Can anyone tell me how long I should dose my Jen with the hypericum? We are on day 6, and she is walking again! Still a little wobbly but she's progressing every day!!
Pretty sure my hen has Mareks. I started the hypericum last night, and gave her second does this morning. She wasn't able to walk at all, and her feet would stick out straight in front of her. Since her second does, she stood up on her feet for a few minutes, and is laying down normal, and is...
With respect, I didn't post the "cure" thread, and if you actually read the thread, there is about 40 pages of people saying that it cured their chickens. Since my last post, my girl has had her second does of the hypericum, she's been standing and sitting up, and laying 100% normal now. She's...
Her toes aren't curled at all. I honestly do not wanna think about losing her right now. It's enough stress just trying to take care of her and keep up. It makes me terribly sad. I think I'll worry about that if the time comes. I've started the hypericum with distilled water, she just had her...
I'll try that, I have my mom and husband out looking for the herbal supplement right now. If anything, at least it will help relieve pain for her. Thank you so much for all the help. I really appreciate it. I'll update and let you know how she is doing after I start the herbal supplement.
I also just found a thread. There is actually a cure for this.
Here is the thread:

I'm gonna give this a try and see if it works. It can't hurt.
They get all kinds of stuff to eat, what I mentioned above, chicken feed, and lots of table scraps. They do prefer the scratch grains with sunflower and wheat grass out of anything though.
Their coop is open through out the day to run, but they do not prefer to get out.
As of right now, she...
I have a little California gray hen, she is 11 months old. For the past 6-7 days, she started getting "stiff" she couldn't walk well, and was sitting with her wings spread out. I ended up bringing her in, because she just got so much worse. She can't walk at all now. She would just sit, and now...

Yes, they do have more space, they sleep in that cage at night, and they go outside in the large coop during the day. This picture was taken this morning as soon as I heard that noise, and outside they went! We've been getting in the low digits at night, and plus the others don't like them just...
Thank you for the help. I only heard it once this morning, and I figured that if it was a rooster, he would keep on trying to crow. I was just really unsure, because I have never owned this breed before. I purchased them at a Tractor Supply store, and they said "Isa brown pullets" on the sign...
I have 2 Isa browns, they were purchased about 2 months ago as chicks. I thought this morning that I heard one trying to crow, but I am not for certain. I know that the isa brown females are darker brown, which I do have 1, but the other seems to be lighter in color, with brown. It also has a...
