Its so eggciting!!!! Congrats. My babies who grew up in the summer months, started from 18-20 weeks and my easter egger (Amerucana) took till 25 ish weeks for her first egg. I heard that pretty typical. But seasons, lighting and colder weather can change laying if I'm not mistaken....

Thank you everyone! I took my 8 ish month old Pullet black Australorp into the avian (including chickens) vet Thurs am, gave her a full exam and history, and she said based on the fact nothing else appears wrong with her but her obvious twisted and sideways "neck" and of course balance issues...

Any idea of the dose of the Vit E capsules (ex: 100, 200 or 400 IU?) and same with Selenium? I don't want to poisen them by an over dose

Thanks so much, she is about 8 almost 9 months old. I just added Avian Super Pack vits mix to her water as that is what I had on hand, and thanks for the tuna reminder! Ill try that in am. I don't see how to post a video but I have some....

She still can control her neck, well enough to eat her regular layer food and any treats but in between she turns her head a lot, as if trying to look at something sideways, almost upside down at times, but does not fall over....so I don't think its wry neck. Thanks for offering the reference...

Hi, thanks for the reply, no, no crop issues, eating and pooping ok, and she even is talking a lot. I checked her for any thing I could see in her ears, nothing. She is still laying eggs, two since this started.... her eyes are clear as are nose, mouth etc. No lice or bugs on her; I doubt...

Yes, I too want to know what happened, did it resolve, was it an inner ear balance issue, did you need to treat it? If so how?

How does this parasite relate to balance issues, can you tell me a reference or how you came to that understanding, my chicken has this for about three days now and I thought she was getting better but today worse, going into vet in am, I am hoping inner ear infection is all it is, aotherwise...

Do you know that your chicken had? I have this same issue in my chicken, and going into a vet tommarrow in am?? I am worried sick

My totally healthy girls include a flock of 4, the Australorp hen fine yesterday they went out and ate some grass and pecked around for a bit while I talked to neighbor. I normally keep them in coop ( its cold) or in the protected dog run attached, so no free ranging typically until yesterday...

Congrats on the first egg Jessica, its so exciting!! Pretty egg for sure!

Hi Everyone!!! I am from Thornton Colorado, Just moved here and the city also had this year approved citizens to have 6 hens in their backyard, I was in heaven!!! I got 6 chicks in June and raised them and love them to pieces, always loved chickens! I raised two sets of Rhode Island Reds as a...

I am very worried about this too, I want a good healthy protein treat, its cold and they are just starting to lay, but hate the thought of china food that (yuck) might have something bad for my girls and then I eat it in their eggs! Scary I think....!!

Hi, My little buff orphington developed some neurological disorder too, about age 9-10 weeks if I recall correctly, seemed to be Aspergillus infection, and went to brain, did you do any research, are Buffs more prone to such neuro problems by chance? She is weak, doesn't eat much, light body...
