Hi All,
I think I got a bad batch of chickens for the breeder. Ever since I got them there has been problems.
My latest problem is my rooster started limping, I took him to the vet yesterday and he is antibiotics,
I have put my shell grit in there food and also vitamin powder in there water. The vet said that it is either a
lake of vitamins and shell grit or it Mareks. I got home today to find one of my other chickens with all the signs
of Mareks (poor thing). I have taken her out of the pen and all the girls look okay.
A couple of questions:
1. Can we eat the eggs that the other chickens are laying?
2. What is a good mix of food to feed sick chickens to help them get all the nutrients they need?
3. Can I give the girls and boy vitamins in the water everyday or should I fresh water in the coop as well?
4. Can you make a chicken overdose on vitamins in the water (it's been mixed with the right dosage)?
Thank you
