I ended up buying 7 chickens from tractor supply 6 of which were easter eggers. One was a bahantam who was week and was given to me as a pair with the sissor beak easter egger.
ive had these chick's for about four days I've lost one suddenly and one on its way out that they gave me free with severe scissor beak. she didn't have an appetite before and now she's just wilting away.
that being said the five of them are doing great... except now...
One is doing some weird stuff that out of four years owning chickens and raising them ive never came acrossed this kind of problem.
I just now noticed this chick doing this not too long ago... she's been chirping nonstop for a few hours, like she's in distress. I'd go in and check on her and she would quiet down but looked fine.
I just noticed these weird circle spells.. and her head twisting. im scared its a disease of some sort... maybe meriks but doesn't seem like it? All tractor supply chick's are supposed to be vaccinated... I understand they can still get it ect. But if thats the case my tractor supply has been giving out diseased chick's? Unless it's some kind of neurological issue... clean bedding clean water and food.
I was reading about wry neck... The scissor beak chick seemed to do this with her head but never in circles Excesivly. She was also missing an eye so would bump into walls... the other four have not been doing this.
She also seems to have trembling legs when I pick her up and hold her. She's been keeping her eyes shut even when walking.
I do not think it's a Thiamine deficiency as they are on roosterbooster which has thiamine in it ect.
Im going to pull the shavings to see if shes allergic
I'm so frustrated right now.
