Thanks Eggcessive but I'm in the UK x

Unfortunately I just went to check on her and she has passed away. At least she isnt suffering anymore and she was warm comfy and had a nice last meal that i made her. Thank you everyone for your support and advice I've really appreciated it xx

That's really encouraging :) did you use special poultry vitamins? I want to try find some out shopping tomorrow but they don't have many places around me so might be a few days before I can get some delivered to me. X

Can they ever recover when it gets to the stage of leg paralyses do you know ? Her breathing isnt as bad now but still not great. If she isn't in pain id give her a few more days and give her poultry vitamins to see if she perks up but don't want to prolong the suffering if she is. From what I...

One of her legs seems completely paralysed now. No movement at all in it. I don't want to see her suffer should I let her go to sleep?

Ok so I got up this morning to check on her and she's gotten am awful lot worse. Cant stand, really heavy noisy breathing (almost like a rattle, hard to explain) and she keeps shaking her head every 10 secs. I'm going to ring the vets but it's difficult to get someone with a good knowledge of...

Thanks Eggcessive I'll order some vitamins. Kathy shed on tylan for the chest infection, flubenvet for worms and liquid paraffin for crop X

Hi Eggcessive, she has been vaccinated I'm pretty sure as the place I got her from is reputable and say they vaccinate their hens. Since you've mentioned it though I've had a read about Mareks and they say that it doesn't 100% prevent the disease. I've read through the symptoms and it sounds...

Hi everyone. One of my little bantams is poorly and I'm not 100% sure the vets diagnosis was right. Any advice would be really appreciated :) So a week ago she stopped going in the coop at night. I thought she maybe injured herself so I lifted her in and out for a few nights and she ate and...

Hi everyone :) Ive been keeping chickens since February and started off with a flock of four. One of my hens went broody and I put 6 eggs under her - only one hatched and is now about 6 weeks old. In the meantime another of my hens went broody and this time I got 2 little chickies who are...

Hi everyone, hoping you can help. My hen went broody and I put 6 fertilised eggs under her. Only one made it to hatch 2 days ago and Im not sure what to eventually do with the chick. The chick and her mum are in their own broody box and run at the moment and I know that hens usually stay with...

Thanks chicken canoe! Ill move her into her new quarters :-)

Hi everyone! I've just bought my first ever set of hatching eggs to put under my broody hen - very excited!! I'm unsure as to where to put her. I have a house and run which keeps four of my grown up ladies. I have bought a little separate hutch and run that would be suitable for chicks once...
