    4 week old chick cannot walk

    Actually, I didn't update, because I didn't get much response, but a few days after I posted this, she started supporting her own weight and walking more, and as of a few days ago, she is back in the coop with the other chickens! I was worried that the mama hen wouldn't accept her back after 2...

    4 week old chick cannot walk

    Any other ideas? I hate to cull her, but I will have to if I can't find a way to help her stand on her own.

    4 week old chick cannot walk

    Thanks - it's definitely not pasty butt. She is older and her vent is clean. And she is pooping normally. I thought it might be a vitamin deficiency, but I've been treating her for a week with no change.

    4 week old chick cannot walk

    This is my first time posting this type of thread, so I will just answer the questions. 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) This is a 4 week old black australorp pullet. She is tinier than the other chicks hatched at the...

    What's with your user name? And what about that avatar?

    My user name is because I used to work in the education department of a zoo, and now my whole life is a zoo - with 4 active kids, a couple pets, and now chickens. My avatar is my cat and chickens staring each other down through the front door.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    OK, I have to share my excitement, as well as a funny picture. First, we finally had our first egg, and we ended up with two first eggs on the same day! One of my barred rocks laid her first on Monday, and not to be outdone, around 4 in the afternoon, a black australorp laid her first egg as...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Welcome to the thread! :) As of right now, I'm not looking for roosters, but maybe someone will be interested. I realized today that I am pretty sure at least one of my hens is not a pure barred rock, and one may not be a pure black australorp. One of the barred rocks has a lot of extra white...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    You won't believe this, but while I was on vacation, I fed my 8 month old a scrambled egg, and it turns out she is severely allergic! An ambulance ride and a shot of benedryl later, she is doing well, but we have strict orders to avoid feeding her anything with egg in it, and ALSO for me to...
