She’s doing good, my husband has only been able to bend her leg about 90 degrees with really massaging her hock joint the same time as trying to extend it. I’m almost wondering if her tendon didn’t develop fully? I’ve been putting her in water and she swims around and tries to use that leg but...
I use a brewers yeast for a niacin supplement on their food, should I switch to something else? But okay I’ll check that link out, thank you! I’ve tried to feel around in the hock joint for the tendon but it just feels hard, I can’t really feel anything moving around.
@Miss Lydia @Isaac 0 I came across your profiles on other similar posts and was wondering if either of you would happen to have any ideas about my little girls leg.
Hello, we just received some new Australian spotted ducklings from Metzer farms yesterday and one of our ducklings keeps her one foot up and hops around on the other. We tried to straighten it and it doesn’t want to straighten at the hock. I’m scared I’ll break her leg if I try to straighten it...
I don’t have a layer feed because I have a mixed flock but I have oyster shells on the side for them to consume. She’s acting a little better today, I’ve got her to eat some watermelon and egg yolk and a little food but she’s still not wanting to drink really.
Hi everyone! I have a 4 month old Americana hen who hasn’t been acting like herself. She’s keeping both eyes shut and just keeps falling asleep standing up with her feathers slightly ruffled. There’s no discharge or anything around her eyes and she does open them and perk up for a second if...
I have both on hand, here is a couple photos of her face, she’s opened the swollen eye a couple times briefly if she hears something but that’s all. I don’t see any bubbles.
I have a 7.5 week old Easter egger, who started acting lethargic out of no where today and she has an eye that she won’t open. Trying to figure out if I should give her corrid or tylosin. There’s no discharge from eye or nasal area, and I have got her to eat some egg but not drink anything...
I do have some tylosin on hand, I tried to figure out everything I might need in case of emergencies and stock up. Here’s a photo of her face and eye. She has a little egg yolk around her mouth. I’m not seeing any bubbles when I open her eye
Hi everyone, I have a 7.5 week old Easter egger and she was completely fine running around drinking/eating when I left her, I come home a couple hours later and she won’t open one eye and it seems to be a little swollen. I’m not seeing any discharge from the nasal area or around the eye and I...
Is this an Easter egger or Ameraucana? I’ve read a lot about mislabeled bins at local feeds stores of Ameraucanas being Easter eggers so wanted to see what other thought and if she’s looking more male or female too! The last photo is when we first got her. She’s just over 3 weeks old. I thought...
