PM me also please, I'm interested.

Still available? Where in SFL? I'm about an hour north of WPB

OK, just to update for anyone who might find this later (I hate when I find something similar going on and then nobody posts back the results good or bad). Last night I mixed up the molasses flush and electrolytes and gave her around 5ml or so directly down her throat - if I couldn't drip it...

Yes, her eyes do look normal, not like to ones I saw online with Marek's. I just checked on her and she was on her back wanting to flip over.

OK, I will go ahead and do the molasses flush. After I mix the solution, do I give it to her through an eyedropper? If so, how much at a time? She does try to drink by herself, but with her head hanging down, I honestly don't know if the water goes down her throat or if it just leaks back out. I...

Thanks for the replies! I did start giving her vitamins last night. This morning her neck is still drooping. She can still stand and walk, but her wings seem to be drooping for sure. Should I go ahead and do the molasses flush? How can I be sure this isn't something more serious like Marek's? I...

Meant to also say that she did poop in the cage and it seemed very runny like clear liquid. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

One of my SLW pullets that is right around 6 months old suddenly developed a drooping neck tonight. We were watching her and then all of a sudden her neck started drooping and it looked like she was straining to poop and she pooped a little bit. I picked her up and checked her vent and it seems...

Thanks for posting the photos!

Sounds horrible, but I would definitely say a shot through the eyes is not good as you found out. It would have to be a regular hollow point directly in the head (brain). Or hatchet/axe.

What kind of metal feeder were you using?

Haha, that is great!

I can attest to that. I have one hen that gets very vocal and will look at me and squawk while I hold other hens besides her. I also have another couple that like to perch on my shoulder. Maybe because they seem to like getting as high as possible for the best perspective?

I have some chicks now that are about 4 weeks old that eat an occasional worm or anything else they find in the ground and they are just fine.

They are definitely addicting, and very practical too! Fun to watch!

Sorry for your loss. At least the little one isn't suffering.

Usually it is hard to feather sex them after they are a day old in my experience. You could always adopt it and if it crows I am sure there is a feed store that will take him and find him a good home/farm. My local feed store will take in roos or hens and re-home them for free to good homes that...

I also have used the TSC bulbs without incident. I will still check them before I use them with my next batch of chicks that are in the bator now.

Me too!

You will get used to it, they will be fine. Congrats on your new babies.
