Ok - My wee chick has a deformity. She has a curved breast bone. Our vet being the helpful person he is just said neck her! - I don;t think he would have said the same thing if she was a parrot! - Anyhow I got home and decided to reserch myself as we tend to have to do a lot with our chickens. I looked up the Avian medical site and discovered I can help her!!!!!!!! Apparently !!!!!!!!!!! But I need to slow her growth down and introduce more Vitamin B1 and B2 and also extra calcium. How do I do this without hurting her more???? At the moment she is a lot better then she was in that we thought she was dieing but is now getting back up on her feet to feed and drink. So I need to help her as much as I can. She is 14 weeks old so has a lot of growing time. I am wondering if it is long enough to try to correct some of the curve????
Can anyone come up with a good diet idea for her that will give her all she needs and also add to it the extras to help her bones.
