    second season of neck bobbing and crop extension

    Wanted to let all know, how my difficulties with the crop issues worked out. Unfortunately they didn't. My Wyandotte didn't make it. CowCreekGeek you were right, No matter what I tried, this time she wouldn't rally! The vet and I just couldn't let her suffer anymore. She was slowly...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND DUMB GUN LAWS

    Sorry TallChickMagnet, somehow I don't see The Washington Post, as a neutral source, for information in this issue. I'd trust the FBI figures more, and last I checked they showed that when the bad guys don't know whose got guns, they go somewhere else, to commit their crimes. Lot's of good...

    Strange head shaking and bobbing

    Reading about the neck bobbing, I have a hen doing that as well. I'm new to the site, could you refer me to where I can learn about neck rubbing treatment? Why the ACV? My hen is also sluggish and not eating. Thanks for the info!

    Sick pullet won't eat/ is lethargic

    So sorry you lost your girl! I lost one just a few days ago, and have another not doing good. There were no symptoms on the one I lost, was fine at night - dead the next morning. Not so with the ill bird, some of the same symptoms, yours had. Not eating lethargic, but stretches her neck up...
