You're welcome.
I really don't know. It sounds like you'd probably know better than me. We never noticed any issues with walking or standing, she was just a normal lady like the others. I'm not sure but I might get a more detailed report in a few weeks when lab tests come back. When I dropped...
Hi, I posted here last week about Nervous Nelly, our sick hen. I thought I would share her story.
We got her as a chick, and she was a nervous little thing. A Plymouth Barred Rock. We got her and 9 others from the same source that vaccinates for Marek's. You can see the direction this is...
