Hi Folks I have a rescue Legghorn between 2-5 years old. She was standing around w a droppy comb not eating. I just dewormed. Her abd is distended. I isolated her. She was not eating for several days. Would take eyedropper electrolytes, water and abx. She has now completely perked up...

My Dominique chicken was attacked last night by who knows what. I live in urban LA, but we have raccoons, possums, coyotes and even a bobcat was recently seen in our area. Anyway, my neighbor and my husband ran outside after hearing a commotion, only to find my girl huddled in a corner of...

Hi Chicken Lovers I have had chickens for a couple of years, thus still a newbie. I get rescue chickens generally and have struggled w a high mortality rate. I've had several necropsies, but they generally have not linked the deaths; e.g., one had egg yolk peritonitis and and another...

I have had backyard chickens for 1 1/2 years. I have had 6 chickens coming at different times. 4 were rescues. 2 were purchased as unvaccinated pullets. It has been trial by fire. I looked at chickens as pets, like dogs. Big mistake. Chickens are more like fish, at least mine have been...

I have a rescue Legghorn from a factory egg farm. Guessing she's about 3 1/2 years. In April 2013 she stopped laying, which was good because her eggs were thin shelled, and no amount of calcium changed that. Her abdomen then swelled up hugely. Took her to the vet, couldn't drain anything. X...

My rescue legghorn is acting completely normally. She is about 2 1/2 years old (guessing). She stopped laying any eggs at all last April when it appears that Mereks hit my flock (lost one chicken, necropsy was possible Mereks). She often still sits in the nesting box, I thought out of habit...

Pullet hasn't laid an egg in 6 weeks, otherwise apparently healthy. After research and talking and posting, I attributed the lack of eggs to the death of another chicken (egg bound). Came out in the morning, two days ago and the girl had her head tilted to the side, squatting in the coop on the...

My older rescue chicken (3 yrs?) has been roosting since we built the coop. Her pal, also a rescue Legghorn, died last week. We also have two pullets I got several months ago. They all roosted together in a routine order, with her pal beside her. Now she won't roost and sleeps in a nesting...
