In this episode, Dr. Blayne visits a small backyard flock in Waco, Texas that has faced nearly every health battle imaginable: Marek’s disease, mites, lice, coccidiosis, respiratory problems, and now possible ear infections.
Despite the best care, each new problem seems to bring another setback. Together, we talk through why backyard flocks are so vulnerable, how to separate husbandry mistakes from unavoidable health issues, and the real steps every chicken keeper can take to protect their birds.
