Woke up this morning and her crop was not full. I think she just over ate since she was so hungry after everything this poor little one has been through. Now she just needs to grow!
Thank you for your advice.
I do have them on medicated feed since they have no been vaccinated for cocci. Should I switch? Should I take their food away at night or separate her and take it away from her? Do I still feed her mesh that I make her? Doesn't Poly V sol take care of the Thiamine? So is full crop a bad thing? I...
Wanted to update on baby chick. I can't believe it but this little chick is back with the flock! I never though she would make it. I fed her and gave her vitamins and vitamin E, electrolytes and lots of TLC. This girl has a will to live. It seems she has no problems coming back to the...
I saw this at tractor supply but it didn't seem to have Vit B1 ( I don't think) but I think I will get it anyway. I heard that VIt E is also good and it has it. This chick has such a will to live. I can't believe how strong she is even with not eating a whole lot. She wants to do everything...

Thanks for the info. I read it I tried to stretching in case her tendon was dislocated. She is drinking water and eating a little but wants to sleep mostly. (not good) she shakes her head a lot (?). Maybe there is more going on than I can help with. I will see how she is in the morning. Kills me...
I have pine shaving with paper towels on top (so they will peck at food not shavings) and I made a water bottle with the nipples and I also have a chick water bowl (the ones you buy at tractor supply for baby chicks) and I have a very small cat dish for their food. I have a little card board box...
Ok I am beginning to think I am not cut out for raising chickens. This is to hard for me! Ok I am starting a new thread for advice. To update, my first flock I got from a backyard breeder that I thought vaccinated but lost 3 out of 4 (two to Marek's and one to Ovarian Ca) My last hen went broody...
