Thank you for the responses. The door to the coop gets left wide open during the day and there are small holes in the walls. I actually don't have any pictures but I'll try to get some tomorrow. There is one window that opens at the top of the coop right in front of the roost that I have been...

The weather was pretty good, we had some rain for a few days, temperatures were around 70s and then it went straight to 40s-20s last week. Two hens have had a pale comb since then (I will add a picture of one of them). I'm guessing it is just from the cold. Another hen I noticed was breathing...

The hen with the limp is still (barely noticeably) limping. I saw yesterday that she had her foot curled and picked up. Today I noticed that another hen was kind of limping. I picked him her up and she was curling her toes on the foot she was limping on. Didn't see a scab but she was fighting so...

We had 5 roosters with him and a total of 25 hens. 13 pulleys and 3 cockerels I'm the younger flock. And 2 roosters with 14 hens in the older one. He was a part of the first, older flock which now has only one rooster. We were separating 2 of the cockerels into a pen because they go after all of...

He is gone. He went on his own.

Please please tell me I'm just going crazy and they are all going to be fine

I'm about to just give up on all of them and never own chickens again.

I just went to put the chickens away for the night. One is bleeding likely from the roosters. I'll try to find the vetericy. Spray to put on her. One hen was limping earlier and it she had a scab so I'm hoping she doesn't have bumblefoot. Another hen was ik n the nesting box. It's past dark and...

@Wyorp Rock @azygous I think ai have made the final decision to put him to rest. He can't even hold up his head and when he was it was ticking back and forth slightly. He won't open his eyes, or eat even an egg. He can't stand and his breathing is labored. He's barely hanging on and if God...

I just went and checked on him and thankfully he is still breathing. Although his breathing seems even slower than yesterday. He had moved since this morning and was on his food bowl, which doesn't look touched. I checked his vent and he has still got the yellow pudge coming out slowly. I...

This one is in tablet form. Is it possible to not inject it and feed it orally? Maybe broken up as a powder in something he will eat? Or in water and syringe into the crop? I'm not sure how much he weighs.

Do you understand what exactly his "crop issue" is? It I'm wondering if anti fungal isn't working because it is a bacterial infection and not a fungal. Will antibiotics kill the yeast? I was looking at more of the antibiotics available at TSC. Which one would be best? Do we even know exactly...

We have that one antibiotic at TSC. Would a bath help to clean his vent and allow it to come out easier and see if he can empty it all out? Can this antibiotic be given orally? It looks like injection but it would be easier if we could just try to direct it straight into his crop through his...

The anti fungal doesn't seem to be working. Maybe antibiotics will? Or increase his doesage?

A few minutes ago I tried to get him some yogurt and check on the bulge and his vent. When I went out to see him. I almost thought he had passed on. He didn't pick up his head even if ai tapped on the crate. His face was in the food bowl, but not eating. Just laying there. So ai took him out and...
