If there is any discharge and it is clear is that normal? I am enjoying them. I have over read on here though and all the scary stories have made me nervous
I have 10 - 3 week old girls. They are sneezing here and there. Eyes look great, energy good, eating and drinking fine and running around like crazy. However they will shake their head like a dog kind of does when something tickles its face and sneeze or what sounds like a quick blow out of...
Hey ladies! Just a quick update. All chicks are doing great!!! The prolapse is gone in the one now Persistence with prep-h paid off. The other little girl still seems a bit sluggish but my poultry drench will be here tomorrow. Can't wait to see if it helps. Thank you all again so much! It was...
I have a two week old BR. She has been perfect until yesterday. She started dropping her wings and became lethargic.
I had been doing the Corid treatment as a prevention in their water since they came home. However, I didn't know that giving them vitamins with it makes it not work. I had been...
I kept her isolated last night. No discharge at all from her nostrils so it must have been from water. I keep the water clean since they are messy little girls. :) the two that had/have the prolapse had it from the time I got them. It just got worse. Hopefully I am not going to loose all of...
Karen, thank you for reading and replying. Their brooder is between 85-90. I check it often because the temps vary here in Illinois right now. I tried finding poultry drench and we don't have it here. I did not check for the goat one so I will tomorrow. I should have clarified that only one now...
we are losing two more!!! Seriously??? One was fine this morning and now she is lethargic and I can hear her breathing. I have separated the two and did a really good deep clean on the brooder. The others are freaked out by the box I put in it for the two sick ones.
Thank you!!! It seriously made me tear up. I am still sick at the thought that we had to cull her. I loved that story. Who knew you could love a baby chick so much! I certainly never imagined it. I spent every waking minute worrying or taking care of her.
I will only tell you how because you...
Thank you all for your replies and help this past week. When I got home from my sons baseball game, things had taken a drastic turn. All she was doing was chirping and squatting with nothing happening. I tried a bath, helping her get stuff out and massaging her. Unfortunately her stomach was so...
Hello everyone. I have an EE chick that from the time we brought her home she was "different". Her wings have always been split with the bottoms looking droopy. She was always mellow and just stands around not doing much. I got her to dropper drink water and was giving wet crumbles and she loves...
Thank you for responding! Yes. I give both electrolytes and probiotics. My chicks will not touch eggs! I have tried twice and they just stare at it like "what do you want us to do with that" lol
So update! My baby has mucous strings in her poop. It looks like a thin line of string after she is done. I am at a loss. Her wings are dropping and she looks sad although she is eating and drinking on her own. I am so overwhelmed not knowing what to do for her any other advise is welcome. I...
No! There is no poultry drench here anywhere although I am so pleased that the wet crumbles are making her happy. Just gave her more this morning and she is going insane. I did the tofu with all of them for 2 hours and none of them would touch it at all! Do you think 2 drops of oil every 4...
