I am devastated to say my girl died last week. After wasting my time giving her supplements I finally realized it was an ear problem. I started treating her for an ear infection. From what I read ear infections that cause balance problems have made it to the inner ear and are viral and hard to...

i switched to a b complex this morning vs the vit e w selenium. she is only 4 lbs so afraid the pill would choke her. she can straighten her neck but doesn’t keep it straight for long.

I have a 2 yr old hen that started holding its head to the side. I started treating for wry neck by squeezing vit e + selenium pills in her mouth. ive done 4 of the 200 iu pills a day for more than a week although I am not sure how much is getting in her mouth. I thought her comb started turning...

Is it possible that my 3yo hen has angel wing? Everything I see references ducklings. They are almost done molting and when I noticed the wing feathers laying funny earlier this week I thought it was because they were getting ready to fall out. Today I noticed she is fidgety with it so I am...

I am not sure I can afford another chicken vet bill right now. He does seem to be better than this morning so I am hoping I don’t have to go that route :|

I did put some vitamin e in his food just in case it was wry neck but you never know how much they get. I just squeezed some into his beak as suggested. thx!

I am trying but it is not accepting the file extension. I guess it doesn’t like iphone videos :( I appreciate all your help!

i haven’t heard any gurgling and no runny nose/eyes but i did just put some vetrx on his beak just in case it was a respiratory thing.

He can and seems to intermittently but when he stands up he is moving his head back and forth and I didn’t see where that happens with wry neck (but maybe I’m missing something). I know in my original post it said he was shaking his head, it looks more like stevie wonder- if that helps.

When I got home from work yesterday the rooster was standing in the run with his head down. He got into the coop last night but was no better this morning. He has been shaking his head occasionally. I tried to check for ear mites but didn’t see anything and no crusty stuff. One ear canal does...

I finally picked up my new rooster today. I am excited. I hope he stays sweet.

It sure looks like a roo to me. Mine were already crowing at 3 months, but the comb & wattles on the pullets were no where near that red. I am hoping you have a girl also!

Ah, never thought of that!

Adorable!! Congratulations:)

I tried the hand feeding when they were little but they pecked my hands so hard I gave it up. I guess I am a wimp :) I hope your eggs hatch! I actually hatched a cracked egg so all hope is not lost!
