    Dry Vent with Lithargic Behavior

    I had been forcing electrolyte enriched water. I am giving her a couple drops of Poly Vi Sol daily, plus the .5 cc of Valbazen yesterday. Today she shows signs of improvement. She is on her feet and even pecked at me when I petted her. I am thinking that she indeed had worms and got depleted of...

    I just now gave her a .5cc dose of Valbazen. I see no sign if worms, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

    Dry Vent with Lithargic Behavior

    Poop looked normal on my exam glove last night. No noxious odors from vent or breath. Crop appears empty. My next move is to give the 1cc of Nutri Drench. At this moment I have her sitting in my bar sink in my kitchen taking a warm sitz bath. She is sound asleep. I will soon dry get off and let...

    Dry Vent with Lithargic Behavior

    Yes. Tonight I did a digital exam and everything felt normal. I realize there are several possibilities for what ails my girl, but I am determined to do everything I can to save my Aleeta. One thing I am considering is a vitamin D issue. I am wondering if she is assimilating the calcium like she...

    Yes, that is it. I have a flock started that is 16 weeks and my flock of 10 months old pullets. The feed is the same for the 10 months old as the pullet developer except the developer does not have calcium added. I feed the 18% to prevent having to buy two separate feeds and make sure my 10...

    I am providing oyster shell as the pullet developer does not have adequate calcium.

    Dry Vent with Lithargic Behavior

    The feed I use is manufactured by Des Moines Feed and Seed and came highly recommended by an employee who feeds it to her flock. The label reads Des Moines All Natural 18% Pullet Developer. I am also feeding some Sunflower seed hearts also on place of any scratch. This hen is the only one with...

    Dry Vent with Lithargic Behavior

    I just sold off my two roosters because my hens are showing signs of rooster abuse, with loss of feathers on the top of heads and backs just above the tail.

    Dry Vent with Lithargic Behavior

    I just switched about 6 weeks ago to a non-GMO pullet developer with no soy, 18%. I was feeding Purina's Omega 3 Layer Feed and fermenting enough for my pullets, who are now 10 months old, to finish off in about 10 minutes. This new feed has both probiotics and prebiotic already in it. I keep...

    Dry Vent with Lithargic Behavior

    My normally very active 10 month old Ancona showed signs of something wrong within the last few days. She hangs around the coop and is not herself. She laid a thin shelled egg the other night while sitting on the roost. This morning she was still on the roost at 9:00. On close examination I see...

    What Breed of Cockrel is this?

    Here is the photo of the "Ameraucana" sold to me at the lical farm store. Obviously not an Ameraucana, but what? I'm guessing, pure mutt.

    What Breed of Cockrel is this?

    This bird was sold to me as an Ameraucana at the local farm store. As you can see he has yellow feet and legs, no beard and no muff.
