Yes, I'm 5 minutes from Clarksville and Louisville. I'm right next door in New Albany, IN. It's about 53 degrees now. Looks like the weather is finally letting up and going warm UPDATE: I couldn't get the syringe in her and honestly she is a real wiggle butt. The great thing is she loves...

Colie <3 : Quote: My chickens are very healthy and I've owned both since 4 weeks of age. They have always had Purina feed and Flock block from the start. If you read wry neck could be from genetics, pecking on the head from others or lack of B deficiency. After reading Purina labels there is...

Quote: I had had a similar thought. It's not a chicken's natural instinct to be indoors 24/7 nor to be caged. Even though she is 2 and has probably lived this way her whole life, perhaps a life lived in an unnatural environment has taken its toll and her current condition is merely a...

http://www.thepoultrysite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4100 That had some good pointers in it hun. Also type in egg bound poultry, egg bound chickens under google and just read what comes up. I have been doing this like crazy for wry neck and found many useful threads. Keep us updated sweetie...

Don't break the egg hun, it will harm the chicken. I do know that part. You're doing great with putting her in a tub with warm water. I heard you can massage gently in that area of where her egg is, but be careful enough the egg doesn't break. I also heard of people taking a syringe and shooting...

Hey hun, here is my new thread because I'm really stuck. Thank you for your message. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=452055 I have done so much reading my eyes hurt. I have spent money and so far it seems it was pointless. It is now day 2 of it having this wry neck and...

I have done so much reading my eyes hurt. I have spent money and so far it seems it was pointless. It is now day 2 of it having this wry neck and I feel she is going to die because she is not getting what she needs. I caught it early, but she isn't getting what she needs and the more I wait, the...

Quote: Hey hun, after major research on the net, you're correct. My baby does have wry neck. I've read all kinds of treatments, but successful ones came from this thread and this one in particular. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=253674&p=1 Basically falls under the...

Quote: If I hold them. I'm up north in the winter states and we are also known for northern mites, ticks. My hens are safe from that. So they need good calcium. Besides oyster shells, I need cod liver oil and I'm trying to find out where to get this.

So I can go get any kind of Vitamin E Soft gel? I'll go get some eggs and spinach. I was just wanting some good cod liver oil to help digest the food as well as pass it through her. If she is constipated or lacking certain supplements. Any know what kind of cod liver oil that is safe to get for...

Spinach would be a good thing to go get for her. If she is constipated. Does anybody know what kind of Cod liver oil to get from the stores? I want to get something in her where she can get whatever it is out of her system. She needs a good dropping.
