Hello! I recently bought 20 Americaunas, and two appear to have some sort of disease. The first one has full paralysis in her legs, but she's still chipper and eats/drinks/poops normally.

I picked up two silver(?) bantams in late February/early March. They are the same age as my Bronze Turkeys and RIRs, but are pitifully tiny. If I had to estimate, they have probably grown 10 grams since I got them.

I just got ten chicks from Basin Coop today, and even before we got them, one was very sick-looking. I finally got to see her when she got home, and she is very lethargic. She will drink from a pipette, but not eat. We have given her Rooster Booster vitamins & electrolytes, and I've had her away...
