    There are B vitamins in the Poly Vi Sol, but I can switch her to a B complex vitamin.

    Chick acting strange- won't use feet

    It's been since Monday, and she is still hanging in here. The weakness in her legs seems to have worsened a bit, but she is still eating/drinking like nothing is wrong. I've got her on a lovely cocktail of Poly vi sol and Vit E/Selenium, but I'm not sure that the symptoms are reversible at...

    Chick acting strange- won't use feet

    Thank you for your input! I think you may be on to something here. She is not Marek's vaccinated, but I'm not leaning toward Marek's since there's been no change in status since Monday (I would expect more decline). The Poly vi sol does have Riboflavin in it, but I have been giving her a very...

    2 year old Cochin putting its head on back

    Sounds kind of like Wry neck to me. I had a duckling that started to go crooked on me. Gave her some Poly vi sol (no iron) infant vitamins and it straightened her out in a week or two. I recommend looking it up, as it is potentially reversible.

    !!!!HELP!!!! MY CHICKIE IS LIMPING!

    Sounds like Shades needs some niacin. Niacin deficiencies often cause leg issues in ducks. I don't have the exact formula off hand, but I'm sure you can find how much to put in a gallon waterer. I just used the people pills and crush them. Put it in a small bit of warm water to dissolve and...

    Chick acting strange- won't use feet

    Hello, I have a 2 mos old silver Hamburg pullet who, until Monday night, appeared to be healthy. She suddenly (somewhere between the hours of 8am-4pm) on Monday seemed to lose strength in her legs. The right seems to be more impacted, however, she does have control of both legs (no complete...

    2 y.o Red Star hen acts like statue;1 y.o Delaware thinks its a turkey

    Hey all. We have a flock of hens that was marvelous until the stupid accidental rooster happened. Now suddenly our strongest hens seem to be ill. Rebel is a 2 y.o Red Star hen. She's usually friendly and active and always where she shouldn't be (as long as shes w/us shes happy) but now she just...

    Thank you all for your interest! I have been trying to post a pic of Bert & Ernie but currently cannot as I have discovered BYC has been having some problems with SPAM & "new members." So I haven't forgot about you all! I promise as soon as I am able, I will post a pic of them!

    One of my assumed silkies hasfeather legs & the other does not.

    I have two 1 month old chicks who appear to be silkies. They have the extra toe, dark skin, and are super fluffy. I've done a bit of research on this breed, and I've yet to see a silkie with clean legs. One of my chicks has the usual fuzzy legs, but the other chicks legs are clean. Has anyone...
