Hi! I just came upon a post you responded to and wanted to say "Thank you" and "You're awesome!" Such good advice you gave this chicken keeper and reading your responses made me feel so good - this is what BYC is all about and I so appreciate the time and energy you put into offering this info. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/lethargic-hen-overdrinking-and-weird-smell.1260076/
lately my thoughts have me heading toward ideas of antifungals and deworming just to see what we can get. that and hyperthermic treatments. trying to figure how to get inflammation down and get her on her feet again. any help? thank you, zdb
feeding her homemade yogurt, seaweed, mealworms, lettuce, kale, water with minerals, oystershell, flaxseed meal, nuts and occasional treats (left over beef, fish, whipcream, stink bugs, clover). she's mostly ok. runs a few steps. loses balance and obviously hurts from sciatica at times (we can identify with her).
hi rebrascora, i just sent this note to microchick too. word on these interwebs is that you and microchick are to be looked to for marek's links. we've got a chicken sitting with what looks like mareks. she's lived in our garage over a year. think she got 8 months outta the shell before she went down.
