I had to make one of the hardest decisions, but today Yin suffers no more. She has been struggling with this for 3 weeks now and even though she seemed like she had good days, overall there was no improvement. I let her visit her flockmates, and she was unresponsive. Her "sister", Yang that she...
Still no new improvement. She still stands and grooms, but I feel that she is probably only doing these now that she's in the warm house. She still will not eat on her own, no matter what is offered. Ugh! Just when i think it's improvement, she's just not getting better.

I started treating a week ago. Today she just seems like shes getting worse. It wouldn't surprise me if she got trauma to the head from one of the slw hens she's with, they've hated the 2 ee since the day i put them
In there coop. It took a good couple months, but they always make sure they show...
Last week I posted that my hen had wry neck. I started treating with vitamin e oil, but after 2 days switched to the vit e gel caps as i was told the oil wasn't pure E. I have been giving her electrolytes and acv in her water, the first couple days she could drink on her own. I have been syringe...
