vitamin deficency

Started out 1 of my amerecaumas was limping and wobbling around on their hocks. One leg seemed injured. Then his hatch mate is now having the same issue and off balance and acting like their legs are lame and weak and fall over eachother. They're in an XL crate in quarantine with food water and...

Has anyone dealt with mareks and can give me some insight on the beginning stages? I have 2 amerecaunas from the same place a friend got them from a hatchery. They're about 4 months old now have been in my flock since 6 weeks. No new additions no change since getting them. 2 days ago one was...

I have an 8 week old chick who was starting to show some signs of leg paralysis a few days ago. I think it's a vitamin deficiency.. the bird is not showing any other signs of Marek's which was what I was most worried about. The only poultry vitamins I was able to find at my local farm store...

We recently bought a Jamieson vitamin D3 (400 iu) supplement for my duck. She’s two years old and has a vitamin d deficiency. We don’t go outside often, but I’ve been opening the curtains for her in the morning for her to get some sunshine. I was wondering how much I should feed her this...

Hey I have a chick she's about 6 weeks old and just finished a round of Albon 5% oral suspension for coccidia. Now she seems listless and off balance. Her brothers and sisters are fine. I suspect a vitamin deficiency, though an online vet suggested possible overdose. Could I get some advice on...

I have a barred rock that is about 20 weeks old. She has developed this odd type of crouch walking. Looks like the equivalent of army crawling, but for chickens. I thought maybe she was egg bound so I gloved up and put petroleum jelly on my finger and inserted it into the vent about two inches...

Hi there! I’m a first time flock owner. All of my girls are about a year and a half now, I have 4 ameracaunas that I got as chicks (unvaccinated). The seeming leader of the flock, Joyce, has been acting odd since at least Monday 6/5, but probably Sunday, too. When I found her, she was mostly...

Hi everyone, i apologize for a lengthy post. Please bear with me, I could really use some support! There will be a recap at the end to provide a quick summary but I think the details are important. I have two 8 month old duck hens. Both silver appleyard sisters. One got foamy eye about a month...

I'm really hoping somebody can help me solve the mystery of what's going on with my little silkie. She developed wry neck symptoms at 27 weeks. It was mild thankfully, but she had the classic dropping of the head. I brought her inside with my other silkie hen, because they get along very well...

I have a 3 day old silkie whose neck is severely twisted. My question is about what vitamins to give. I am giving vitamin e capsules 400iu about 2 capsules per day. A few drops of straight poultry cell undiluted. And a liquidy mash of her food, water, and a little of the above vitamins (...

I went to let my chickens( almost 17 weeks old) out yesterday morning and found one of my girls on the ground and falling face forward when she tried to get up and walk. I sent the video to a friend and told me it looked like Marek disease and I needed to separate her. I did separate her and was...

This chick was hatched on Feb 16, 2022. It’s siblings feathers look normal but this little ones looks like fur instead. I brought this one back into the brooder box because it was chirping alot and I thought maybe it’s feathers weren’t fully feathered out yet, it was inside for 2 days. I...

I have a hen who is about 9ish months old. First she had coccidiosis, all chickens was treated with corid. Right after that she had a impacted crop which I did take her to the vet for and she was given metoclopramide 5 ml. While still dealing with the crop issue I took her back to the vet 2...

I’m helping a friend raise five chickens. After driving out to his acreage I noticed that one of his chicks was WAY too small for her age, she’s a lavender Orpington, two weeks old and about a third the size of the largest chick (all the same age). After researching, I think she’s deficient in...

Ok so I posted in ducks, but didn't really get any reply. Not sure of the breed. 2 hatchling ducklings. 3 to 5 days old. Free ranged with extra feed. 5 other large ducks in the enclosure mix of boys and girls. 4pm yesterday all ok. 6.30pm one was stuck in the pond, helped it out, it's...
