From what I have seen it is a vitamin deficincy...and treatable but I dont remember with what...do a search of the forums!! I didnt know about the abbeville thing...when is it? I may be able to go!!! I am hoping to go sat to anderson and get another self blue bantam but....

Oh and we named the assaulted rooster LUCKY BIG BOY!!

Poly-vi-sol, without iron will help it alot. I remember reading about it on here when I was trying to find out information about the vitamins. Do a search for wry neck and poly-vi-sol and you should be able to find the dosage. From what I read, it works pretty fast.

Ive given her vitimens for newborn pups and she's still alive with that and water.. of course she is litterally upside down its crazy she has this kink in her neck you can feel.... thought about having my husband take her outside for me.. right now she is living in one of colotns shirts in my drawer next to me on my computer table in the kitchen.. its not like seh can walk ... poor little thing.. Ill try to get the poly-sol tomorrow.. thanks.

Greenwood, SC. here
I found several of mine on Freecycle.com if you are not a member its free and easy to join. In fact i know of one lady that has several Cochin Roo's that she is giving away to a good home. My Roo Coach is from her.

You know it was so nice and cool this morning but then this afternoon Phew! It was a mistake to get out of my "lounge around house cloths" and into my clothes for school then go move around a few chicken cages. All I wanted was to get the small one so I could go pick up my quail tonight. My georgia giants quail eggs fell through, so I'm starting out with regular pharaoh quail- but they are already hatched! Talk about instant gratification

Guess this means "I" will be the one outside in the morning finishing up the quail pen. The framing is pretty much done, all I have to do is build a door and put up the hardware cloth. That reminds me, gotta stop and get some GBS on the way to class! Everyone have a nice evening!

The weather should be nicer next week. It usually rains Labor Day or at least is misting and a bit cooler. Then it slowly winds up the summer and gets very cool at night while super duper nice during the day. Take advantage of it!

Monday morning rooster take out should be nice. I plan to start about 9 am to get rid of all the extras I have that are in good weight right now. So many are free ranging they run everything off. I suppose I need to put them up where they can fatten a bit for a few weeks.




Welcome, annetteu! We are glad to see you here and glad to see Coach. What a big looking boy!
