    5 day old chick question.

    Things have not gotten any better for this chick, it’s been 2 weeks...I’m wondering what the long term of this situation is...has anyone had a chick grow to full grown with this and manage or do I cull? She seems to be able to eat and drink do we just keep up with the treatments?

    5 day old chick question.

    Ok I’ll stop the selenium...I made her scrambled which she ate over the course of the day and the vitamin e&b1...should I spread out the dose of E over a few applications? Or all in one session? Thx

    5 day old chick question.

    We are giving her most of a Vitamin E capsule 2-3 times a day and roughly 25 mcg of selenium 2-3 times a day, also we have been adding electrolytes in her water (pedialyte)

    5 day old chick question.

    Hey Folks, So we are 5 days into the vitamin treatment with our wry neck chick and we are not seeing much improvement, any idea how long it takes or is it just a case of it'll take as long as it takes. Thx

    5 day old chick question.

    I picked up the vitamin E and B1 then some pedialyte for electrolytes and a separate brooder setup...I had to drive to a different state for the selenium but I found it...no cvs around here had it, so we have 2 doses in her and she looks settled in for now, I gave her a room mate for the night...

    5 day old chick question.

    Im heading out to the feed store today when they open at 9, Thx for your help! would you all suggest I separate her from the rest? I read that on one of the threads, which means a second brooder tank and light...etc, which is fine, just want to be sure its needed, I guess she could get trampled...

    Small Solar

    I guess it’s 50ft I could bury an outside line...but it’s the digging that’s my problem, I’m in MA so it’s all granite rocks everywhere I put a shovel in the ground, I didn’t realize those waterers took that much juice. Thx

    Small Solar

    Hi Folks, What have you all decided on for a small solar setup for you're coops, I'm in the process of building a new coop and want to run a solar setup thru the winter if I can for just a heated waterer instead of running an extension cord across the yard again. Thx

    Question about a sick girl

    I have a 4yr old RI Red who I noticed this morning was not walking much, when standing her tail feathers are sloped down towards the ground, her belly feels a bit bloated (at least compared to her sister) and is breathing heavily and slowly....could she be egg bound?
