Pullet is stumbling backwards! Help!

[wkeblejr]

@Creede I had a turkey poult recently that had developed a series of walking and balancing issues and the regimen I followed was:

• Poultry Nutri-Drench weight based dose once per day
• High protein feed
• Rooster Booster vitamins & electrolytes with lactobacillus to the water changed every other day even if it wasn't gone due to risk of pathogenic bacterial growth

I had my bird isolated so it didn't have it's food and water eaten/drank by other birds and after a week it began to take wobbly steps again and I went to every other day with the Nutri-Drench for another week. Now it's running around like nothing was ever the matter.

I recommend deworming her and checking the pullet and the coop for poultry mites as internal and external parasites can take a big toll on young chicks leaving them nutrient deprived, anaemic, weak and dizzy.

So far, I haven't noticed any mites. Been checking everyone's vent and area around about once a week. All of her poop has looked normal. I will look into deworming her. Thank you!

Love to hear that. Thank you for the information. She seems to be trending up after the last week or so. Not 100% though
