Subject: Weak standing peachick Author: jennifer (concern) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:07:35 07/11/07 Wed I have one peachick that is about 3 weeks old. She was doing fine until last week when I noticed she was laying down more than the other.It seems as iff one leg is weaker than the other. I have been feeding chick starter, but mixed a little turkey starter in with the food. In three days I noticed her walking funny. All the other chicks of varios ages are doing fine. She is drinking and eating, and jumps around at times. I don't know what I can do for her.Any thoughts? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
