    Curled Toe Paralysis in 2 yr old Hen???

    Update for those that are following and/or interested. She has made no improvements. I plan to have her euthanized and sent to my state's diagnostic lab to see what caused this. I will wait 1-2 more weeks for all the antibiotic residue to leave her system so it doesn't interfere with the lab's...

    Curled Toe Paralysis in 2 yr old Hen???

    I had some time to spare! This is a picture of what I'm using for her. The Sav-A-Chick packets are designed to be mixed with a gallon of water and must be prepared fresh daily. One chicken can't drink that much so in order to prevent waste I mixed 1/4 tsp into her water which is a quart. 4...

    1 chick out of 23 not growing

    She may have curled toe paralysis. It's common among young chicks. Caused by a vitamin B deficiency. She may not be eating enough food or may have trouble digesting it. Try Sav-A-Chick vitamin powders. You just add it to the water. Very inexpensive. Any local feed store should have them. If you...

    sick three week white leghorn

    Check out this page, it explains to you about a chicken's crop and problems associated with it. Have you started treating for coccida yet? I wouldn't take her food away. If you are concerned about her becoming "crop bound" (food gets stuck in there and can't pass) then just take the food away at...

    sick three week white leghorn

    I may be wrong but I believe the crop is on the right side. It can get big especially when they've eaten a lot of food.

    1 chick out of 23 not growing

    There are numerous people on here who have experienced the same thing. Type in "chick not growing" and you'll find the posts. She should be fine!

    HELP! My chicks have been dying and I can't figure out why!

    Mix the Corid and water solution daily for 5-7 days. Your chicks should be back to normal in about 3 days but continue treatment.

    Curled Toe Paralysis in 2 yr old Hen???

    Oh yes! She's getting probiotics, vitamins and electrolytes in her water. All the laying pellets she can eat. 1 hard boiled egg a day with apple cider vinegar mixed in, one half after the Cipro. And I take her out in the yard twice a day so she can have some greens. She just sits and chows down...

    Hen inhaled food; wheezing & coughing

    What are you using to treat her for canker? Just curious. I'm starting a "chicken book" for myself. With treatments, dosages and nutritional supplementation to any disease/ailment a chicken can have. I'm tired of noticing something is wrong then spending hours and perhaps days looking for the...
