Someone please help!! I don’t know what is wrong!!

I wrap my hand around the back of the head with my thumb on one side and index finger on the other. Use a fingernail to pull up on the tip of the top beak and then use the thumb and index finger at the corners of the beak to hold it open while you give it. This helps stablize them if they struggle or try to get loose, you can also use the same arm that is holding the beak to hold them against your body and keep wings from flapping. I usually have them in my lap while doing this, but you can also have one person hold while the other does the meds. When they are are larger and have wattles you can sometimes open the beak by pulling down on the wattles.

Purina Flock Raiser is higher calorie 20% protein similar to chick starter. Gamebird chick starter or meatbird feed has 22% protein and i higher calorie.

We are making a divider in the big brooder for her to walk around in during the day. She is not going to be in contact with anyone else. How would I tell if it’s vitamin deficiency or neurological

In young birds, vitamin deciciency is more common.

Thank you ! Do you think flying is an improvement? She has learned to spin out to be able to pull her neck back up.
