Thanks I will have to give that a try!

My hen was very sick and has been moved into a stall away from the rest of my flock. She has been away from them for over a month and now that she is well I tried to put her back in the chicken yard with the other 15 and they all went after her. I immediately took her out and put her back in...

That's great! Were you able to find the nutri drench and antibiotics ok or did you try something else? My Ellie was out in the yard with me yesterday and she was literally running behind me. She is doing so well. It's amazing how they bond with you after you nurse them back to health, pretty...

So sorry to hear that I was hoping she would pull thru.

No I didn't treat her for splay leg, I'm not sure what that is. My chicken was walking then one day not. It seemed to be a vitamin deficiency maybe or a bacteria. I'm have no idea what your chicken has but I know what worked for mine with what seems to be similar symptoms.

I had a very sick chicken that couldn't walk a couple weeks ago and after giving her some vitamin and electrolytes in addition to 10 days of antibiotics she is on the road to recovery. Fortunately both of these products were very inexpensive, each one was about $6 at my local farm store. I...

Hi there, I have a 3 month old chicken that was unable to walk or balance. I have a post just a couple of posts down with the title "my chicken couldn't walk two weeks ago now she can...". The info in this post might help you, sounds very similar to what I and another BYC member experienced...

I almost forgot, I also bought another vitamin/electrolyte product to give to the rest of my flock. This was just a powder that you mix in the water that came in a foil-packet. It was inexpensive and made for more commercial use so it would last you a long time. If you are experiencing the...

The product I bought was called "Nutri Drench" for poultry. Mine came in s 4 oz bottle with an eyedropper dispenser. You can give it directly into her mouth without diluting it for "rapid results". I also put it in her water. I do think this helped but in my hen I believe it was the...

cindylo- I really think our chickens do have the same thing, whatever it is. I had to wash her a couple of times too cause she soiled herself pretty badly. The farm store that I went to I initially got her a vitamin and electrolyte liquid that I gave her at a very high concentrate. This one...

Wow! Your post sounds exactly like the one I just posted. My chicken did the exact same thing but antibiotics are pulling her out of it. I have the same question, is this Marek's and shes doomed anyway or is she on the road to recovery? It sounds like Mareks but would she be getting better...

Several weeks ago I had a chicken that looked drunk at times then one morning I found her in the coop laying on her side with her legs off to the side while the other chickens walked on her. I have 16 total all between 3-4 months old. I separated her from the rest of the flock and went to the...
