    Ameraucana Lavender still not laying

    Wry Neck or Newcastle Disease? What are the differences?

    They both seem very similar to me and I have been treating my 5 day old baby chick for wry neck.

She is still eating and drinking on her own and I am giving her...

    Poultry Nutri-Drench - A MUST HAVE for chicken owners!

    I swear this stuff saved my baby chick that probably wouldn’t have made it. She was extremely lethargic, wouldn’t move or pick her head up, no eating or drinking.. a drop of this stuff every couple hours perked her right up! Just wanted to share with all of you, if you don’t have this - GET IT !
