Here are pics of her legs and a video of her walking

I have this sweet baby that hatched yesterday and doesn't use her leg. She kinda hobbies around. It does not stay laid out behind her but curled up. Is this a slipped tendon I can fix quickly?

If I use permetherin, how do I treat the birds?

I am treating my flock with ivermectin for mites and I know there is a washout period but why? I know people took ivermectin during covid so is it the amount that is different and not good for you? Or is it basically the same and we are just getting the ivermectin through the eggs if we eat them??

I will do the yogurt plan today. I also got electrolytes for their water today and got calcium yesterday and put it in her food. Hoping things start tur ING around.

I have a silkie that I'm not sure exactly how old she is but over a year. I bought her as an adult hen and have had her for about 3 months at least. She has always been a faithful layer since I have had her without any issues at all. Last week or the week before she laid like 3 soft eggs. I...

That's what I thought and planned to do but wanted to make sure I'm not being weird. So I just wanted someone to confirm my thoughts on the not eating and not fertilized. I just hatched a baby from a friend's flock but I didn't candle her until like day 10 so I wanted confirmation on that as...

I have 2 eggs that I thought might be fertilized. I popped them in the incubator on Sunday. This is where they are. I'm thinking not fertilized, but I am new to having a roo and eating eggs with a roo around. Anyway... could I eat them if I have had them in the incubator for 5 days? Just not...

Still waiting on the test results but still having small eggs and wet poop. She seems and acts fine. Eggs are tiny but she is laying every other day ish. Poop has more "substance" but still no form and lots of liquid with the substance. I cracked the egg and this one didn't have a yolk but the...

Getting a stain and float today but adding to this debacle, these are the eggs she has been laying. First was 10/22 then the next day and then I THINK she laid a normal one and the furthest right was today. Poop got better and worse again.

Dumor I think it's called. I do pellets and then they free range all day every day

I have a 1.5yo barred rock that hasn't really been laying for a few months now (that I know of. I have only one other chicken and I get an egg every few days and sometimes can go a week or more without an egg but I"m pretty sure it is not the barred rock laying). She has been sleeping int he...

My girl is back up and walking around but is still off. She just lays down a lot in they yard. I looked into it and I'm wondering if it is botulism? AE? My issue with botulism is the repeated signs after "getting better". From what I am reading, it looks like she would have eaten something and...

I am attaching pics of her as well as the other so you can see the difference in sizes maybe.

I have a 1yo Americauna that is underweight and has been for a while. She eats well (they are free range and we offer layer crumble as well) while free ranging but I haven't paid attention enough to watch her eating. She laid as recently as yesterday. A couple months ago, my husband found her...
