    Head Trauma?

    I have it separated from the rest for now, in a few days I’m going to move the rest to a larger outdoor coop. Any else I can do? I heard wry neck and slipped tendon could be from vitamin deficiencies from the parents or genetic as well.

    Thank you, is there any brand of oyster shell you recommend? I saw scratch and peck was a good one, although expensive, seemed to be the best choice for most birds then the pebble varieties.

    Wry neck and amprolium

    I have some chicks that I am currently treating for coccidia as I found that they had some bloody poop. They range 3-5 weeks old and seem to be doing better on the amprolium treatment. I did notice on day two that my frizzle silkie had developed wry neck. Could this be from me treating with...

    Bloody poop with chicks

    Ok will do. Do I need to worry about this later in the road. I assume all chickens housed outside carry a form of coccidia? Once these are treated am I fine to eventually introduce them to the rest of the flock?
