    Adult Hen and Possible Vitamin B Deficiency

    realsis, started the riboflavin yesterday along with the b. i also got some vitamin e pearls. how much did you give your chicken? since the vitamin e is not an adipose tissue vitamin, i would imagine too much could more damage than good. she's still hanging in there and when we took her out this...

    Adult Hen and Possible Vitamin B Deficiency

    realsis, thank you so much. This morning she seems to have lost the use of the right led again. Are there any additional vitamins or antibiotics I should give her?

    Adult Hen and Possible Vitamin B Deficiency

    It could be nerve damage I suppose. She's just been perfectly wonderful until last Thursday, no signs of anything before then. She was lsying like a champ as well. Is there anything else I can do or give her to help her get back on her foot?

    Adult Hen and Possible Vitamin B Deficiency

    Perhaps I worded the subject line incorrectly. My Hen is Walking Strangely. When she walks, she picks her right leg up really high before setting it down, then leans back on her "elbow" before picking it up really high again, and so forth. We've been giving her super b and had her in the house...

    Adult Hen and Possible Vitamin B Deficiency

    Last Wednesday, my husband noticed our 16 month old Australorp hen limping on her right leg. On Thursday morning, I found her, away from the rest of the girls in a corner with her head down. It's been pretty hot here and I thought it might be heat exhaustion (we've been running a mister, a fan...

    Black copper maran has bald patch on her neck

    We have five hens in a backyard coop. They free range during the day. For the past few months only the BCM had a bald streak on the right side of her neck. I noticed this morning that some of the new feather tips on the breast have white tips. She is eating well, laying well and otherwise seems...

    Naked Neck - Roo or Pullet?

    I'm not sure on the mix. We purchased him from a gentlemen in Poetry, TX who has several breeds running about. I agree, he is a beauty! Any ideas on the mix? Karen

    Naked Neck Roo Needs a Great Home in the DFW Area

    He's affectionate, friendly and very curious. He's about 16 weeks old. His name was "Lydia". We're in Richardson (near Dallas) and would love for someone to adopt this wonderful guy! Thank so much! Karen Cleek

    Naked Neck - Roo or Pullet?

    Oh well, I was afraid of that. So, does anyone know someone in the DFW area (or surrounding areas). That would love a wonderfully, friendly, affectionate, beautiful boy? Karen

    Naked Neck - Roo or Pullet?

    We have a second naked neck as well. She's definitely a pullet as she's been laying eggs for about two weeks. A steady one day. We're very proud of her as she's the first of our girls to lay. She is larger than the Lydia but I am afraid you're probably correct in that Lydia is a roo. NNs are...

    Naked Neck - Roo or Pullet?

    I'm afraid I already know the answer but I would appreciate any guesses! To picture is of the saddle feathers (I think), second one is of "Lydia's" face. Lydia is about 16-18 weeks old. Thank you! -karen

    DFW Hello and Got Two Free Roos!

    Hello everyone. Sadly, I found out earlier today that my frizzled bar and my frizzled easter egger are, indeed, roos. I need to find a happy home for them both. I'm in Richardson (DFW metroplex). Please let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks! -karen

    roos or pullets?

    Gee thanks, Rachel! Why yes, they do have awesome earring sorting abilities and impeccable personal hygiene! I have tried, several times, re: the mascot thing, never goes over too well with management; but with co-workers, different story. Perhaps I'll just hide them in the neighbor's bushes...
