Butter and Scotch are approximately six weeks old. I know it's probably too soon to tell but just curious your thoughts on pullet or roo for the heck of it. I did go ahead and order gender testing for them. The one that has me thrown off is the single comb. Pretty sure the other is a boy. I also...

UPDATE :) She is doing AMAZING!!!!!! She still lives indoors, but i would say we saw a turning point in December. She is not perfect, but she is upright, able to walk forward, eat on her own drink on her own. She has even flown and perched on our couch. She started laying eggs this weekend...

Hi! She is doing AMAZING!!!!!! She still lives indoors, but i would say we saw a turning point in December. She is not perfect, but she is upright, able to walk forward, eat on her own drink on her own. SHe has even flown and perches on our couch. She started laying eggs this weekend which...

Oh no i am so so so sorry. Sending big hugs. You did your best and she knew love. THat is all we can ask for at the end of the day. Doesnt make the sting any less. :( My girl is still the same. I joined a special needs cross beak group on Facebook so I have switched up some of her routine. We...

Ugh I feel all your pain. From the flock integration dynamics to the wry neck. I love my flock but this year has been so challenging. Does your girl actually eat the whole E capsule? I have been cracking on into her food but maybe this is better route? Just not sure if she would go for it. she...

OMG this is my life currently.. :( going on Day 16 here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/wry-neck-s-o-s.1601965/ I just came to say I am so sorry you're dealing with it. It is my first time with this condition and it breaks my heart. And i too struggle to know if/when its time. Even...

Hiiiii, I am so sorry to hear you are dealing with this. I wish I had a better update, but we are now going on Day 16 with no major improvement. She is upright sometimes, and when I can take her outside to peck around and also protect her from the flock, she has some better moments, but...

thank you so much. It has been a rough couple months with my birds after three years of fairly easy street :( or things i could troubleshoot on my own. to top off my favorite duck passed away unexpectedly. i appreciate the kind thoughts <3

Thank you so much! I am open to anything at this point. Is that regimen once a day? The only things she is really able to eat easily right now are scrambled eggs or wet cat foot. Is that alright as her main feed source currently? Along with the poultry cell and nutridrench?

Hello all, So I am fairly certain I am dealing with wry neck. Symptoms began Oct. 10 very subtly, but we pulled her into the house because she was walking in circles. It escalated fast and the following day she was contorted and walking backwards. We began the pea-sized amount of Vitamin...

Wow thank you!! I didn’t think a water treatment was around. Appreciate this very much
