Okies in the BYC The Original

[Plain Old Dee]

Quote:
Wry neck, according to the websites and discussion on BYC, is when the head is twisted/bent. Can be caused by vitamin/mineral deficiency (hence the use of multivitamins), or some suggest it could be hereditary or even a head injury caused by a peck to the head (which would primarily affected birds with vaulted skulls, like these silkies). The worse the case of wry neck, the higher the likelyhood that the chick won't survive it. They become unable to eat/drink, running around in circles, unable to stand up straight, etc.

Odd question... can I feed handfeeding formula for parrots to the chick for supplementation? I've got leftover Kaytee Exact handfeeding formula powder in the freezer. If not, no biggie... but I was thinking "extra calories". I also have little jars of baby food (parrot treats

)

Not an odd question at all! I have no personal experience with it, but I have seen several people here on BYC actually recommend the parrot formula for hens/chicks that are poorly.

Hope your little one recovers quickly!

Get an apple! I don't know if you saw the post yesterday, but they are great! I am a programmer and was very much used to regular PC's, but my husband and another good friend talked me into getting an apple for my new computer for school. I am really glad I did. I have not had one problem with it in over two years. Teachers and students get discounts on them. We bought another one this summer at Best Buy and they even honored the Teacher/Student discount program along with a free IPOD touch, so we were even able to do the 0% interest for a year on it.

I know I have about had it with IE8... I have had nothing but problems with it.... Vista has been OK so far.... But IE8... they need to stuff that thing.... horrible program....

I use Safari.

Well, yes and no. If I call in late, I'll be able to treat the Silkie before he gets home from taking his son to have his leg brace re-sized (after all day testing in Shawnee). It'll be close to 6 before they get done with that.

You know I would maybe even just call in sick. Besides you have a baby that is sick, do they need to know which baby is sick (human/chick, hehehe)?

Thank you for the explanation. So is this similar to some chickens who develop a crooked back.

I had a talk with a hawk a little bit ago. Told him he needs to go and find some where else to hunt for his dinner. My chickens are for me, not him. Anyways, they killed a couple of my GF's chickens down the way and now I think they are waiting for me to let mine back out to free range, but I am scared to, because the minute I go inside they come back. I can even hear them a few moments after I go inside out their mocking me. What do I do? Short of getting one of those pink hello kitty AR-15's (I think that's what you guys were talking about yesterday).

Boxing, basketball, and baseball are three of them. He said two were high school and two were outside of school. Baseball and basketball are the two high school sports, I'm betting. Boxing is one outside school. No red blooded American teen boy would be caught dead playing softball in the 70s, so I'm sticking with golf for number four.

I am thinking martial arts of some kind because it was outside of school.

Kung-Fu! Kwai Chang Caine in the flesh!

That's what I like about you, Henny. You always say exactly what is on your mind. We never have to wonder what you are thinking.

You can try this to clean your computer. It is what we use for all of our customers:

Go to www.malwarebytes.org and on the left side of the screen choose the Download free version. Follow the steps to the download (you will be downloading a file named mbam.exe) after the download completes run the file. It will install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and start the service. You will need to pick the update tab and update to the latest pattern then go back to thescaner tap and perform a quick scan. The system will find spyware, adware, malware, virus, trojans etc. When the scan completes let the system Fix the problems

Just for safety I would reboot your computer and rescan it. This should clean your computer. It will also help speed your system up.

Hope this helps. I hate the DarkSide

of the computer world.

Anyone else on the forum that needs a great "free" tool to keep your computer clean I would suggest you try this one. I use it on hundreds of computers and it is the best one I have found to date.

Oh I didn't even think about this until reading this, but also another good computer cleaner is CCleaner, it can be downloaded from http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
You will look over to the right and see download latest version. It is free and it works great. I used it for years on my home PC's and work PC's. In fact, my mother in-law was having problems with her computer the other night and I ran this and it fixed all of her problems. I would use the slow scan the first time to get everything fixed. Her computer wouldn't even shut down and she was just having to pull the plug, not good. I keep trying to tell her to let me know when she has problems, but I only hear about them when I go out there or my daughter tells me. Anyways, her computer is working great now. At least for the moment til the next problem, hehehe darn PC's.​
