Well I am trying this so I will need to update you with my results, in 3 weeks!

Hi, I am planning to move to Williston, VT and I am wondering if anyone has chickens there? I heard there are coyotes, fixes and black bears there so I am wondering if that means I can not have chickens there. I love having chickens!

Hi, I am moving to Williston VT but heard there are black bears there. Do you still have chickens and have you had any problems with bears or coyotes or foxes?... I love my chix and would be so sad if something happened so I am wondering if I shouldn't have any there?

Search my login as I had succss hand feeding little balls of cereal I made with cereal from Petsmart, recommended by someone on this website. I never used a tube.

Thank you! I think the issues were from the head trauma. I learned I need to continue the Wry Neck treatment for 3 -6 weeks and add fish oil and vitamin B complex (instead of polyvisol). I am doing that. Since adding fish oil, Sweety's feet are getting a little more stronger every day :) I...

Yes I read it, thanks. I am now using 1000 IU twice a day. I see some strength daily in her feet :)

I have to say, I am now encouraged about the fish oil! After three days of treating her with it, today she is eating the food balls I put on the ground by herself, AND she just started walking a tad to get to them! She wasn't moving at all before! I am so excited!! I will keep you posted.

Hi,I I am considering getting Prednisone for my hen with Wry Neck but would prefer to use fish oil and not kill her immune system. I read that some people use fish oil instead and wondered if anyone was familiar with this and what dose? My hen is 10 months old and 3 pounds. Does anyone have...

Hi, I am considering getting Prednisone for my hen with Wry Neck but would prefer to use fish oil and not kill her immune system. Your post mentioned you used fish oil instead in your protocol and it worked. How much fish oil and how many pounds was your silkie? My barred rock is only 3...

For those of you that are like me and VERY hesitant to tube feed, I was told to use the same Kaytee Exact baby bird formula and make a mash out of it and make small balls. I used the Chick Started probiotic/electrolyte mix water and Nutridrench to make a mash with the Kaytee bird formula and...

Thanks Dawg, must have ended up there somehow because I was feeding her mealworms.

To make an accurate diagnosis, I need more information. What is her crop like (hard, big and squishy, etc.)? Is her abdomen swollen at all? Do you see any mites/lice on her skin or feathers? Any sneezing, gurgling, etc.? Do her legs seem paralyzed, or does she just seem too week to stand? Do you...

Please help!

I treated her for worms (what kind of worm is that in her poop?), and Coccidosis. She is on fish oil, vitamin e with selenium, Nutridrench and high nutrient baby bird formula I put in balls since she barely eats. I need to get her stronger to drink!! She does eat dried mealworms and scrambled...

Hmmm. I am pretty sure it was two days, maybe three, but there was mold on the top of some of it. I scooped it out and fed her other parts and now I am wondering if there was mold on the other parts? I am so disappointed I did that! I didn't have apple cider vinegar which I heard you should...

Thank you. They all seem fine now, but poor Sweety is still having issues and inside and I am concerned!

Did either of them have a crooked neck? Her neck is now up to normal height, but it became very crooked.

Follow up --I just had a realization that maybe the canned cat food I was feeding her for extra protein, while worming her, might have had botulism and read to give her vinegar in her water. I am doing that first thing this am! I also got the low dose Bayer aspirin and fish oil however, and...

How did she get better though? Just multivitamins? My hen is similar except her issue is her butt keeps going up in the air higher and higher and she falls over. Plus she didn't molt so I am wondering if it isn't Mareks?

Here is a photo of her sitting.
