Hey Everyone,
I was reading another thread on here from a few months ago and someone was having a problem with their Silkie. The symptoms sounded exactly like what a lot of our MM chicks have been having (fall over, head/neck issues, drunken walk).
Another member told her that the electrolytes/vitamin supplement she was putting in her water was bad for them (just the electrolyte portion). Anyone else ever heard of that? I thought that, according to the label, I was supposed to keep using the quick chick until it was gone.
The member with the silkie stopped adding the electrolytes to the water and said that the silkie recovered somewhat and was walking better (even though the head thing was still an issue).
Just hoping to try anything that works! I don't want to rule out any cause! I wonder how many of us with chick problems are using quick chick or other electrolytes?
I would love to hear from you all.
Thanks!
