how did you treat her legs??  can I see a pic of her legs??

Maybe pick up some Blue Kote instead of using neosporen.

yep that's what I thought, they need to have a red light so they will not pick on the other chicks.    what kind of food are you giving them??? what is the % in the food??

This thread never sleeps!! there is always someone on here lol hide.gif any ways, a red heat lamp is good to have, it does not stimulate them as much as white light, so they wont be running around and pecking each other. The red glow of the lamp helps calm them down, giving them enough light to see, but not enough to make them crazy Good luckthumbsup.gif

 

 

Chickens are very addicting droolin.gif , everyone here is a chicken addict yippiechickie.gif, people may look at you weird when you tell them, but its way better to be addicted to chickens then all the other stuff out there.............

What is blue cote? Never used that before. I heard of using the neo in conjunction with minute amt of Vicks rub, heard they hate the taste

If the red heat lamp doesn't help, you might isolate the one you think is causing the problem for a few days.  He should loose his place in the "pecking" order.  (I know, bad pun!)  Good Luck.
