    Vitamin Deficiency?

    Thank you for all that info! I’ve not yet tried deworming and I just started the corid treatment today. Can/should I do both at the same time or wait and see if the corid drench & treatment work before trying to deworm? I’ll see how she does back with her ladies. Im guessing I should I treat...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    My girl has been sitting in the corner of her large bin w/o moving all day so far. I haven’t seen her eat or drink and her crop is still flat. Here are a couple pictures of her poop. She is getting corrid treatment. I also syringed her 2.5ml of water this morning because I was afraid she wasn’t...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    Yes, crop felt flat/empty this morning. I didn’t start treating for coccidiosis yesterday because I remember you saying I should cut out the extra Thiamin…and I had already given her some yesterday morning so I thought I’d wait. I’ll start the coccidiosis treatment today. I’ll make sure...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    She seems the same today, not moving around much, just huddled up. She only had a little poop and it looked exactly the same as the last pictures I posted, normal. I’m pretty sure she’s stopped eating. Is there anything us there anything I can do about that? I’m hesitant to put her back with...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    I was able to feel them tonight in all of my healthy hens, full and firm. Then I checked my sick girl and I couldn’t feel it, which probably means it’s empty. Other than the tiny amount of feed mixed with yogurt and vitamins I gave her this morning I don’t think she ate. She’s been separated for...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    I’ve never dewormed her. All but one hen came from TSC last spring. The other hen came from a local seller and has been with my original flock from the start. Her poop has been worn free (to my eye) so far? Could they be inside her never making their way through her poop?

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    Ok, thanks. The frequency of her head twitching has picked back up to how often I was seeing it yesterday. She’s puffed up and lying on the wet ground. I tried feeling her crop but I’ve never done this before so I had a really hard time finding it. I tried finding the crop on my other girls...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    Yes, this is definitely not normal behavior for her. I didn’t check her crop this morning. Should I check it now and what am I hoping it feels like? I was able to giver her some more vitamins (mixed in with a very small amount of yogurt and feed). She ate it all. But now that she back with...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    Oh, ok. I put her back and she definitely seems abnormal. The others were pecking at her a bit when I first brought her back, which is probably to be expected since she was separated for almost 24 hrs. It’s raining out and she came to hid under me (I was squatting down by the covered part of...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    I also feed them meal worms regularly. We don’t often feed them table scraps… it’s been a least a few weeks since I gave them anything other than flock feed and meal worms. 6 of 9 are laying and I’m sure the others are following soon. I’ve already topped off their feed holder with layer pellets...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    No, I first noticed her head twitch through my kitchen window (I can see the run from my kitchen window and I often watch them from inside the house). It was very noticeable from inside because she was doing it much more frequently yesterday. I’m going to let her go back with her girls and I’ll...

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    Thanks for your advice. Initially I wasn’t sure if my girl had a parasite or disease that could easily be spread to the rest of the flock so I was cautious and separated her. They are just finishing up the last bag of purina flock feed (I had layers and non layers).

    Vitamin Deficiency?

    So she doesn’t seem to be molting. But this is my first time having a flock of chickens and this is their first fall/winter coming up (we got them all last spring). To be honest, none of them seem to be molting but the weather has been unseasonably warmer than usual (not sure if that would slow...
