es' has made a turn for the worse; this morning she was eating porridge which made us all very excited. we though she was recovering. right now she stands in her coop with her head tucked behind her wing. she is barely walking around. please please please if you have any advice share it...

wow thankyou so much! that's such a great article. i've checked on her this morning, and her crop is actually empty. she is still just as lethargic and unwilling to eat as before, so once again i''m worrying about another underlying problem perhaps. at the moment though, i'm most concerned...

hi there! so earlier this week we noticed that one of our twin barred rock pullets was acting a little bit odd. she had obviously also lost a bit of weight. considering that her and her sister had just been moved into the same coop as our older, bigger chooks, we just thought that maybe she...

I think I'll put her on chick feed; just because she likes it more and it might keep her stronger. (: Thanks for the info again!!!! Thankyou heaps and heaps and HEAPS for your post mightymax! I'm sorry to hear about mareks in your flock- it's truly devastating when a little chook goes down...

(sorry for my bad typing above, I was on my phone! (: ) Thanks for the thread link, it's encouraging me to keep Mareks in mind still. I tried out some of the leg stretchy things from the other link, and I noticed whilst taking her right leg; the one I thought wasn't injured/sore and she went a...

TThanks for both of your help! Im hoping she will get better asap as she is a gorgeous little girl and everyone loves her very much. Im also worried aboutt sending her to thenvet but we might have to ifnfurther treatment doesnt work. Thanks again!:Dm

Please help us!

Hi . Over these past few days and maybe even weeks, our baby Vivienne (about 12-18 weeks old) has been having trouble walking. For more info please read my last thread, which sadly got no responses. Anyway, she appeared to be getting better; walking around more with less focus on her heavy...

Please help ! Update: Her right eye is slightly squinted aswell ; and also when she flaps/stretched out her wings her right one doesn't lift as high, but I think that could do with her standing up high.

Hi all. :) So, over this week we've had some trouble with our something week old (pekinxsilkie) pullet; Vivienne. At the start she was wobbling around with what we thought was Mareks (nope THANK GOODNESS) and then a Vitamin deficiency- still a maybe though. Later on in the week she seemed to get...

I'm not close to a "chicken doctor" and have no idea what (diseases) it could be, but I had a pekinxsilkie who grew a curly toenail although the other way around. She was turned out to be 100% fine. Keep a watch incase I'm wrong though!

This morning when I went to let her out of her dog carrier (she sleeps in it with her friend because they aren't quite friendly with the bigger chickens atm) she was really energetic and ran to the feeder and drinker for a big feed, and also ate some bread. A few minutes ago I went to let them...

About two years ago. I'm pretty sure she is vaccinated though, and none of our other hens since (vaccinated and unvaccinated) have caught it yet. We also purchased that chicken with the disease unaware, as she didn't show any symptoms until later. Does that make any difference to the...

Thanks again for your response! (<that's Viv dancing.) I'm hope it's a vitamin deficiency, as she is still very perky. Last time we had a Mareks infected chicken (when we first got hennies) it was the most devastating thing I'd seen, and juggling between school and the poor chook was very...

Guys I'm so sorry for the update but we really REALLY need help with our girl. She isn't getting any better; maybe even worse. Even then; we don't know what expect if she is getting better anyway. My sisters and I have given her vitamin /protein supplements (yesterday) and have wormed their...

Are there any more " diseases " she could possibly have? Just checked on her and her toes aren't curled. We've also separated her and her friend from the roo; just to help stabilize the problem for now. Thanks for your response and we'll take a look at the other conditions now. xx EDIT: If she...

Hi. ! So yesterday (Thursday) my sisters and I noticed one of our gorgeous (approx) 12-16 week old pekin x silkie was a little bit extra weak (she's always been a smaller hen). She was able to walk and run around; but whilst we were showing off her gorgeous feathers to our aunty she was quite...

Looking back- Kora is roughly 6-10 weeks old if that's any help. Sorry the age is hard to find exactly as the three chickies were 'rescued' from a kids animal farm (they were so fluffy then!).The crest and wattles grew when he/she was very young weirdly enough, and haven't changed much since...

Thanks for your response! :) It's a bit tricky comparing with the other girls as they are all a bit older. There are a few droopy feathers (I'd call them saddle feathers); some are rounded though. I'm not relying on the saddle/ spiky feathers though as one of my other lovely henny's (the whiter...

Hi! So; straight out can you tell if my "baby girl" is a roo? She/he's still peeping heaps but my sisters and I are not too sure of the age. Also; she/he is a pekin x silkie x frizzle (maybe). Thanks!
