This is the second time I have come across this. They get super weak....legs have no control etc. They look to be completely delirious.
I can't be the first person to see this in young chicks. What am I doing wrong?
Most recovered with antibiotics, poli vi sol and sunshine, but we lost the 2...
I just wanted to write and thank all of you, she seems to be doing a lot better. She still isn't walking around, but she is standing at times and taking a few steps and just is looking better.
I have no idea what happened, other than a possible broken leg. But giving her the eggs mixed with...
She still isn't standing, we have been doing everything mentioned and getting her in as much sun as possible. Can someone please advise as to what I could try now? I am scared for her!!
Thank you!
ok, I just was reading some of the other posts and found out about the crop being impacted. I can feel a sac there and I can actually feel the grit of her food in it. It isn't hard as a rock, but is bulging. I mixed olive oil with scrambled egg and a little feed with a few drops of hot water and...

I thought maybe she...

What does this mean? Can she walk? Maybe this is what is wrong with my JG that all of a sudden can't walk at 2 mo old?? I have no idea what is wrong with her and it's breaking my heart!!
She was fine this morning.,....she is inside only with very tiny babies 1/4 her size and she is only little born Aug 3. she is in the house in a clean brooder, I have no idea what could have happend. I went in to play with them and check food and she way laying weird and I picked her up and she...
What is that second chick? I have the same exact bird!!!!! Her name is Big mama!!! let me see if I can find a picture! I thought she was an EE, am I right?

I see an obvious oversight on my part!! Anyone???
Your birds are beautiful btw!!! I love the colors!!
