    Chicken with a crooked tail - how should I treat it?

    thank you very much. He is very handsome and sweet, unlike the 2 Seabright bantam roos that were purchased with him. He would drop petals down from my flower boxes on our deck and then call the ladies to them.

    Chicken with a crooked tail - how should I treat it?

    Thank you Is there something I can give him that will fix his tail? It looks uncomfortable to me even though it doesn't appear to affect him yet. It has only been like that for a day though.

    Chicken with a crooked tail - how should I treat it?

    My bantams tail is leaning to one side, but doesn't really look like the one pictured above. Maybe because mine is a rooster. His tail is really tall so I wanted to ask y'all if it is wry tail or just the eight of it? Thank you in advance

    Speckled Sussex Pullets and Cockerels

    We unfortunately had her humanely euthanized due to a developmental issue that affected her legs and she had gotten to where she couldn't walk. After I tried everything I could find on the internet and that vets had suggested, she only got worse. I couldn't stand to see her like that anymore...

    The vet gave it the pain meds because she thought it was in pain when trying to walk. The vitamin B complex does have the riboflavin in it. I made sure before purchasing it. We bought purina chick feed last night to see if it might help. We have used Dumor since we started raising...

    The vet did a fecal as the chick was very happy to plop one on the floor for them just before the vet came into the room.. I don't believe it is Mareks. I really didn't want to go to that vet because when I took my Polish herb there, I could here her I have to admit that I don't agree with...

    Thank you very much for your detailed response. I truly appreciate the fine you took to answer and advise me. I am ok with it being either gender as it is the sweetest chicken I have and I have some really sweet ones. I bought the chick from Rural King on April 14, 2019. There were no...

    What are your thoughts on my 12 or 13 week old Sussex. There aren't any tail feathers. Which was the reason I bought it. It had a bare vent and didn't really walk around and I felt sorry for it. It is the sweetest and laid back chicken I have ever met. It was sold to me as a pullet.

    can you overdose you chickens with vitamin E?

    can you overdose you chickens with vitamin E?

    Thank you. So I see that I can purchase the 400 IU vitamin E at Walmart. Would I just break the capsule and put it and the vitamin B complex on the egg?

    can you overdose you chickens with vitamin E?

    Where would I find the 400 IU softgel and I have no problem giving it cooked egg. I love this chick and just want it to have the best life possible. The poor thing also had curled toes that didn't correct themselves when I made the little shoes for it.

    can you overdose you chickens with vitamin E?

    This post is an older post, but I have the same question. I didn't see a true answer though. I have a chick that has wry neck. I have been giving it the selenium vitamin e ( goat gel) for 2 months now. It has improved but still has symptoms. I give it a pea size drop 2 times a day. It...

    What breed is my bantam?

    I purchased 4 bantam chicks. The only batman chicks I have are silkies. These are not silkies but I have no clue what breed they are. Can anyone help me to determine what I have? I have had them 4 weeks today. None of them have feathered feet. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
