I gave her a bath in epsom salts. She was easy to catch while free ranging, which she normally isn’t. Any advice would be great. I’ve never had a sick chicken before

If mold was the cause, would corid still help? Asking because I am going through the same thing

I have a 5 year old barred rock hen with very smelly green diarrhea by her vent. She is eating and drinking normally. Not lethargic, but waddling differently, not running as much. She hasn’t laid an egg in about 3 days now. My other 2 chickens seem normal.

Oohh never thought of that

Here is a photo of my two buffs. It really shows the difference in their tails

I have two 7 week old buff orpingtons. One has a tail pointed up like my other pullets, but this one has a fluffier back and a downward pointed tail. Also getting more pink in the waddles and comb. Could this be a roo or normal for a hen?

Do you have a feeling if she is actually a he?

I am slightly worried about her turning out to be a boy. I thought I checked their wing shape when they were only a few days old, but “she” does act different from the others. I took them outside in a cage yesterday and she was very protective; looking around etc while all the others were foraging

TSC mixed up one of our chicks. She was supposed to be a Wyandotte and we know now that she is definitely not that. I’ve been leaning more towards australorp. But today she has new white dots toward the top of her wings. Also, she grows faster than our buff orpingtons and silver wydanotte...
