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

I guess you must mean Thiamin deficiency...?
Oh gosh.....what a slip up! LOL Yes - I mean thiamin deficiency! Don't know why Lithium popped up in my mind. Good grief!
Of course the tumors is proof enough, and it could be that mine has that too. I still watch her and look for anything that seems abnormal, and the only thing is that I don't think she is laying. But I have several others that don't lay, so I may be looking for trouble where there is none. Time will tell, I know. She came to us right after hatching, and there was another BR in the group. Her sister didn't grow as fast as she did...but of course the eggs may not have come from the same chicken.
Whew. Too many unknowns here!
