I searched also and found nothing, but that is what it is labeled. Maybe the vet made up the name and really did just give her children's amoxicillin?! She is bathing twice a day in iodine.

She said, "No idea how started. The medicine is TRNZ LIQUID PEROC? it looks like the pink children's medicine amoxicillin."

Finally some answers. She found a vet that would see her hen. He did some skin scrapings and it is a bacterial infection and a yeast infection. She's on antibiotics and also a special wash. Thanks for your interest!

She said she has treated for parasites and hasn't seen anything.

Posting for a friend...Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it? I don't know much about her condition other than having the pictures and that the hen is lethargic.[/IMG]

I think I would probably run a heat lamp out there. The other chickens attacking the chick is a very real concern. I've seen what chickens can do to a young baby and "it aint pretty". It's a good idea to keep them safely separated for about 6 weeks or so.

I am surprised she is staying on the eggs. My hens will leave any eggs that haven't hatched by the time the first chick is about 2 days old. When are the other eggs due to hatch? As long as she can snuggle down in the nest box, in a draft free coop, she should be fine. You could give her a heat...

Only 3 weeks old?! He sure is handsome!

The feathering looks like pullets.

Kusco might be a Sultan. Does she have feathered legs? Chipmunk and Fuzzy might be Americaunas. Can you post some better close ups?

You've got some pretty birds!

They both have long tail feathers, too. I think they are cockerels.

I vote for....pullet.

Check the bottom of his feet. if he is a Jersey Giant, they should be yellow.

Congratulations!

A friend of mine had a chick with spraddle leg and used vet wrap to bring the legs in. For the first couple of days, she had to constantly help the chick to stand. It kept falling over. By day 3, the chick had gotten the hang of standing and could shuffle around a bit. It took a lot of effort...

Blast!! I was hoping I was wrong! He is so sweet! I wonder if he'd get along with my rooster (his daddy)?!

I think I have a cockerel here and was just getting ready to list him for sale, but thought I'd better get some other opinions first. I'd sure hate to sell a pullet by mistake! He is about 10 weeks old in these pictures. I've never heard him crow. Thanks for your input!

I also think Coconut is male and the others look like pullets.

Thanks for the great advice on egg management and what a hen can handle! Update: Once they all hatched, I gave a couple of chicks back to the hen and watched. She was wonderful with them so I put in a couple more. By the end of the day, she had them all. She was a great mom until they turned 2...
