Thank you, Lacrystol.... your tip about the moist food is helping her put the weight back on!!!! These chicks LOVE that!

Well, I'm happy to say that little Jackie did a u-turn yesterday and is on the road to recovery. Hopefully she'll recover in full quickly. Does anyone know if you just stop the vitamins when they're 100% or should I continue for a while afterwards? Thanks for those that helped and offered...

Thank you, Lacrystol. You just gave me hope. When you say "recovery is on the way", how long does recovery actually take? I've been reading and it sounds like some people have done this vitamin routine for 4 months or longer. Has that been your experience as well? Have all of your chicks...

I posted before about my chick (she was 10 days old then) who had no energy and was sleeping a lot. I didn't really get many responses. Since then, she started to have weakness in her neck and her head started to roll to one side. She could barely eat or drink, she was so weak. My DH went to...
