Thanks! Hugs are great.

Thanks for the “hug” I needed that! Tomorrow I’ll post a picture of the rest. Thank heavens they seem healthy :) going on 16 weeks and we’re just about ready to try free range. The coyotes do worry us tho… but we never see them in the day time and our ladies are safely locked up by dusk so...

Lost Roo yesterday. Wanted to let you wonderful people who helped me through this. I honestly had gotten to the point where I was thinking the most humane thing was to put him down. He just very slowly got worse to where he could hardly stand. It was devastating to watch. The best description I...

Merry Christmas to everyone!

I started him on B and E as soon as someone suggested it. I'm putting the electrolites with vitamins in his water (they've been getting that on and off since they arrived) and we started scrambled eggs yesterday. I don't have any probiotics on hand, but hubby is going to the store and I thought...

Wow, I'm not very technical, but here it is finally!

I have a small video of the shaking but can’t seem to get it to upload.

He’s still shaking when he walks but seems better standing. Is eating and drinking some but not much. Beak looks a little funny to me- attaching a picture. Also, wondering if he’s not seeing well. I tried to give him some chopped zucchini in my hand and he couldn’t seem to pick up a piece out of...

For Everyone that’s been so helpful…. Hubby and I carefully pulled the pin feather. It did bleed some but not too much. We sprayed it with Blue. Back in the pen at first he didn’t shake and I was ecstatic,but after a little while he started to again. I’m going to leave him in the pen for the...

Thank you! He was supposed to be vaccinated by Meyers Hatchery before being shipped so I don’t think that is the problem, at least I really hope not.

Thank you! It’s been 40 years since I had chickens and it seems to have gotten a lot more complicated 🤪 but the ladies have gotten a lot prettier too

Didn’t plan to buy medicated but rural king only had the grower in medicated. And I didn’t want to give them anymore of the layer. I’ll let you know how pulling it works out. How do you go about giving the vitamins? Do I mix with water and use a dropper or put on top of food?

It’s just got a little pink spot in the shaft. It’s on the side of his leg but near the foot. I’ve got him buttoned up for the night but I’ll check again in the morning to see if it’s touching the ground or his foot when he stands or walks. If it does do I pull it? And is there anything special...

One pin feather looks like it might have been picked a little but he doesn’t act like it’s sore. He’s very unhappy being in the pen by himself.

I forget they’re still chicks, they’re almost as big as my friends full grown girls that have been laying for at least a year.

They are feathered! I’ll check that. Thanks

It is unusual for him! He was the most energetic (and flighty) of all of them except my freebie blue Australorp. Sp? I forgot to tell you that I’ve been chopping up zucchini, carrots, celery pretty fine maybe twice a week. They love the zucchini! There’s just about a cottage cheese container...

Got him into a large wire dog kennel. He did poop again, smaller this time but still firm. I think all the rest of them poop pretty much liquid. Do roosters get constipated? He took one bite out of the food, didn’t touch the water, plopped down and panted a little. Maybe from the stress of me...

Not seeing any injuries, sores etc. vent looks ok. I’m getting really worried.

His crop seems soft.no swelling in the legs. When he walks (not much or very far) his legs shake and if he stands his whole body shakes. Doesn’t want to eat even out of my hand. Old “mash” didn’t have any calcium and had 23% protein. The new “grower” has 19% protein and and a little calcium...
