    I’ve read 1/4 tablet of human B complex. Is that not enough? Does size of the chicken matter? How long would you expect it to take to see major improvements?

    Ok, so she did have sour crop. I treated it with probiotics and miconazole by mouth. I’m giving her poultry cell 1ml/day. I think she is stronger, but she can’t get her legs under her. She can move both legs. If it was/is a vitamin deficiency, how long would it take to get her legs back? Am I...

    Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it. Could I ask you for more advice? This is my first flock, she’s a favorite. I’ve nursed a handful of chickens back to health with coccidiosis, sour crop, injury…I’m not ready to give up yet. Also, a vet is not an option. Snowball is...

    I did! She is doing well. It took about 2 weeks. She is back out with the other girls. She has a slight limp, but nothing major that holds her back. 3 (Other) chickens have bumblefoot. I took down some roosts that I now realize they were too high. I have supplies to make a wider ramp

    xterm She doesn’t draw them back or even flinch when I touch or move her legs. Both legs just feel warm—not hot. The one leg has a little softness at the joint (at the bad spot). The other feels completely normal.

    Also, she is alert, not lethargic. She will eat, drink, and poop.
