Thank you for the extra information. It did help cause I would have never ever thought of chickens having scoliosis. Also, Chirpy is okay he been a little strange these past couple of days. I don't what wrong with him but he is eating and drinking so I'm sure he'll be okay. It could be the...
Chirpy was hatched like that. You see I had a hen go broody and I was new to the chicken life. I learn when I was little not to bother a bird or any baby animal cause the mom could abandon it. Well, she had made a nest about 50 yards way from the house. I monitor her the first couple weeks...
Chripy is now back to his normal as he can be. Crowing, mocking, and chasing. I stop the cracked corn everything seems to be well. The cracked corn I'm investigating.

Hi, I'm glad that she is doing a little bit better. I'm sorry that she and you are going through this. She sounds like my chirpy. My advise is to try making a mash of "rooster booster" by just adding water to the pellets and see it helps or try making a fine ground scrambbled eggs and top it off...
Well, the pic he's my special rooster. He is the one that had the limber neck and made it through because of the ideas I found on this site. I've thought about breeding but haven't really had the spark to try. Mainly b/c of what happen with the rooster that is my profile picture. His dad was...
