Thank you, good article, 1st one died at 4 months, The one necropsied was 6 months old. I’m thinking I should just wait this out and see if I lose more first, before considering more. I think I have much learning needed. The 4 left are 8 months now. Appear healthy but periodic diarrhea that...
I think I remember, seeing one of the first ones I lost, begin to shake it’s head and opening beak when it stopped eating the day before it passed. Possibly this was respiratory-attributing to the coop not ventilated.
This will be a long post, but I need your opinions/recommendations. I got my first chickens (4-5 mo old) in March 2023 from a friend with chickens. I later let Broodies hatch their eggs. I also purchased/received 1day old chicks (non-vaccinated) at the same time the chicks hatched. Hatched...
She is around 13 months old. Treats are mealworms and started scratch again with weather change. I will try for a pix of her standing today. She was standing/walking with legs straight under her, but only briefly. I will also add the vitamin e. If vitamin deficiency, how long should it take...
Does this look like scaly leg mites? They don’t really actually look as dark as the picture. Would it make it difficult for her to stand? She’s wobbly when standing and soon falls over to right. Still eating and drinking.
I covered legs with Vaseline 2x and am following the instructions...
Just to confirm, this is to make copper sulphate into acified copper sulphate, would not add acv if already acified copper sulphate? How long does mixture last?
No worries, She just died. I’m guessing whatever I did killed her, however I know she might not have made it anyway. Didn’t need her if cankers for sure, but have to wonder if it was wet pox and she might have healed when it ran its course if I’d left her alone. So hard, such a beautiful and...
Attached is a pix today. Definitely yellow, barely smelled anything-maybe vaguely like a cows mouth, like grass, but had to almost get nose to beak to smell. Not sure if canker would be strong like dead animal? Swelling underneath is not squishy. Thought maybe infection, tried to lance but...
Haven’t seen any spots on them and haven’t seen others with this issue yet. Other issues resulting from apparently cocciliosis. Would possibly Valbazen, Corrid, ACV, garlic, Poultry Cell, home Enzyme recipe, too much etc cause it? I rarely give them anything other than their food and occasional...
