Re: [CHICKENS-101] weak feet

 

i would worm the hen ....... there is Valbazen that is highly tauted by so called chicken , dog , goat professionals , but not yet approved for poultry by our government authorities .
The only negative thing i've heard about it was from a shade tree chicken person (kinda like myself) say "it is to good of a wormer" ........ lol ..... just thought i'd throw that in .
I guess it was a way of saying "i was supposed to tell about this wormer first dag-nab-it" ............

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] weak feet

 

I have a five month old hen who suddenly developed weak feet. She can
lift herself and move around or take a step, but then falls. I have her
in a large pet carrier, separated from the others, and where she can
reach her food and water without struggling. What I found online is
that sometimes they may need deworming if they are having weak feet. I
don't have actual dewormer - have just been relying on garlic and hot
pepper in their water. But for now I have given her an extra dose of
garlic in her water, plus extra vitamins. Any other thoughts or
suggestions? She seems otherwise healthy, not in distress, is eating
and drinking. Sara SE Kansas
