Haha! I am pretty sure they showed their daughter pictures of the house when they were considering it, and requested the coop on behalf of their daughter. You're right though... we would not have wanted to move that coop! I cannot imagine how difficult it was to get that done.

Welcome to BYC! I hope that you find a home quickly for your girls! I would take them all (I've been looking for most of those breeds in particular), but live too far away. :(

Update on Bernese: She is doing MUCH better already! I swear I saw a difference the next day even though I knew it took a couple of days, but I am glad for any change in the way she was feeling before she was getting what she needed. She is running, standing, and can get away from me now when I...

Yes, and she's drinking it up! Thank you!

I went to the natural food store and the feed and garden center we get our dog and cat food from, and got everything they need... the RIGHT things this time. I got plain 100mg niacin and brewers yeast as well. I also changed their food to a flock grower to make sure it is unmedicated. So, I'll...

Unbelievable!! I called the hatchery where I got the ducklings and asked him if he had niacin or brewers yeast in stock yet and he asked me why I needed it so I told him what was going on with Bernece and he said to bring her in and he would just swap her out with another one. I told him that...

I am sure that if someone looked close enough... they would see smoke coming from my ears from all of the learning I've done in the last four days. I am exhausted, but determined to have happy and healthy babies. This is a road block and a good life lesson, but patience, understanding, hard...

In previous comments it said to get flush free or no flush niacin. I'm going out again to get more supplies to separate the ducklings from the chicks, so I'll get something just for them (feed, brewers yeast, niacin, vitamin suppliant). Six one way... half a dozen the other, right?

Or should I just do the entire capsule so she gets enough.

Okay, I found this at Walmart in the next town over. It is 400mg Niacin, so quarter capsule per gallon?

No I don't, and I looked for b3 and don't have any of that either, and nothing is open I've only had her for 3 days... I'll go early in the morning and get what she needs. I feel terrible!

Picture of the new duckling, but when I just went out to take it... I found Bernese on her back unable to flip over on her own... So I flipped her over and she ran (very bowleggedly) to where she is in the picture. What does THAT mean?

Excellent! I cannot thank everyone enough!! Tomorrow morning they will be getting what they need.

It says on the package to "dissolve the yeast in 1 third cup of cooled boiled water leave 15 minutes without stirring then mix well to suspend all yeast add immediately to brew". Is that considered a spent brew then? Man this is confusing... haha! I think I'll go to the health food store and not...

Okay, I went to the hatchery and now have a little friend for Bernese and two Silkies (our flock is now one dozen instead of only 5... Chicken math, right? Lol!). I took Orca5094's advice and kind of confused everyone by separating them up in boxes (3 in each box) while I cleaned their brooding...

I am planning on a complete enclosure. We have hawks, coyotes, raccoons, and our cat is probably where the mountain loin dreams are coming from. We also have bulldogs who think the chicks look like the best squeaky toy EVER, so we have no choice and taking no chances on building the most...

Will do. Thank you so much for your help and advice! I greatly appreciate it!!

Okay, I'll make sure I get the right Niacin and post pictures of the whole flock. I just got them all on St. Patrick's Day (from two different hatcheries) will they still be so territorial at that age and such a short time together? I can definately separate them if needed.

Here are Bernese's legs (I hope they upload... this is from my phone), I will be getting Niacin or Brewers Yeast TODAY, and another Pekin friend for her (we're going to the hatchery for a couple of Silkies as well). I would like to add that she runs like the Dickens to get under the light (but...
