    Will Vitamin K cause issues if it wasn't poison?

    Unbalanced Pullet

    The only thing that I can think of that may have poisoned her, if it is poison, is nightshade. But from what I've read, it shouldn't be of much harm unless they were to consume copious amounts of the berries. If anyone has contradictory information concerning the plant, I will take care to...

    Unbalanced Pullet

    I'll try to get a video tomorrow, as I just put everyone up, and I spent a while trying to get her to lay down in order to go to sleep, as she really just wanted to stand and move around. I don't believe she was vaccinated, as we hadn't vaccinated her, but we got her from someone else at the...

    Unbalanced Pullet

    I have a seven month old standard sized pullet that cannot seem to be able to balance. This morning she was fine, but when I went out to collect the eggs, I found her sprawled out of the floor. After doing a thorough examination of her body, I have come to terms that there aren't any external...

    Lethargic and Droopy Eye in Bantam Hen

    Update: She seems healthy now, though she still has no use of her wing. She eats, and has started laying again. She gets along well with the other indoor chickens, and we let her spend most of the day with the chicks. Nobody else has shown any symptoms, so I am assuming that it was a stroke, due...

    Lethargic and Droopy Eye in Bantam Hen

    Other than the lethargy, they do not share any symptoms. And even then, the rooster had been much worse than the hen is, as she is capable of walking around and isn't sleeping most of the day. She has become more active and talkative than she had been previously, and has a better appetite. I...

    Lethargic and Droopy Eye in Bantam Hen

    She isn't any better, but she isn't any worse. She's gotten a bit of her bossy attitude back, grumbling at me a bit if I mess with her, but other than that, everything is the same. While I would love to take her to a vet, we don't have one nearby that is willing to work with chickens. The...

    Lethargic and Droopy Eye in Bantam Hen

    1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) The bird is a young D'Uccle hen. She is of laying age, but isn't a year old. She seems to weigh the same as she did prior to this ordeal. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. The behavior that...

    Lethargic, Panting, and Weak Rooster

    While we are looking for the vitamins that are needed, we decided to take him out to see his girls. He was okay for a minute or two, but then he started repeatedly kicking his back legs, falling out of his hammock. Upon being picked up, it could be heard that his breathing was raspy. It took a...

    Lethargic, Panting, and Weak Rooster

    I know you said that it wouldn't hurt, and instead could help, but are you sure that giving him something like that, in the case that it isn't what is needed, will not harm him in any way? I just want to make sure that there will be no adverse side effects.

    Lethargic, Panting, and Weak Rooster

    An update on Midnight the Rooster: We checked his crop this morning, and although he had already started eating a little bit by that time, it didn't feel any different from our hens. We will try to catch him tomorrow morning before he begins eating in order to reaffirm that the issues aren't...

    Lethargic, Panting, and Weak Rooster

    After taking a closer look, it is one leg that is bothering him the most. And the corresponding leg also has a scab on it. Instead of dooming my pet to the worst possible case, could I be given injuries or illnesses that have similar symptoms. It's just that people tend to jump to either Marek's...

    And after consulting with my mother, he was supposed to have been immunized against Marek's.

    Lethargic, Panting, and Weak Rooster

    Overall, it seems that the chances of those with symptoms isn't great, but those without symptoms are likely to live fine lives? I wasn't able to feel his crop this morning prior to him eating, as I was woken by the sounds of his beak against the food quite early.
