@campingshaws , Poly Vi Sol has only 5 IU per 1ml. The Mercks manual says this:

"Only stabilized fat should be used in feeds. Adequate levels of stabilized vitamin E should be used in conjunction with a commercial antioxidant and at least 0.3 ppm selenium. Signs of exudative diathesis and muscular dystrophy due to vitamin E deficiency can be reversed if treatment is begun early by administering vitamin E through the feed or drinking water. Oral administration of a single dose of vitamin E (300 IU per bird) usually causes remission."

My capsules are 1000 IU, and I think I gave each chick a couple of drops. They were better a little the next day, and 100% normal after a second dose.

Don't get you hopes up, it's really just my best guess... try giving pure E and see if that helps.

From my understanding, the American Poultry Association only recognizes the spellings Ameraucana and Araucana. Now it doesn't really matter if you're just wanting blue eggs, but for people who want showbirds and purebred birds it's something you should pay attention to.

we are just discussing how a couple of Hatcheries have colored egg layers listed. To the uninformed it could really be an issue, though the description of all kinds of egg colors should be a dead giveaway.

No but lots of people volunteer an H anyway.

Off for my 20 min. power nap before my pool league. I got up before 4am.

Is that what's going on? Sorry for the misunderstanding, I thought we were talking about the proper spelling of the breed names.
