I have not been on for a some time because of internet problems and I had 3 sick goats. I am thinking of making soap with my goats milk. I am getting almost a gallon a day from 1. My kids are not drinking it like I thought they would. so right now i have 2 gallons in my fridge and the cats and dogs are getting the rest. They have very shiny and soft coats now :)
 
This is a 12-week-old “Leghorn”. I haven’t had a white bird in years. Is that really a white Rock?

Help!

One of my 6 week old chicks has wry neck now. She can only look down, is still eating and drinking and pooping. But she does spasm out once in a while where she has no control over her neck. I'm doing what I can - holding her to calm her, helping her drink and eat. I put chick vitamins in her water & read that vitamin E will solve this problem.

Do I just buy human capsules of vitamin E and mix with her water? Will this work?

You'll want to do vitamin E and selenium for wry neck. I've read that vitamin A works against the absorbtion of vitamin E so when I'm treating for wry neck, I avoid the multivitamin but that's just me. I use half a tablet of selenium (I don't engender the exact dosage and I'm unfortunately out of it rightnow) and a few drops of vitamin E. Mix it together and give via an eye dropper. If you do want to add the multivitamin, I'd only add a drop. Give this twice a day.

Certainly doesn't look leghorn to me, the ones I had held their tails fanned very upright and were much more slender through the body.
Looks more like a rock or a chantecler to me. Someone at the hatchery may have mixed up a bin.

I have to apologize that I can’t remember how many drops to give the chick. I think it’s one.
@Auroradream26 Do you remember?

Thank you, I will send my hubby to the store for that when he is done with work. For now, I am giving her Nutri-drench and their water now has a electrolyte/vitamin packet mixed in too. Poor thing. How quickly will this work? If at all?

Thanks, I'll get Vitamin E and Selenium asap.
 
Ana is at it again! She brought her two little cockerels out today for the first time. I cringe though every time she does that without me there to help. It's about a 4 ft drop out the side door of the coop!

My one hander seems to have taken offense to her though. I don't know if it's because she's been in the nest for a few weeks and he's rarely seen her or if it's something to do with the babies. He charged her earlier but didn't get her :confused:
