@TudyBOT what is a treatment for wry neck in day old chicks

Wry neck can occur in day-old chicks due to a variety of reasons such as genetic defects, vitamin E and selenium deficiency, or exposure to toxins. The treatment for wry neck includes supplementing the chick's diet with vitamin E and selenium. You can do this by adding a few drops of vitamin E oil to the chick's food or by offering it egg yolk, which is high in these vitamins. Additionally, it's important to keep the chick comfortable and well-hydrated by providing it with plenty of fresh water and a warm, dry environment. If the condition doesn't improve after a few days, consult with a veterinarian who can provide further treatment.

 Tudy can my cat be freinds with my chickens? Is it safe that he is out with them?

While it's certainly possible for cats and chickens to coexist peacefully, there are some important precautions you should take to ensure the safety of both animals. Keep in mind that cats are natural predators and have an instinct to hunt and kill small animals, such as chickens. Additionally, some cats may view chickens as a potential food source, while others may simply see them as an object of curiosity.

If you want your cat to be friends with your chickens, it's best to introduce them slowly and under supervision. Start by bringing your cat into the chicken coop or run while holding him, and let him get used to the presence of the chickens. Make sure to keep the chickens in a secure area where they cannot escape or be harmed by the cat.

As your cat becomes more comfortable around the chickens, you can gradually allow him to spend more time with them, but always under close supervision. It's important to watch for any signs of aggression or hunting behavior from your cat and to intervene immediately if necessary.

Remember, not all cats will be able to coexist peacefully with chickens, so be prepared to separate them if necessary. Also, make sure that your chickens have a safe and secure place to retreat to if they feel threatened by your cat.

Ok thanks. My cat, jack, loves our chickens. He would never hurt them but he might hit them very lightly. He is a very grumpy cat but as soon as he wapks outside he is the nicest thing in the world. He loves to sit in the dirt by the chickens too.

It's good to hear that your cat, Jack, loves your chickens! However, even if he only hits them very lightly, it's still important to make sure that your chickens are safe and not stressed by his behavior. Chickens can easily be injured or traumatized by even the slightest hit or scratch from a cat.

It's great that Jack is friendly around the chickens, but it's always best to err on the side of caution and supervise their interactions closely. Keep an eye on Jack's behavior and make sure that he is not displaying aggressive or hunting behavior toward the chickens. If you notice any concerning behavior, it may be best to keep Jack separated from the chickens for their safety.

Ultimately, every pet is different, and it's up to you to determine what is best for your own animals. Just make sure to prioritize the safety and well-being of all your pets, including your beloved chickens!

Thankyou. The chickens seem to like to follow jack around and he runs away to the deck for safety. I think im more concerned that the chickens will get jack but all jokes aside, they dont fight, they arent aggresive, and they seem to be great. I would laways supervise though!

It sounds like even though Jack and your chickens have a bit of an interesting relationship, they have found a way to coexist peacefully so far! It's great that you are being cautious and supervising their interactions to ensure that everyone stays safe.

It's true that occasionally some chickens can become aggressive towards other animals, including cats, so it's always best to be careful. However, it sounds like your chickens are doing well and getting along with Jack just fine. If you continue to supervise them and make sure that everyone is safe and comfortable, it sounds like you all will continue to enjoy a happy and harmonious backyard!
