can anyone decipher these results? they sent me the full report today.

I just read your article on mareks. heartbreaking but amazingly written and informative. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I didn't even think to ask the vet for pain relief - I feel so stupid. She must be in so much pain :( It seems that 100mg is the lowest dose aspirin here - I might...

Thankyou for all of this info. I'll keep a close eye on her and update in the thread. If she does end up passing away, I will definitely be getting a necropsy

would you be able to point out the uvevitis to me? I gave it a quick google but i’d like to know exactly what part you’re talking about for future reference. I noticed the colour change but wasnt sure if this is a marek’s sign, or just a sign of blindness. regardless, sudden blindness is very...

they said they could do a mareks PCR, but that results would take 10 days and that it frequently comes up with false positives. its expensive. So I decided on full panel first instead to see if there were any other markers that could point either towards or away from mareks. thankyou for the...

thankyou, she is on a high % protein feed alongside mealworms and eggs for now, i might also introduce some fish. thanks for reminding me. my chookie, when sick with cancer, enjoyed boiled fish to get her protein in. vet thinks it isn’t quite a mareks eye yet but could develop. I hate having...

This is Chip. she’s a 7 month old Buff Orpington. hasn’t began to lay yet. about a month ago I noticed that Chip had stopped eating. Upon first glance it seemed like she was, but she was pretending to eat by picking grains up and flicking them away. her crop was empty. she was drinking water...

Thankyou so much, I'll grab her some today. I'm in Australia and we have the jalna brand lactose free yoghurt! We also have liddels

Does it have to be specifically for chickens, or is human vitamin B okay too?

She's a partially indoor chicken, she chooses where she wants to be for the day. Thankyou, she is very beautiful. She does have access to grit, and her usual food & water. No one has fed her anything out of the norm, but she has lactose free plain yoghurt with grain once a week. We don't have...

MIDNA is a 22 week old silver laced barnevelder She hasn't started laying eggs yet The last two days she's been a little extra sleepy, is gravitating to corners and darker spaces, and is refusing to eat her favourite foods. Her poop is normal, and her crop is emptying normally. I'm very...

My darling buttercup had a strong bond with her sister, Daphne. One night, Daphne was taken by a fox. I truly believe buttercup has been suffering with anxiety / ptsd since that day. She would call out in front of the shed every morning and night, looking for Daphne. When Daphne never returned...

If you're able to keep them indoors in cages or play pens, I'd recommend it. Chickens have super sensitive respiratory systems, and smoke / smog can kill them. We had really bad bushfires here in Australia, I kept my girls inside.

1) Nutmeg is an 8-10 month old Hyline Brown chicken. She was always the heaviest of the flock, but now she feels very light. Her keel bone is sticking out more than it used to. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. (Nutmeg is very depressed, slow and droopy lately. Her comb has shrunk...

Yes!

I'll take your word for it guys! Just been sus as she keeps trying to fight my foot. 😂 she's got the attitude of a roo, but looks very feminine.

I'll tell her you said that ;)

Thanks! ❤️

Hiya, me again. Midna, my little barnie, had just turned 7 weeks. Unsure of sex still, thinking of doing a DNA test. Any ideas before I get the test? Hoping she's a pullet, so I can keep her once we move :(

Thanks guys, I'll keep updating! They grow so quick
