    Wry neck? Worms? Impacted crop? I'm so confused!

    Thank you, I guess I will try the multi-vitamin approach. I am not a rooster keeper, I let my broody hatch someone's fertile eggs and ended up with "Mr. Cutie" (named by a 4 year old). There is no way I can be feeding him every 1/2 hour, is there still hope? Hayley

    Wry neck? Worms? Impacted crop? I'm so confused!

    Thanks for the thoughtful response, I think now his crop is soft because he can't get any food in there! I'm going to try the vitamins. I bought some Vit E, having a hard time getting him to eat because of the crazy head wobble. We are in AZ so the temps are ok, but I've got him in a garage...

    Wry neck? Worms? Impacted crop? I'm so confused!

    This poor little roo is suffering! At first he just started stumbling like he was drunk, on examination his neck seems arched and his crop is soft. The hens started pecking his head so I sprayed it. I've been researching but not making much progress. He's so sad to look at, I'm wondering if...

    My broody hen's eyes are crusted shut!

    Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I guess I have to find out what mites look like! Other signs for respiratory disease would be coughing and sneezing? Hayley

    My broody hen's eyes are crusted shut!

    The chicks are due today and have already pipped, I just noticed her eyes are crusty. I've put eye ointment in but I'm wondering if she is sick and if I should take the babies away when they hatch? Is crusty eyes a broody thing ever? Thanks, Hayley

    My chicken's foot is missing!

    Ugh! We had a predator get a chicken and wound another chicken's foot. We then had to go out of town and when we came back the foot was gone! We did have a coyote get another hen over the weekend but I'm almost wondering if the other hens in the run were pecking at the wound, is that possible...

    What type of Maran is this Little Roo?

    Ok, good to know, a woman locally is breeding. I was supposed to have one blue, one splash and one olive egger. One of them died so I have these two but they don't really fit the description. This one is getting some copper peeking out. It's interesting that you think it might be poor...

    Frizzy Feathers! No one seems to know what's going on with my flock!

    Hello! I had 8 chickens about 8 months old in a coop that I converted from a horse stall of a mare motel. They were happy beautiful and thriving until about 2 months ago their feathers started getting frizzy. They have lost their tails and a couple of them have chunks of feathers missing. It...
