It seems like my chickens have been passing around a cold or something......was thinking I would just dose them all through water but all I have is the injectable. Can I put that in their water? and how much per gallon?
Wing seems hurt, she's not using it and it's drooping.....finally I decided to wrap it and separate her, it's only been a week, unwrapped and let her hang with the flock. It still seems a little droopy but better. Should I wrap her again just to give her a full two weeks recovery?
Curious why/what could be cause this. Other than that, she seems healthy but kind of walks a little funny like her wing is weighing her down to the left. Has anyone had this?
She just sits, two days ago I noticed she was super mellow then she just started sitting around. no other chicks are exhibiting any symptoms. The problem is she doesnt seem interested in food or water, thats why I was wondering if I should force feed her.......p.s. shes about 8-10 weeks old
My pullet, 8 weeks, has stopped walking,eating, drinking.....Ive been feeding her "save a chic" but I literally have to force feed her. Should I just let her be? am I prolonging the inevitable? or should i keep hydrating her?
I have 5, 16 week old pullets/hens, and just got 2, 8 week old pullets.......how do I prevent Hen pecking?
Right now I have them blocked off from rest of flock but part of the section is chicken wire so the others can see them regularly etc. What else can I do? And how long before I let them run...
