they did A bunch of bloodwork but did give her a steroid shot and within a few hours her head was straight and normal hoping just inflammation. They said not Marek’s. But suspected an imbalance or parasite so will know Monday or Tuesday but already she is back to normal and eating
No new chickens have been introduced. Have our same 3. None of the others having any issues. Will get some pics when I get home. Do you just crush the vitamins and put in water and a syringe (sorry I hardly ever have sick chickens and this is new for me)
I can take a pic when I get home. Her poop is a little green but she enjoys the grass. She has never really been that much of an egg layer she is about at the year they stop. I feed her an organic layer feed (been feeding it to all the chickens all their lives). She is 4-5 years old. She is a...
My Australorp all of a sudden last night became unbalanced and had her head turned towards the back. I noticed that one of her eyes is wide open the other almost closed (Both are clear no infection). She was fine yesterday running around. What are your thoughts? I gave some Vet Rx in her water...
