Araucana thread anyone?

My DT gal wry neck is okay one day, then on others it gets bad again. I've been giving her vit E pills so its not as bad, but some days you can tell its no bueno. I was reading up on it and will be trying two other products to see if it will help her. I'm really hoping that I won't lose her.

I hope she recovers quickly. I give the Kaeco Selemium and Vit E to my goats (selemium deficient area here). It's orange flavored.

Hoping it'll fix her. Too pretty to lose.

She is beautiful Does anyone know if there is a way to put her neck into place with a soft tube? An empty paper towel roll or toilet pape roll maybe? so she can drink water and eat “normally”

I am not sure if it is a good idea. she might get hurt.

She's fine most of the day. It gets bad at night time. I've been hand feeding her to make sure she is digesting some food.

She's fine one moment then another she dangles around.

Hola?

But I caught Mister the other day doing his business. Combs are turning red, can't wait for the eggs to come and do some test hatch.

Hoping everyone is doing well this week.

Had a false chicken egg song this morning. Rushed outside and the noise was coming from my Araucana pen. Nope, no egg. Someone is just practicing for the upcoming week.

Spouse always goes I respond faster for my chickens than when my kids cry.

Who else gets as excited as me?

I do, LOL. My Silverudd's Blue just started laying. I discovered the nest with six eggs already. They weren't cackling at all. Fertile eggs and I knew the combs were red but hadn't even seen Mister walking the walk yet. They're very sly. I bombarded everyone I knew with photos I'm months away from Araucana eggs- didn't get any pullets in my first hatch. It will be even more exciting when they do...so, post photos!

When can you tell sex with araucanas? Mine are going on 8 weeks and I'm not seeing cockerel traits on any of the 3.
