@Mr Beaks For both of these girls, it started before the molt. I just started a general electrolyte/vitamin supplement in the water. Im sure they would all benefit from it.

@Texas Kiki @Tesumph Got a video of her walking/eating/going back into the coop. Shes not really limping any more but you can how she isnt really sure-footed. New video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/46b6ulcwz410ib1/Video Sep 17, 6 56 31 PM.mov?dl=0

Ok, went back out and she moved down to the nesting box where I could take a video. Hopefully the link below works. Let me know what you think after seeing it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gj8rxcstcx2bv5c/Video%20Sep%2017%2C%206%2045%2011%20PM.mov?dl=0

Just went out to take a video and they have gone in for the night. Shes up on the roost now and calmer. I started the electrolyte/vitamin water. Cant hurt at this point. I will see I can a poo from her in the morning and have it looked at. She does seem to be pretty skinny. Could be worms I...

@Texas Kiki Yes I know our local vet can test for us. Benefits of being in a small agricultural town on the coast! Definitely no moldy feed. Its keep in airtight containers And the feeder only hold a few days' worth. Have not had to treat for coccidiosis or any other illnesses.

@Texas Kiki I have been reading on mareks and i just dont think the symptoms quite fit. She was out just a few minutes ago walking about and trying to get some scratch. @slordaz The last I heard on Newcastle was it was still pretty far south of us. We also dont have any contact with outside...

Hi All, I have not checked for worms (not sure how to?) but they dont seem to have mites or lice. No skin or feather issues. The sick ones are not heavier than the others. Probably lighter due to being sick and not eating as much. Today the wyandotte seems to have worsened and is now turning...

Bump

I JUST posted the exact same thing!! How weird. Hopefully we can help solve this together!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are no respiratory symptoms. No sneezing, coughing, discharge etc. Poops are fairly regular, maybe a tad runny.

I have a mystery on my hands and I'm hoping the collective knowledge of the BYC community can help! I'll try to provide as much pertinent info as possible without going overboard... Background: We have been backyard flock keepers for the better part of 10 years. We are on our third flock and...

Alright Ya'll, I invested in 8 Americauna chicks about 3 months ago. All were supposed to hens BUT... i got one rooster. So, I am weighing my options. So far, he is crowing and has barely started to grow his spurs. My main question is when will he be able to start fertilizing eggs?? this is...

Hi All, i have had 3 episodes of eggbound hens in the last 3 months. I know this condition happens, but that seems FAR too frequent to me. So far, each episode has ended happily with the poor girl passing the egg the next day. I have studied up on how to treat an eggbound chicken - so, I'm not...

hello all, thanks for all your help with this. our little girl has pull through!!!! she passed her egg this afternoon and was delighted to tell the world about it - i think she squawked for half an hour. she seems to be doing fine now. doing all the normal chicken things. she is still a little...

So i want to start raising quail but not sure how to go about it. have had chickens for some time now and am wondering what the differneces are. ive been told that quail dont free-range and that they must be kept in their cages. so, what do the cages look like? how many can stick in there and...

i have a 4 1/2 month old pullet. not sure what bread it is but im starting to think its something in the bantam group because she is still so tiny. anywho, she has got some boogers and sneezes quit a bit. i'll be going to the feed store later today to stock and need to know what to look for...

Im now thinking that shes eggbound. she was the only one that didnt lay today. she has layed everyday for the last 2 weeks. i think i might be able to feel an egg in her belly but im not sure. i just dont know enough. it feels like it could be an egg but i cant feel much more than the first 1/4...

hi guys, she seems to be going in cycles. when we first found her this afternoon, she wasnt looking good at all, basically she looked like she was half an hour away from death. then, miraculously she's up and walking around and eating and drinking. doing everything a chicken should do. she...

thanks for responding everyone. i did feel her crop and it is normal. i dont use any kind of pesticides so we can rule that out. she seems to be walking a little better now and is eating. i dont provide grit, i though that since they are all free range they could easily get enough from...
