Thanks so much. I will just leave it alone. It would be ironic if it's from another chicken picking on her. She was a BIG bully when I introduced the new chicks this year. They might just be holding their own....

Do you think this is fowl Pox? If so, is there anything I should do? I haven’t found much in the way of treatment online. Thanks!

Great articles- thank you! It’s either slow or sour crop. I’ll follow the directions for that.

Thanks SO much!!! I will get Monistat tomorrow. It sounds just like my chicken. I have done the vomit thing, literally because it was all ready pouring out, so I held her as upside down as I could. So far, so good 😬

My chicken has same symptoms. She spews liquid if I massage in a downward motion. I’m doing water and ACV. She has no white in her mouth. Did yours? Did you automatically give her the Monistat? And how the heck did you get her to ingest it?? Thanks!

Hi- I have 3 two yr old hens and am integrating 2 twelve week old chicks. I have had them in a pen next to the run for a while, then in the run, but separate. They are now in the run with the older 3 hens. They are Americaunas. My Buff Orpington goes after them off and on all day. No serious...

I put a fake egg in our girl's nesting box as they were sqwaking all morning. Lo and behold, and egg! But...they have been so LOUD all day long and seem to be in the coop more and nervous. Should I take out the egg?

Hello! First time chicken mom here, and I’m so glad to have this forum. You all have answered so many questions for me all ready! I have 4 five week old chicks. Two are Barred Rock, two are Buff Orpingtons. I had no idea how much fun they would be and I am totally smitten!
