for context, i just posted yesterday (link attached with backstory and images) https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/broody-chicken-with-crop-problems-please-help.1626112/#post-27775536 about my 4-year-old hen pearls who is having crop issues. this is now day 4 of her crop issues and i am at...

thank you, i will definitely try the apple cider vinegar today and see if that helps at all. (if you have done this for your flock before), how fast did you see any results? and did you take any further measures? thank you again!

here is some inserted photos of her poop: - the first two images are from yesterday (5/27) during her fast, she was continuously pooping wet and runny poops. - the last image is her poop from this morning which i coin as her "broody poop" that she does in the morning after brooding all night. as...

backstory on pearls: she is a 4-year-old splash cochin, and she has currently been broody for around 2 weeks (this is her second time being broody this year and i am assuming the "cause" for these crop issues). so 2 days ago i noticed that my chicken pearls was having some issue with her crop...

Ok thank you! I will definitely stop giving her that many mealworms. Besides from that, I also have been considering reaching out to my local vets and seeing if anyone offers care for chickens because I would love to get her a wellness checkup and I’m assuming they would be able to give me a...

Ok thank you! I wasn’t in any rush necessarily to change her feed, It’s just for example if there happened to be one that was better and just a little pricier I would be more than willing to make the change. In your opinion should I stop giving her mealworms everyday? As I said in my other...

Hello! In specific, which treats are you referring to? because except for the mealworms (which she does get everyday, But I can absolutely change that, I was simply going off of the information that was on the bag) the other “treats” are only on occasion as I said in the post. She is by no means...

I 100% agree! (Also I just replied to your original post but I just saw you wrote this one as well) I think overall there’s mostly a misunderstanding on how many treats/snacks she actually gets. Like I said before, 95% of what she has is just the pellets. Funny enough wet food is actually her...

Thank u for ur suggestion! although I didn’t mention this in the post, I do already have oyster shells that I have attempted to offer to her but she refuses to eat them (i’ve tried for over two years) That’s why I opted for the pellets that have included oyster shells so that she is still...

So I have a 3 year old indoor splash cochin and she is my absolute baby:love. I always try my best to make sure she is staying as healthy as possible but theres no limits to improvement. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for better food than the one I’m using for her now...

okay so i have a 2 year old splash cochin and yesterday i was holding her and i noticed something weird in her mouth? it could be normal but its something ive never seen before so i just wanted to come on here and see if anyone knew what it could be, because it looks kinda sharp and out of...

thank u so much for the reply!:D i was thinking the same, but is there a chance things can get worse after using it? ive never had to deal with worms before so maybe im just overreacting but im really worried that somehow i could mess it up:(. but if i do go ahead with the treatment, how long...

i noticed today that our 1 year old splash cochin has some little white worms in her poop, they are very small and its the first time ive ever seen it happen:(. she is an indoor chicken (cause of unavoidable circumstances) and so im around her pretty much 24/7. she has been broody the past few...

thank you!! we have decided and we are definitely going to be looking into getting her a friend in the coming weeks after shes a little more healed:)

thats basically what happened to us, we had them in a bigger less enclosed area during the day and at night we locked them up. but the fox ended up coming in the late evening while the sun was still out, i had literally walked outside to put them in for the night at the exact moment the fox was...

so we got 6 chicks in the spring, but very sadly 5 of them passed away recently due to a fox attack, but one survived. we have spent the last week or so tending to her wounds. as of now shes doing a lot better than she was at first, shes even starting to walk on her own (she has an injury on her...

unfortunately i don’t think we have the financial means to contact a vet for her. plus there truly isnt anything like that in the area we live in so there would be regularly costs + traveling costs & we just cant afford that. so if you have any suggestions for home remedies? of course if theres...

honestly i dont think there is one nearby for this type of thing

so our chickens were attacked and only one chicken has survived. although she has a few injuries she seems to be okay. she keeps one of her eyes closed, looks as if it might be swollen. she will open it half way if you pick her up, but other than that she is keeping it closed. it also seems she...

i forgot to thank you. Thanks for telling me that is definitely what it is I am gonna do research on it. xx
