    Araucana or ameraucana young chickens

    Araucana or ameraucana young chickens

    That's what I thought but they Do have blood feathers coming in around the tail area and appear to have a tail bone but I'm unsure guess I'll just have to wait some more to see if an actual tail develops.

    Sick Chicken

    Vitamin E and selenium also B complex vitamin added into food or water. Looks like head torsion or wry neck. I would say treat with corrid in the case of cocci but do not mix the corrid with the vitamins.
