The only Thanksgiving song I can think of is Alice's Restaurant, I guess I'll have to play that for my Leghorns until the 29th, then it will be Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. That should keep the predators at bay

Put the gremlins out... They aren't too sure about being outside yet

That white one I'm praying is a pullet so I can keep it it's a Delaware/black jersey giant Cross.

How old is the white one? And can we have more pics of her?
Actually, it would be great if you'd start new thread to find out if she/he's a pullet/cockerel.

Hi all. This little guy is suffering from wry neck, we are on day two of vitamin e. Anyone else been through this and can give me some hope? He is doing ok in my eyes he eats and proons himself. How many days, weeks, months could this go on for? Can he recover fully? He gets one capsule twice daily of 400iu vitamin e with some tuna, is that enough? Thanks!!

I had a hen with a vitamin b deficiency at the start of this year, she wasn’t able to walk. Sadly she was taken by a fox so I don’t know if she would’ve gotten better.
Here’s an article I found

Have you posted a thread on the emergencies and diseases forum ? some of the folks there might be able to help.

Oh wow I'm so sorry!!! No I didn't make a thread because there are so many, so I knew what it was and how to treat him. Thank you for the article, I will read it asap!!! Thanks for replying too!

She was a gorgeous hen
I loved the colouring on her.
It seemed like she was slowly getting better but then the fox got her.

May I ask how you knew it was that vitamin deficiency? Mine is tucking his head underneath his body and walking backwards while shaking his head under him!
