Yes, she is indoors now, i gave her a dose of nutri drench this morning. She is still eating and drinking. Today she has tried to stand a few times, which is an improvement from yesterday, still can't though.

I will in the morning, not home now

It's a red sex link, no visible frost bite on feet. Slight slight on the tips of comb,but I don't think thats keeping her from walking. It's been cold here in ct, below 0. My other sex links are holding up ok. She is in my house now, about 65deg.

She will eat. Maybe drinking a little, havnt actually seen her drink. She is pooping, looks normal

Not bobbing, and tail is not down

Yesterday in Ct we got like a foot of snow. I went out to check on the chickens, and found one of them outside sitting in the snow almost covered in snow. I picked her up and placed her in the coop because I had to go to work, when I got back from work she still hadn't moved. So I took her...

I just bought this bag of flock raiser at tsc. Does this mean it was made on march 22nd? Seems odd because it is a new store that just opened a month or 2 ago. Should i return it? Do you think it is ok to feed? Thank you

Thank you, what is the easiest worm treatment? Does the whole flock need to be treated? I have 6 hens and a roo

I havnt gotten close enough to notice a smell, ill grab her tomorrow and take a closer look and smell. The feathers are definatly wet like diarrhea looking. If it is stinky and it's vent gleet what is the easiest treatment?

One of my RSL hens has a dirty but area, like diarrhea dripping down her feathers. Also, the area below the vent appears to be swollen. She eats and drinks and runs around with the others as usual. The only thing i notice is she is always last to get off the roost in the morning, the others run...

I know it's hard to tell, but does he appear to be healthy?

this is the rooster.

They have had him for about 3 weeks. I'll check to make sure no sneezing or anything.
