Thank you for your help, only 1 has the sniffles the other 2 are fine her eggs have been perfect , is it still ok to eat her eggs? I clean their poop up every day and do a big clean change the bedding and nest boxes once a week the get fresh food and water, I'm cautious to only buy dust free...
Really hope someone can give me some advice my 8 month old chicken has got the sniffles a runny nose and keeps sneezing it's been about 3 weeks now she's still laying and does not seem to be in any stress she's her happy chirpy self still eating and drinking and following me everywhere it's just...
At least they are coming out and not stuck, it's like she is laying premature eggs, she has access to oyster shell and I try to encourage them to mainly eat their feed with a few extra treats but not to much
Ok so the first hen that started this thread has taken a step back and is back to how she was a few days ago, she's sat in the corner tail down looking sorry for herself there is some gooey stuff on her bum feathers and it looks like she is pulsing to get something out, she laid a perfect egg...
That poo chart is very helpful, I'm constantly worried about what their poo looks like, sls33 I hope your babies get better soon they do look pretty poorly, but yes maybe if you start up a new thread some of the experienced people can help, good luck
Update the poorly hen has made a full recovery after spending the night in my makeshift chicken hospital in the dining room, I think she enjoyed her sleepover, the one who did the strange poo laid a shell less in the run right in front of me the others quickly ran to it and ate it ( I hope this...
Yes it has been warm here I do make sure they have access to plenty of water and on the hotter days I put ice cubes in their water lol I'm going to worm them because this morning the other one did a strange poo and I'm worried they might have worms
Thank you I do try my best to give them the best possible life I can they are truely spoilt and very well loved, it broke my heart seeing her look so poorly, what's the best way to treat for worms if they do have them ?
Yes they have oyster shell to access at all times, I'm going to get some electrolytes in her today, I was up and down all night with worry, so many people have said its just a chicken let nature take its course ! Imagine the hate if I said that about their dog or cat lol I'm sorry you lost your...
Last night before bed she laid a soft shell less egg and I did find another in the run when I went out to get her, she's eating and drinking plenty and this morning seems to have perked up I've put her back out with the others and she is running around and seems much better, but one of the...
My 25 week old girl is being very largthargic is just standing there with her tail down and keeps closing her eyes, she is not very interested in food but she has been drinking, I tried her with meal worms and she showed a bit of intrest but not as enthusiastic as she normally is, She laid an...
