Quote: Yes she is! And she's pleased as punch that she can strut her stuff once again! I'm sure she's grateful to you for all you did for her. Sorry for your loss, chickenlvr. Keep us posted.

Quote: Uh-oh! That sounds ALL TOO FAMILIAR! I know exactly what you mean. I've found some things in life to be very frustrating because of these qualities. But - I wouldn't change a thing... And now I'm off to fix my own broken things...fences! At least there's no emotion involved with that! : )

Quote: Poor, poor thing. So sad, but it is probably best. At least you know you did everything you could for her...and I'm sure she knows it too. It's very heartbreaking.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure you'll make the right decision when the time comes - no matter what you decide. Won't they do a necropsy if she passes away on her own? I know this is very hard for you...it's never easy. That, unfortunately, is the sad part about keeping animals. Keep us posted -...

Any info, chickenlvr?

Any news, chickenlvr?

Quote: I highly doubt the vet will be available at 7:00 in the evening. I'm sure those folks are busy and it may take a few tries before you reach someone. It's something you would probably want to start on during morning hours. It's your hen, and it's not my place to tell you what to do...

Quote: Obviously her not laying is another symptom that she is sick. The keel bone: run your hand down the front of her body from the neck going down. About half way between her abdomen and her neck, you should feel the keel bone. I think it's what separates the breasts. It's a large flat...

You want to get probiotics (yogurt) into her after you give antibiotics. A few days of it now certainly won't hurt. Her weight loss would concern me. Can you feel her keel bone? Is it prominent? Does her abdomen seem large? Maybe you can give her a little extra something to fatten her up a...

Quote: You might want to give yogurt for a couple of days since antibiotics mess up the system. Not that it will fix the big problem. What about her appetite and her poop?

Quote: No - I don't think anyone will think that. You're doing great! Like I said, your posts have been mature and logical. Are you keeping up with B vitamins? What else? Yogurt? Turmeric? Is she still eating, drinking and pooping fine? Are you anywhere near Hayesville? Let us know how it...

Quote: My first batch of chicks hatched in April and I had my first egg in August. You said she just became a hen...how old is she? My first hen died of LL in 2008 - so she must have been 2 years old. The others were about 4-5. I don't really understand the DNA link - I guess it's a retro...

Quote: I'm sorry - I just have to laugh! I had no idea you were a teenager! You sound very mature in your posts! : ) I'm just afraid that if you email them they will possibly ignore it. Maybe just start by making some calls to first find out "WHO is the NC state poultry veterinarian, and how...

Quote: I would call them all until I find out which vet you can talk to. Email might get lost in the shuffle. Once you've spoken with someone THEn send them a link to your video - that says so much. You may not get any answers at all, but I can'tstress enough what a great help the GA vet has...

Quote: I don't think the whole flock will succumb. It's my understanding that all chickens have it - it's in their DNA - that's what the state vet said. I started out with 24 hens in spring of '06, then got 24 more in '07. I'm down to 15 now. I would guess that 25 were not due to disease, but...

For the folks on this thread with young chicks suffering from imbalance, etc. - is this a possibility? Chickenlvr97 - there are other diseases listed in this article you might want to research. Hope this helps. By the way - I lost another hen to Lymphoid Leukosis yesterday - at least that's...

Quote: I am not an expert, but in the video, she does not look like she's having a seizure at all. She looks like she wants to walk, attempts to walk and then loses control of her legs. They aren't supporting her and she loses control. I would guess it's a disease that is causing neurological...

Quote: That's a good idea. This is such a long post, I've forgotten. How old is your hen and have you been giving her the super doses of vitamin b?

Quote: Yep Quote: yep Quote: totally agree. IMO these younger chickens probably don't have LL. The older gals, however....
