    10 week old light Sussex exhibits jerky head movements and seems unwell - what to do?

    when would they be vaccinated? I got her at a week old and did not know about having to do any vaccinations, but if that would be done earlier, the breeder might have done so. I’ll ask. Will get some vitamin e and b complex from the pharmacy and try that.

    10 week old light Sussex exhibits jerky head movements and seems unwell - what to do?

    And here a video from that head movement. Jerky head moves Also, when she ate, whilst I before said she had a straight neck then, she didn’t all the time, she actually seems to have the neck mostly bent then towards the right too. She went for a snooze on her roosting bar, that looked as...

    10 week old light Sussex exhibits jerky head movements and seems unwell - what to do?

    Oh and her poop was normal too. When I got my phone to take a picture, she stepped into it though and it wasn’t a perfect little Mount any longer…

    10 week old light Sussex exhibits jerky head movements and seems unwell - what to do?

    I rinsed the eye and gave her scrambled egg. The eye doesn’t have visible damage and every now and then she uses it normally. She does seem to favour her neck bent towards the right, however, when she was eating it was straight down. Yes, she is a bit unbalanced and tumbles somewhat. Yesterday...

    Oh and yes, I recently switched from starter crumble to feeding Milne‘s grower feed, the brand the breeder recommends.

    10 week old light Sussex exhibits jerky head movements and seems unwell - what to do?

    We inspected her for parasites, looks clear, nothing in her head, under the wings etc. the vent area is clean too, not swollen or red, but just looks normal and the crop seems normal too. I had contacted the breeder yesterday as well and send them a video. They suggested to better switch from...

    10 week old light Sussex exhibits jerky head movements and seems unwell - what to do?

    Hello there and merry Christmas from Australia. I just went to get my chickens in from their free ranging time and noticed that my ten week old light Sussex exhibits odd head movements every now and then and also seems to tumble and generally unwell. I got her in to have a proper look at her and...

    9 week old Light Sussex - gender?

    Here some pictures of Trudie, the only Light Sussex chick in my flock and 9 weeks old. Not having another of the same breed to compare with, makes it quite hard for me to make up my mind, if I’ve got a pullet or a cockerel. Trudie developed a little bit of comb quite early on, but then it didn’t...

    8.5 week old Polish - gender guesses

    I‘ve got three 8.5 week old Polish chickens and wonder about their gender. Billie, Blake and Bowie. After reading loads of Polish posts here, I currently suspect Blake and Bowie to be cockerels and am still hoping Billie might be a pullet. Their crest development stages left me wondering and...

    Polish 13 weeks

    A few different opinions on the gender here, would you @mewbzz mind writing an update what your Polish turned out to be please? (Have three 8week olds myself and try to figure out their genders) Thank you, Julie

    Polish chicks- hen vs cockerel ?

    @xrayerin, did they turn out to be both pullets? Would you mind posting pictures of how they look like now, please? I’ve got three polish, which are currently 8weeks old and am very back and forth on the gender… They are so very hard to sex… (particularly as a first timer) Thanks, Julie
