    10 mos. barred rock layer hen with sudden neuro signs

    I tried ice the other day and they thourougly ignored it! 🙄 I will try her on the Gatorade. She walks and shows interest in what I am doing and keeping an eye on the cat. She hasn’t gotten worse anyway. 🤞🏼 Thanks!

    10 mos. barred rock layer hen with sudden neuro signs

    I have a Barred Rock hen, about 10 mos old, backyard flock with one other hen. They are confined to a coop at night but range the whole backyard (average size yard) during the day. Multiple water sources. They get layer pellets and a little scratch. Free access to oyster shells and grit. They...

    Ah, well! Looks like my backyard chicken adventure will be much more short-lived than I anticipated! Too bad, I have had a lot of fun getting to know their little personalities and watch them grow.:love

    Yes - the older they get the more I think the same! The barred is the oldest, so maybe got lucky on her.

    Hello BYC! I have decades of experience working with animals, but I am new to chickens. I decided to take on three chicks incubated in a classroom at the school district I work for. They were hatched around the 28th of October. These chickens are "mutts." One appears to be barred rock, one...
