    sick rooster

    My speckled sussex rooster, Oleander, is about 1.5 years old and has been sick for the last 9 days. The first day I noticed he was walking almost like he was drunk, so I initially thought dehydration and gave him hydrating food like corn, watermelon, etc, and electrolytes. He looked like he was...

    Is feed making my chickens sick?

    Has anyone had any issues with vitamin deficiency or any illnesses related to CO-OP starter grower feed? I have sick chickens and I’m trying to rule out all causes. I had baby chicks get wry neck… once I changed their feed and supplemented vitamins they got better. I didn’t want the feed to go...

    Bullied or Vitamin Deficiency?

    This is my bantam frizzle roo. Couple problems here that I’m not sure about. #1) As you can see in the photos, he has considerable loss of feathers. The ones on his neck are just the shaft of the feather that’s left- they feel like wire. The ones on his sides and wings are just plain missing...

    Possible Mareks in chick.

    I have this 2 month old pullet, Easter Egger. She was fine at two weeks old but ever since week three she’s been sitting/leaning a lot. She’ll stand and walk to the feeder or waterer, but will then sit to eat or drink. Her appetite and thirst are still the same, and she is gaining weight...
