She has not been wormed - I have a sick chick at the moment, as soon as I got him/her over this I was going to worm everyone. Also having a heatwave at the moment (although Penelope's unusual behaviour started before) after it gets cooler I am planning to give the coop a good clean out and...

Thank you for this - what I should have asked was: - the 2-3 drops pentavite to the chick directly daily- and the vitamin E capsule 1 over 2 days or 1 capsule per day for 2 days? Is 250 units enough per day? I have looked at the vit E in the shops - comes in different strengths and quite...

Chicks were on medicated starter - chick lost all interest in life one day, stopped eating & drinking - no blood in poop - poop was just clear with white by the time I was aware of illness. Poop back to normal now though. I posted the question "what is wrong with this chick?" and consensus was...

Oh OK - so if I start reducing the amprolium now and start with the vitamins again once I finish in a few days?

Hello, Last week Penelope, my top chicken (of 2 adults) who normally is the one shouting to be let out (they free range the garden all day) was quiet when I went to open the coop. She had and egg of hers (which I assume she had laid that night/morning) on the floor of the coop which she was...

I thought I would add a couple of photos - she is preening on these - head able to go both left and right. Morgan is the brown chick in the middle of the 1st 3 photos and on the right of the last.

Hello, I have a chick suffering from wry neck who was hatched by a broody. I have tried separating her from the other but she gets so stressed being away from Momma and siblings that I have put her back with them - I have read that stress will make this worse? I have been treating her with...

Just to put everything into perspective - I took the dog to the vets for his annual jabs - was asked did I want the heartworm injection, decided for the 1st time to let him have it. He had a huge reaction to it - he was sick in the car and collapsed as soon as I got him home - got him back to...

OK small update. Yesterday morning chick still alive and showing signs of more vigor but her head looked like it has been put on a bit wonky - about 20 degrees out from vertical. She looks at you with her head a full 45 degrees out then seems to lose balance and freaks out a bit. She seemed to...

I got some of this stuff, given level teaspoon in 2 liters of water. Used a 2ml syringe to drip some onto her beak - she took a little. I have seen her take a few sips of water today - so all water around her now treated with the Amprolium 200. I have also put some yoghurt watered down with...

They have been given a chick starter with medicated feed - along with being outside from day 1 with the broody hen that hatched them. Morgan is still alive this morning - but still not interested in eating or drinking. She follows Momma when called (but slowly) just hunches down as soon as...

One of my chicks hatched Xmas eve appears to have just given up on life!! She just stands there while all the others happily graze and scratch around under the supervision of my broody Momma. It has been a warm day - in the low 30'sC - but there is plenty of shade and the mister is switched on...

In my very limited experience (2 broody hatches under my belt) Momma hen will decide when enough is enough and abandon the unhatched eggs - in my case she gave them approx 24 hours after the last of the hatchers arrived. 1st time she was very reluctant and kept going back to the unhatched egg...

Hello, I was more of a Christmas hatch rather than new year - was just joining in for the fun of it. Mine hatched 23/24th.

Hey Ron, your chickies are poppin!!!!!

Congratulations everyone with their rockers, pippers, zippers and hatchlings. I hatch under a broody so I never get to see any of this - I am so envious!!! Mine hatched over a 2 day period - I sat watching chickie TV through the coop window for almost all the 2 days trying to get a glimpse of...
