Thanks for sharing. I think I have one just like this. Will have to do more to get her thru her chick days. Thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions for this poor hen. She seems fine now, but not sure what to do. Thanks.

My hen has a large area that has been swollen for quite some time now. When I feel it, it is kind of soft and squishy. I am not sure what to do for her. I have let it go for a very long time and she shows no symptoms that it bothers her except that she is always the last one to jump off her...

Does anyone know of any swap meets or poultry auctions in the Bristol or Tri-Cities area? Also searching for a good source for Silkie chickens as well. We just moved to the area and have silkies and just ordered our laying hens from a hatchery. Thanks.

Hi, Just wanted to give an update. The little lady is doing better. I have been giving her ground up Vitamin B Complex since my last post, and just when I thought she was never going to get better, she started to move her toes. At first neither feet nor legs would work properly and they would...

I just bought the Vitamin B Complex (has all the B-vitamins) and mashed it up and gave it to her in some Start & Grow crumbles and water. She is eating good so she ate quite a bit of it. She also drinks. She is really trying to get up, yesterday she was kind of just standing there, but then...

Thank you guys for the support and advice. I will get some vitamin B today and try to get her to take it. Also some calcium too. Hopefully she gets better She doesn't seem to be in any pain, she tries to get around, she just cant. It is the exact same as you were describing in your chicken...

I just edited the first note, and the subject because no one has replied yet and usually I get really quick answers. Any help would be great. Thank you!!

Are there any experts (or non-experts, I will take any advice suggestions and try it) out there that can help? I am worried she will die or I will have to put her down because she cant live like this forever. Thanks guys!!

I have an OEG / Showgirl mix that I have had since she hatched. She is about 4-5 months old. About 3 weeks ago she started limping. Then that foot started to curl and she was walking on it like that. Then about 2 weeks ago I found her on her back trying to get up. So I have had her in...

Thank you for the replies so far. I don't think its mites, but I will take a picture when my DH gets home so he can hold her while I take the photo, and will seven/DE dust her just in case. Here is the info requested. 1) What type of bird , age and weight. Silkie, 4 months, Kind of...

Does anyone have experience with these two issues? I really need to help the one with the white stuff coming from her vent. I am pretty sure she is a girl. It is not egg white, she is still too young to be a layer. It just oozes out. I have given her yogurt and boiled egg smashed up. What...

I had a sillkie chicken, I think it was a male, not 100% sure since it was only about 4 months old. He was in kind of close quarters with its siblings and they started pecking at one another, I think because I was using a white heat lamp instead of red. I switched to red a week ago and they...

Thanks for your help. That helps a lot. I think I will do it at night, that would be much easier, but I will wait until its warmer out since it is freezing here right now. I read the directions but it always helps to have someone who has done it before explain. Thanks again!!!

I have to vaccinate my flock for fowl pox, I purchased the vaccine from Jeffers and have it ready. I was wondering if anyone has a photo that can show me where exactly to prick them under the wing and how deep do I go? I know to avoid bone, muscle, and blood vessels, but where exactly do I...

I updated with pics today on my first entry.

Thank you. I will order all this tomorrow. I will post update and pics tomorrow too. Thank you again!!!! a million times.

Oh, I use watering system where they use the drippers that they lift with their beaks to drink. Do you suggest a worming remedy that is best? I have wazine. The only thing available close by is Tractor supply. I can take those out of commission and put back the standard waterers I had before...

Thank you dlhunicorn. I will do all that first thing in the morning as soon as I can get them from the store. Can I use a general electrolyte/vitamin supplement instead of aviacharge2000 until I can get some in? And also I will do the other items you explained in conjunction. I have some...

I will surely call first thing tomorrow morning and keep her in a crate from now on. I really do not want all my chickens to die. I have 40 chicks (3 months old approx) in the coop next to them (D-uccles and silkies). I would swear off chickens all together if they all died of something.
