    Please help. Vet has no idea

    12 week old polish started with sudden onset of ataxia with neck twisting and jerking 6 days ago. Progressed to sitting to straight spastic legs. Wings work fine as she tries to fly. Legs are hypertonic. If I prop her chest to force her legs in the correct position she tries to run and move them...

    Nutri-Drench compared to Poly-Vi-Sol

    As of this posting, we have two 3 month old Turkins that are having leg strength issues that I think is being caused by a vitamin deficiency after treating Coccidiosis with Corid since it basically works by blocking vitamin absorption from the protozoa (and chicken). In my research to come up...

    Horrible hatch rate, deaths throughout the stages. Please help diagnose.

    Okay, so I am having a terrible time hatching chicks. I know that most of us here keep our chicks backyard or on a small farm, and I am no different. I provide a balanced layer feed ration. Most of my flocks are around 1:5 gender ratio. My birds have a lot of places they can run and escape...

    Wry Neck - Nutrition Question...

    I've lost 3 young chickens in the last 3 weeks to what I believe to be Wry Neck. After reading about the solution being vitamin E and Selenium, I was wondering how they could be vitamin deficient when I've had them on a medicated chick starter. They are all about 12-14 weeks old. I'm just...

    Marek's or Vitamin Deficiency: 10 day chick can't walk, falling over, sitting on haunches!

    this is my first time with chicks. On 7/13 I brought home 4, 2 day old chicks from a local farm store-don't know where chicks came from. I set up a brooder in an oversized clear plastic storage container, with pine shaving, water, and food (just chick starter they gave me in unmarked bag at farm...
