten by a predator we since updated our coop and there is no way for animals to get in. I did read this...
