This started about two weeks ago after she was seperated from flock to treat for a bad mite infection.
Thought she was just drinking too much as some chickens do but even controlling how often and how much she drinks she still regurgitates several times a day. Usually 30-60 min after she eaten...
Had a chicken that we thought had wry neck disease from vitamin deficiency as its something we dealt with before but during one of her feedings I noticed a small red thing crawling over her eye. Checked through her feathers and turns out she is absolutely infested with mites/lice. And if she is...
So I had a heat spike early in incubation period that took out most of my eggs but somehow miraculously two managed to somehow make it and hatched out Wednesday night. But I've got a two day old chick here who can't stand and holds her neck over her back. I've dealt with wry neck before in older...

She is a 9 week old Brahma, first found last Friday paralyzed and lethargic on the floor of her coop. After a few days of force feeding her moist medicated chick feed and giving her water with poly-visol in it she became much more alert and lively. She now eats and drinks on her own as long as...
Hello all, I've got a little miracle problem baby I need help with. He hatched a full two days early and went from pip to out of his egg in less than 8 hours but unfortunately hadn't absorbed his entire yolk yet. Didn't think the prognosis was good but left him in the incubator an extra day...
