    Chick is having balance issues

    If it was Marek's, wouldn't she be getting progressively worse and not better?

    Chick is having balance issues

    Video from yesterday. She had a couple of bad balance days, which I feel happens more when I've found that she's flipped upsidedown it gotten stuck on her side in the hutch and slept like that. Last night when I checked on her after dark, to make sure she was sleeping with her feet under her...

    Chick is having balance issues

    I will have to try to get a video. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to separate her very well at the moment. She gets noticably upset about it and it agitates her sister. The adults are currently acclimating to the 5 new buffs and 2 pols (one is a target ineffective roo, but our big roo...

    Chick is having balance issues

    I thought I'd share an update. I ordered a B complex vitamin and added some of the CBD oil to it so she only had to have one dropper in her face in the morning. I was only giving her 1 drop every morning and started to give her a few drops each time. We've tapped her toes flat 3 times total, but...

    Chick is having balance issues

    I haven't purchased it yet, but I'll grab a bottle of B complex instead. I've found some in liquid form with a dropper as I don't think we will be able to get her to eat solo on a daily basis. I'm not certain that is it either. She can move her toes just fine and keeps them spread out, unless...

    Chick is having balance issues

    Kinda. We have 5 buff Orpingtons and 2 polish (one is a young roo, the other is questionable) that we are currently integrating outside. We have them in a 10x13 run butted up against our 3 adult barred rocks 6x10 run. Hopefully they will be one flock by the beginning of next week. These 2 barred...

    Chick is having balance issues

    I haven't gotten a picture or video just yet (summer cold with a vengeance!), but the wife picked her up and spent some time with her today and feels like it may be more like an involuntary spasm. When she was holding her, she said the chick would randomly grasp with one for or the other...

    Chick is having balance issues

    I could get a picture, but she keeps her legs under her like normal. She's never been observed to kick them out to both sides, nor behind her. She had been seen before, when younger, to have both out to one side, but would pull them both back under herself and lay normally if given a little...

    Chick is having balance issues

    Brand new here and just finished up my intro post. I've been a lurker for the past year, which is the entire time we have had chickens. We have 3 Barred Rocks, 2 hens and a roo. One of the hens went broody and ended up with 3 eggs that all hatched. The first chick disappeared from the coop/run...

    Newbie Intro

    Ok, so my wife and I aren't total newbies, but we've only had 3 chickens for a year at this point, but we are tripling our backyard flock this year! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? First got chickens a year ago (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 3 one...
