Chicken with bony wings?!

[LindsayDarling]

I will keep updates! Im gonna get some feather fixer today. I havent bonded w my roos like I have my hens. Ive had them since March 12th. It was a pretty traumatic change of owners for them. They were snowed in w 5 ft. Of snow on top of a mtn where my friends lived w them. They had to leave the area because a tree fell on their home. My husband hiked in( cldnt drive in even w 4 wheel) and put them in a huge dog kennel w a rope tied to it, which he pulled for 2 miles in the snow. They wldve died up there So still working on it and figuring this chicken gig out! Boy I did not know whatI was in for! Didnt expect to fall o in love w them.

Remember that the feather fixer feed probably won't cause any change in appearance to her wing feathers until the damaged shafts fall out during molt in the Fall. (It May help the missing back feathers regrow now.) And wow, thanks for explaining exactly how you acquired your new flock. What state (or country) do you live in? Just curious, because how you came to aquire your new chickens is quite the survival story!

I live in Northern California. We experienced record cold n storms this yr. It hadnt snowed like it did in 30 yrs! We had been on the fence about getting chickens for yrs. But this really got us in gear. We cldnt let them die up there!

My husband is looking at the ivermectin at our local tractor supply- the only one available has includes clorsulon. Is this safe for chickens?

Clorsulon is a wormer for liver flukes. It's safe for chickens.

I hope you can get her healed up soon! I too live in the middle of nowhere, it's either drive several hours or order it on line. But I love the peace and quiet.
