I never gave a second thought to losing a chicken, until I got some. Now I will cry for myself and for you also. I know the feeling. :*(

When my chicken had these symptoms, I kept her in a cage, so she was close to food and water, and could scoot herself around to get to them. I opened B complex capsules and put the powder in and on everything that went into her mouth...all day every day. I'm thinking it was about 2 - 3 weeks...

I got hardware cloth through Amazon a couple of years ago...about half the price I could find it anywhere else...plus free shipping. Don't know what they offer now, but check it out.

About 2 years ago, I found hardware cloth through Amazon that was much less expensive than any other place I found. And shipping was free. Check it out and good luck!

When I read of someone having this problem, I always want to jump in and tell my story. I had a chicken doing what yours is doing...couldn't use her legs. I went to the store and got a bottle of B12 complex capsules. I put her in a cage by herself (still outside) and opened the capsules and...

If you can postpone your trip, and schedule it after the storm threat is gone, I would think that would be the best thing to do. It would be a shame to get there, and have to turn around and leave. JMHO, of course. Having been at Port Aransas years ago, when a storm was headed our way, I...

I will tell you of my experience with a chicken whose legs quit working, maybe 1 1/2 years ago. I read on this board somewhere, to try Vitamin B Complex. I got some capsules (for humans) at the grocery store, and started pouring the powder from each capsule, into all this chicken's water and...

I feel sure it is a copperhead. I just looked it up on the internet, and the picture I see looks just like this one.

I thoroughly enjoyed the video. It is so great to see folks that obviously enjoy their chickens. Lucky girls, by the way!

We would want to be gone at least a month, maybe longer. I wouldn't want someone llving in my house for that long, and it would probably be impossible to find someone anyway. We have a close friend who boards horses here, and he would be more than happy to help with the chickens, but he can't...

For me, it was harder at first, getting the coops set up and experimenting with many things until I found what works best for me, with minimal effort. Now it is mostly easy...basically we let them out in the morning, gather eggs in the afternoon to help keep snakes away, and close them up at...

I'll be doing this shortly. The coops are not new, but have been changed in appearance, and DH is in the process of putting a fence around both of them. I have 'way too many roosters and once I can get rid of them, I plan to put all the hens (18 or so, I think) inside this fence and close the...

Hi Linda... I have followed your story from day one, and have so enjoyed reading about your adventures. I have thought many times about how much I wish we were closer and could visit and make chicken talk. I guess from Texas to California is enough to discourage any such thoughts though...

I had a chicken that did that a year or so ago. I posted the problem on this board, and one person (I wish I could remember who it was!) said to try Vitamin B Complex. I went to the store and bought capsules (for humans). Being capsules, I could pull them apart and pour out the powder. I...

Thank you both for your replies. I pulled up the website and see lots of information, so I've saved it and will read. I may just buy some pour-on and then throw away the eggs for a few days. I'll read more before I make a decision. I'm going to get rid of a few soon, and I don't want to be...

I have a bottle of Ivermetcin INJECTIBLE for cattle. I have read that some put ivermectin pour on, on the backs of chickens. I'm wondering if I can do that with the injectible? I know to use just a couple of drops on bantams, and a tiny bit more on larger chickens, of the pour on. And if It...

Of course I don't know what is wrong, but I'll tell you the story of one of my hens. She was perfectly fine....Several months old, at least. Suddenly her legs would not hold her up. She seemed healthy otherwise, and I was just beside myself. I immediately jumped on BYC to ask questions, and...

Thanks so much for your reply, Judy. I clicked on the site you sent, and started reading...then got called away for grandmother duties :0) I saved it, but am just now able to sit down to the computer, after a busy day. Mac is in a cage in the house. He has moved around a lot...has had...
