No longer suffering. That is the good part. Thank you for being strong, from this chicken lover, plus everyone else, I'm sure. It is so hard to watch them suffer.

I know that whatever you find out will be tremendously helpful to those of us who have dealt with similar problems, and those who might in the future. I'm surely sorry though, that anyone has to lose one to gain that information. Be strong, because you are doing the right thing.

I'm so sorry! I know it is never easy, no matter what. Hugs....

This is so sad! But if it hurts you to just watch her trying to survive, you can imagine how it is for her. Having to make decisions like this for any animal you are attached to (or even if you are not...it hurts to see anything hurt)is just horrible. Knowing it is the best is not a lot of...

I'm so sad about your chicken....I get tears in my eyes just thinking about how hard it is when that time comes. Somehow it seems like knowing that you are doing the right thing, just isn't quite enough consolation. It just hurts, period.

Termeric is also found in curry, which I feel sure can be found in the spice section of the grocery store. I wonder how many mg. is recommended. I take it in the form of Curcumin, which I order from a place called VitaCost, I believe. Mine has 527 mg. of termeric. I see the termeric from the...

I agree regarding the advice from those who learned by doing. You guys have helped me out of several scrapes during my chicken adventure, and for that I'm so very grateful!

I guess they are just like people.....one can get someting that none of the others get, even though they have the same food, same environment, etc. I wish we had a chicken vet on staff at BYC!!! Maybe he wouldn't charge too much to be on call for us when we have questions.....wouldn't that be...

Yours was the one that had paralyzed legs and wings wasn't it? What an amazing recovery she made! Mine was not paralyzed....she just lost strength in her legs. But she could still move them. And I guess the Vit. B helped her. She had only been down for just a few days when I started the...

This sure looks like what my hen was doing a couple of months ago. However, after staggering around she gave up and didn't try to run like yours is doing. She was in a cage so she might have tried it if she had been in a larger place, but in the cage when she would try to stand, her legs...

I definitely will keep him in the cage for several days, if he does improve. I don't want him getting injured any more, by the others. He had actually been the "meany" in the group of several roosters. I have never seen him try to mate a female (which doesn't mean that he hasn't) but I have...

I sure hope the Vit. B works. I just feel so bad for these little critters, and for us for getting so emotionally attached! I had to be out several hours this afternoon, and started thinking about my rooster and how much he MIGHT be hurting after the other one attacked him this morning. I had...

I have just put my rooster in a cage by himself, with hay to sit on, food, and water laced with Vit. B. Some of the others are gathered around, wondering what is going on, and trying to get to his food (which is the same food they eat!). He was just hatched this year. Has been big and healthy...

I'm wondering if I have a "here we go again" situation. I have a nice big rooster that I saw was limping badly this week-end. He was walking, but wanting to sit a lot. Left leg juts outward at the joint, so I wondered if it was maybe broken. Surely not. This morning he definitely looks...

I dldn't post a video....I wonder if you are referring to pictures...not video...of chicklvr's chicken sitting on haunches. Post 323. Or maybe there was a video somewhere down the line.

Read about Thiamine deficiency, and mine didn't have those symptoms either. No problems with neck or head, no star gazing, etc. She ate well. On the first day when she was not able to sit at all, I held her in position and let her eat that way. I could hear her smacking as her little beak...

Quote: I googled it too. Many times. Rarely was the symptom 'unbalance' mentioned. Also, my hen was hardly wasting. Yet there it it - right there in the necropsy. She was full of tumors. That's pretty good proof, I'd say Quote: I guess you must mean Thiamin deficiency...? Oh gosh.....what...

What a great thing to hear!! It really is amazing. I googled Lymphoid Leukosis or whatever it was....I've thrown my note away now. Those symptoms didn't go with the way my chicken was acting (after all the TLC I gave her, and since she is a BR, of course her name is Barbara!). So I still...

You have tried about everything there is to try, it sounds like. She must be a very healthy chicken if this has gone on for this long with no other symptoms. I wish I knew the name of whatever this syndrome is that these little things have! I had started another thread about this, but can't...
