    Full Mottle(d) Jacket.. - my journey to a colorful coop...

    Rest in peace "Coq papy" My dear gentlemen rooster died today of unknown cause. Within 24h he lost all is power and will. The vet said that he was nearly starved and dehydrated , although I saw him eating 48h ago, and on a regular basis before. He got vitamin shots and was hydrated, taken in...

    And speaking of the circle of life...found my not-so-old rooster this morning staggering around, having trouble to stay upright, comb very purple... he nearly fell when hopping out the coop, but went on picking the food. Got a vet appointment this evening. I hope not it's the same as JC.. this...

    The circle of life.. When I came home from the vet with JC I found three pipped eggs in the incubator (right on time, but I hadn't really paid attention today) and the first one has already hatched two hours after. A little wheaten mottled chick (confirmation hatch from my mille-fleur hen and...

    JC didn't make it. Went back to the vet with her today, because no improvement since Friday. We decided to euthanize her. Although she was eating when possible, and on high dosed vitamins, she wasn't able to get up, just creeping around the box on on side with feet trembling. I still hope it was...

    The tiny monochromes are celebrating there 14 days. They seem not to grow (but they do) and are still very tiny, compared with the M Fs. I'm not sure the grayish are really blue or will get black completely. If not, it's a very very slate blue...

    4 weeks update on the mille-fleurs... the little ones are doing great. I was afraid, what ever JC had caught might spread, but I don't think they have the same conditions, nor that it's contagious. The cockerels have a pleasant youngster-attitude 🤭, and getting wither by the day, the pullets are...

    If vitamin deficiency - how long before you see improvement

    No I hadn't yet dewormed them. They were inside and only 4 weeks old, so I hadn't thought about that. I had planned to deworm the groupe once after having them moved in with the adults. Her poop is astonishingly normal considering she's eating a bit aleatorique. But I will observe and keep it...

    If vitamin deficiency - how long before you see improvement

    At the beginning I gave her her usual chick starter mashed up with boiled egg and vitamins mixed up. But the don't seem to like the pasty consistence sticker to her beak. She kept flipping her head and tapping the box wall to clean it. She has chickens starter 24/7 in her box. I tried to feed...

    If vitamin deficiency - how long before you see improvement

    A few hours after the second injection and it seems she's getting slightly better. While she is unable to lift her self or eat in the litter box, the wood chips not allowing any grip, I take her out into a box with a rippled mat where she has more adherence. I put food inside and she keeps on...

    Full Mottle(d) Jacket.. - my journey to a colorful coop...

    I had eggs who traveled 8 days via mail and 50% success, other who traveled 48h-72h and 10% success. All together I had around 25% hatching rate from mail ordered eggs. But I received two batches from the same source where only 2 of 20 eggs were properly fertile. So I think he had a problem with...

    There are those happy days...and then are the other days... Went to the vet with JC, thinking having her euthanized, because she was deteriorating. The vet proposed to treat her with Vitamin injections for a couple of days, maybe that will do the trick. Now I have to mount the courage to inject...

    Vitamin treatment for paralysis... dosage?

    When I told the vet I've tried it with Vitamins, he told me sarcastically" So, you intoxicated her!" - fortunately I knew it's not the case, otherwise I might have felt bad...

    Vitamin treatment for paralysis... dosage?

    I have a similar case, but the chick is only for weeks old. Her symptoms getting worse from slightly lame on Sunday to laying on one side and not getting up today. I gave her 400 iE Vitamin E (but I'm not sure how much she really swallowed) and switched to crushed pellets of VitE for my horses...

    If vitamin deficiency - how long before you see improvement

    Went to the vet today, initially for having her euthanized. Although she ate reasonably quantités (noodles, cheese...), she's laying on one side all the time and didn't go up anymore like the days before. But the vet wasn't yet ready to let her go and offered me 5 days of intraabdominal vitamin...

    If vitamin deficiency - how long before you see improvement

    Day three... Yesterday evening she ate a good amount of cooked rice, and a slice of cucumber. Today she's very week again. I have the impression that an hour or two after giving vitamin supplements she get better, to degrade only few hours afterwards again. I tried to find a vet this morning...
