    Will this correct itself over time?

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    I’ve been giving her the nutri-drench and the rooster booster via syringe. She has improved drastically and is not eating the feed on her own. Her head is still tilted. I’ll continue giving the vitamins to see if there is further improvement. Thanks for your advice guys. I really appreciate it.

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    Thank you for taking the time. I have the rooster booster b12 +k. Its drinking that but only when we can feed it. Its activity level is improved since she started getting hydration. Growth wise it is falling behind its siblings. This is making me think it isn't able to eat. I've seen her try and...

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    The chick is not eating enough of the mashed or dry dumor. She’s improved some being better hydrated, but her neck is still doing the thing. I’m going to try to find a liquid e supplement tomorrow and try the fish oil for the d. Does anyone have any suggestions about dosing? Any further advice...

    We got it drink an ml of water with .3mls of rooster booster +k. Letting it rest and we’re going to try and make a mash of chick starter. I have vitamin d tablets for humans, I also have fish oil, which contain vitamin d. I don’t have any e.

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    That was my first thought. Every time she tries to eat she just ends up doing somersaulting in the feed.

    Chick can’t lift its head. What do I do?

    I have a strange issue with one of my hatchlings. It will not lift its head, almost like it can’t. It’s obviously hungry and thirsty but when I try to feed it, it just drags its head around the floor or my hand. What do I do?

    Brought the last brood in this morning

    Pepper’s little brood is doing well, though she is definitely stressed herself. But she’s calmed down considerably since the other day. All four of her babies are safely tucked under her at the moment. She doesn’t let them out much.

    Brought the last brood in this morning

    Lacey’s babies are doing good. I think Miracle might be blind on one eye. She keeps it closed most of the time and there’s a pale white ring in it. She wasn’t cooperative for a photo of it, but the one pic I did get didn’t show the ring.

    Brought the last brood in this morning

    Last brood is seven. That makes 15 between the three mamas. Salt was being too “hostile” and got left out side. She’s still got two eggs she’s sitting on so might as well stay out there. But she was attacking Pepper, Lacey, and their respective chicks. We tried putting her chicks with Pepper and...

    New clutch hatching, need a smidge of advice

    Honestly, I don’t want to try baiting. We’ve been lucky for a lack of raccoons. I do not want to draw any trash pandas to the property. There is a symbiotic relationship with the possum, this property, and the lack of mice and rats that used to plague us. The possum does not mess with the adult...

    New clutch hatching, need a smidge of advice

    Can’t find its burrow. I’ve been looking to harvest that miserable marsupial for months now. Set traps, the whole nine yards…just keep catching hares. Even tried sending the huskies after the bugger. That gave me an idea where he’s at. Called fwc, no help. But at the same time, I haven’t seen...

    New clutch hatching, need a smidge of advice

    Hey guys, another of our 100% free range hens has a clutch that started hatching. There’s two babies so far, and three more eggs. I want to let the clutch finish hatching before we bring them in, my wife wants to bring the nest in now before our resident possum has a chance to ‘harvest’ them...

    Help!!!! Helping chicks hatch

    Um, stop what? We always bring the nests inside when birds hatch. Too many predators here, not watching another clutch disappear one by one. And the heat lamp was only there for the two birds that couldn’t get out of the shells cause mama left gave up on them. We left the heat lamp on in case...
