Thank you, I still have hope! She still can't walk and when I try to have her stand while supporting her she usually has her feet crossed, and then when she tries to walk ends up having to use her wings and then falls to one side. I try to catch her and not let her fall. Today I made a sling out...

okay, yes I hope the vitamins help, too... hopefully its not a virus. I'm gonna wait it out and see if she gets better but we are prepared to do what's best for her. I just hope she can walk again. I don't think she has a back problem, she's never fallen as for as I know and I pet her back and...

So, I have a 6 week old hen named Cupcake and is a barred plymoth rock I got from a farm store when she was a chick. She has been healthy her whole life until recently one of our roosters got really sick with gapeworm so we dewormed the whole flock. That was a few days ago and we thought it was...

The farm store told me it was gape worm so we gave all our chickens the medicine for gapeworm. It was difficult because it was a large pill so we had to mix with water and food to get them to eat it. The rest of the flock is okay right now but the two rhode island reds weren't doing too well...

Thanks everyone, and we are on Oahu as well! Definately will check out the learning center ;)

Hi BYC members, I recently joined BYC because I have been getting great info from this site since getting my chicks and decided it was time to join. We are pretty much obsessed with our small flock and anytime I am lost I come to this site. I am already receiving feedback on a post I made...

This is our chicken house, they hardly go in the coop- I am not sure the exact dimensions, maybe the run is 4ft (l) x 4ft (w) x 5ft (h) and the coop is smaller... Except when it rains they mostly stay in the run unless its hot or rainy. We do not have any bedding in there yet it's just wooden...
