    Sudden Death in Khaki Campbell

    Hey everyone! This is my first post on the forum even though I've been stalking threads here for a few months! Sadly, one of my female Khaki Campbell ducks passed away suddenly today and I am trying to figure out why. The ducks are almost 5 months old, and they all seem to behave normally...

    4 day old vaccinated chick from Ideal, dead from Marek's?

    So, just as it says on the tin, today I lost a 4 day old chick (with us for 24 hours-- shipping took longer than usual) from what appeared to be Marek's today. They are inside in my living room, and my flock is outside. Sanitazed cage. Vaccinated by Ideal, and not sure if they're still just...

    Sudden death, and saving the others

    I had three Silkies, one was older than the other two at 11 weeks, the other two are about 8-9 weeks old now. Last night I noticed the oldest one seemed listless compared to the others. He was fine all day. I pick them all up and look them over every day and he seemed fine a few hours earlier...

    Marek's questions, non urgent, can I do more

    This is a non urgent question. I would love feedback from others dealing with Marek's in their flock. We have confirmed Marek's in our flock. As you can imagine we have lost quite a few birds. Some to spontaneous death and others to neuro symptoms. However, most recently our 20 week old buff...

    SUDDEN DEATH.. another one bites the dust :(

    Because we hatch 3 times a month, loosing a chick now does not devastate me like it did in the beginning. I am not a monster.. just I have excepted the fact that death is in the deck of cards. It is easy to become desensitized when you run a small farm because death is an inherited factor. We...

    Both hens dead within hours - no previous symptoms

    Hey y'all, I had a tragic weekend where both my hens died unexpectedly and without symptoms. My brother let them out of the coop in the morning and they were fine. Pecking at the worms he brought them and by the time he got home from work they were both dead. Nothing physically wrong with them...

    Diagnosis Needed - Dead Hen This morning

    I went out to check food and water this morning and AmiJo, one of my top hens, was dead in the run near the fence. I have checked her for predator damage and have found none. I admit that a few other things have been going on lately that have caused temporary changes but given the odd mix of...

    What killed my hen and how do I keep my flock healthy?

    Yesterday we lost our one year old Australorp, Peppa. The day before she came out of the hen house with the rest of our flock and seemed normal at breakfast. A little while later we went back down to the coop and noticed that she was letting out a runny, stinky green-brown poop. Then she went...

    My duck died

    one of my 1 year old black runner ducks died this morning. She didn't come out of the coop this morning, her breathing was heavy and she just stood by her nest. I looked up her symptoms, figured she was egg bound, called to see if the vet could give her a calcium injection. When I went out to...
