    3yr old hen, sudden mystery wry neck, PLZ HELP. Coccidia related? Vitamin or no vitamins?

    I think I might be able to buy it from sites w/o rx but the only suppliers are online so it'll be a shipping wait. I'm about to look into it more rn. I've always assumed she has internal reproduction issues, I'm just trying to fig out which order to tackle all this problem shooting in. It's soft...

    3yr old hen, sudden mystery wry neck, PLZ HELP. Coccidia related? Vitamin or no vitamins?

    I'm so frustrated I could cry. Nowhere sells fish mox w/o perspcription unless I have it shipped. Now I've come across Baytril on here which apparently also has to be shipped & idk what strength bc I've never heard of it. She's been eating mash w/ a sprinkle of oat & 1/2 to a full egg a day...

    3yr old hen, sudden mystery wry neck, PLZ HELP. Coccidia related? Vitamin or no vitamins?

    Thanks. I recently read to give them selenium also to help w E absorption. Are you familiar w/ the dosage on that too? I'm still curious about the bacterial infection though that an antibiotic would help. Or if I should treat w/ Corid since vitamin B deficiency leads to wry neck. The only reason...

    3yr old hen, sudden mystery wry neck, PLZ HELP. Coccidia related? Vitamin or no vitamins?

    I've read of fatty liver & mortality in birds. That's why I follow the 10% rule. I just weighed her a little over a month ago and she was 6 lbs. I also read to look for bulging/ fattiness bw their legs & toward the back, which she doesn't seem to have anything unusual going on there. You keep...

    3yr old hen, sudden mystery wry neck, PLZ HELP. Coccidia related? Vitamin or no vitamins?

    I've seen ppl talk about it. Is that something you can get at like, a farm store or Walmart? I can look it up. Can you tell me how infections lead to wry neck? & wouldn't there be other symptoms of infection before hand? I'm so confused. The only thing I've read about infection wise that an...

    3yr old hen, sudden mystery wry neck, PLZ HELP. Coccidia related? Vitamin or no vitamins?

    I appreciate your feedback but I'm totally unclear on the connection. She was never a regular layer, even when she was an outdoor chicken. Her bouts of looser stools usually happen when she's eaten a bunch of worms & bugs outside, like after the rain when they're everywhere. That's how I learned...

    3yr old hen, sudden mystery wry neck, PLZ HELP. Coccidia related? Vitamin or no vitamins?

    She used to be free range, I guess I was trying to make up for what she's not getting outside anymore. I think the majority of what she eats in a day is her feed, the amts of additional foods I give her are super small amounts- I try to go by the 10% rule. Plus, she's not overweight, which I...

    Peep- the curve her neck, not her crop, even though she just did finish eating some mash. (Tues 8/15)

    Hi all. Bare w/ me in this mystery... My 3yr old, appx 6 lb, Barred Rock layer hen, Peep, is the lone survivor of an attack on the flock. Long story short, she fast became an indoor chicken & a very special animal companion to my household. She free ranges daily w/ supervision, weather...
