Ok, I found a vet to see my hen. He called an avian specialist, because in her blood work it was showing her iron to be at 31, which was in the normal range he thought. However the specialist said it wasn't good as he would like to see it, and he asked for more bloodwork. We then found there...
She is doing some better! She has a bit of pink back to her face. I am giving her liquid vitamins and minerals and it is definitely helping. She was bright eyed and scratching around much more today! They are Jubilee Orpingtons. I just adore them. They're both so gentle and sweet! <3
The feed is Nutrena Layer Crumbles 16%, Scratch and Peck (which is given as treats and has cracked wheat and sunflower seeds), and table scraps. They are let out to free range 4 hours a day.
She ears just fine and is fleshy. No mites or lice that I can find. I've used Ivomec dewormer and raw pumpkins. She has never laid, neither has her sister from the same clutch.
I have a pullet, hatched 3-15-14, that has always appeared pale, more so than the rest of her hatchlings. She has been wormed, and gets plenty of 16% feed. She keeps her eyes closed most of the time. What should I do for her to help her improve?
I have a Silver Lacw Orpington roo that ended up with yellow legs and beak... want to add him to this mix to improve the lacing? $100 shipped. Hatched 5-25-14 pictures available
