This is were Suzi and I have both gotten birds. Great place. Not sure if she ships eggs or if you’re interested in driving but I thought I’d share.

How much does she charge for her birds? I like the non-gmo feed.

I would stop the extra vitamins for now.
That has a lot of salt in it.

Hmmmmm.......
May need to post in the emergencies threads and see what
Eggcessive, aart, wyorp rock, azygous andc the other medics say on her condition.

Poor tiny human. That sounds miserable!!! I hope you find poop free keys.

Found the keys... In the poop bucket. At least they were on top.

There is always a bright side!

I am going to bring the Silkie inside and monitor her to see if I notice anything else.

Well, shouldn't the bucket be filled with poopsicles? So there shouldn't be that much poop on them, right?

They just redid their website... it used to say. Depending on breed and sometimes color. She had prices for hatching eggs, straight run and pullets. She changed her breed list too.

Could be worth emailing or calling. Very nice lady!

Poopsicles! I joke this weather gives new meaning to frozen chicken nuggets.

What's in the rooster booster as far as vitamins? How long on the vitamins?
It is possible to get to much of a good thing.

Like vitamin C humans get rid of the extra but many other vitamins build up in the system.

Agreed. Too much of a good thing...from a vet/nurse point of view...

Fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) as a rule stay in fat--> toxicity. Water soluble (Vit. C) gets peed out.

In humans and mammals, a vitamin overload can cause problems, as can too much of a "natural" or herbal supplement (I once read on here of some dumb twit who jammed a couple teaspoons or tablespoons!! of pepper down her dying bird's throat, to try to save it, because she read somewhere that it was good for them. No comment. Just sayin'.)

And birds? They are a whole 'nother ballgame. Avian metabolism very different than mammal metabolism.

I would follow any label instructions, specific to chickens.

I posted on the Emergency page. I noticed she kept stretching her neck and opening her beak, repeatedly. She did eat some grit. Other than a crop massage, I am at a loss.

Will she eat something like yogurt or cooked eggs
