    Does anyone know if Epsom salt compress can be used for a chick to help reduce swelling of abdomen?

    I've considered just about everything as a possibility in what could be ailing this chick, but I really think her biggest problem is that she was very small and got beat up pretty badly. I don't know what her condition was prior to that, but she hasn't walked or stood in the 8 days I've had her...

    Bullied chick has improved. Do you use herbal remedies for your flock? Unsure of dosage for chick.

    Little Henrietta still not standing up & now we have booty issues! ..up the doodie creek y'all

    First, thanks to everyone who has offered advice and support for little Henrietta! She was bullied at the store by the larger & stronger chicks and was in trouble. She's clearly a very strong little gal. She battled for life a day or two before being noticed. I imagine that coming into such...

    PLEASE..Chick was bullied by the others..home but not doing well!

    I was worried about this little chick and so I purchased it with 4 others. It was the smallest one & the others were really being cruel to it. It was wet & sticky. I wiped it down with warm water, wrapped in a towel and dried it carefully. I separated it from the other chicks I bought right...
