    Wry neck?...

    She can move her legs and wings. Sometimes she gets a little fiesty when I'm holding her, and flaps her wings and stands up. Yesterday she started grabbing my finger and her feet were more extended, versus the day before where her feet were limp. Her neck is twisted completely upside down and it...

    Wry neck?...

    Oh no :( I change their water once a day and only give them enough food for one day, so unless the food was moldy in the bag, there shouldn't be an issue with feed/water. My ducks make the water dirty after 5 seconds of it being fresh, but that isn't anything new. Her crop was really full...

    Wry neck?...

    I have never heard of that, thank you! She seems to fit the description really well, but I don’t know where she would’ve came into contact with the fungus. All my chickens/ducks are eating the same feed and the others are fine (they actually just started laying again from a period where they...

    Wry neck?...

    I left Thursday to go on vacation and came back Sunday. My cousin took care of my chickens while I was gone. I changed their feed (different brand, crumble instead of pellets, still 16% layer) the day I left. Thursday was the fourth day I had been giving them ~2 tbsp of amprolium in their water...

    Dewormed... still not laying?

    I have had them a little over a month. I am feeding them layer pellets. I am in western KY. Attached is a photo of my hens, and a photo of their poop the morning after given the wormer. You can see roundworms in the photo. When worming them, one chicken ate a piece of bread with the divided...

    Dewormed... still not laying?

    Two of my three laying hens suddenly stopped laying a little over two weeks ago (before that they were laying great). Their behavior didn't change much except they were very quiet, and I noticed they seemed skinny. Last Wednesday, I dewormed them with Ivermectin paste. They seemed to feel much...

    Ivermectin paste - second dose?

    I gave each of my chickens a bit of ivermectin paste when I suspected they had worms. The next day, worms were all in their poo, and they seemed to feel significantly better! It has been a couple days since, and they seem normal now. Should I give them a second dose of the wormer? Also, I'm not...

    Ivermectin paste, roundworms, clean-up, and a first-time chicken keeper!

    Thank you. I will keep them in their fenced in area for a while. They love to explore the whole yard, so I hate to not let them, but I also hate for them to get sick.

    Ivermectin paste, roundworms, clean-up, and a first-time chicken keeper!

    Hello all. I am a first-time chicken keeper. I have 3 orpington hens who are just over a year old and 3 speckled sussex hens who are about six months old. I got all of them about a month ago; I got the orpingtons from one person, and the speckled sussex from another. The speckled sussex hens...

    Hello :)

    I have been reading from this website ever since getting my chickens, but am just now creating an account. I currently have 3 speckled sussex hens and 3 orpingtons. I live with my parents in western KY. I spend much of my free time with my chickens and love to be outside.
