Yes she is eating and drinking just fine! She eats a mixture of layer pellets and mixed grain, which she (and the three other chickens) have been eating for months. Occasionally they get scrap food from my work at a cafe or from my dads coworkers, but this has also been occurring for months. I...

She’s been doing this gaping think a little while now, like gulping, but it didn’t look serious so I passed it off. It’s been several months and she’s been fine. Her name is Esmeralda and she is a white Sussex chook and she is just over 4 years old. She doesn’t look lethargic though and she’s...

Thanks so much

a few days ago my white sussex chicken Essy started to to a bit of gulping. It has gotten worse since. This morning she could barely get off her perch and looked like she had something stuck in her throat. I've talked to vets in the past and they said gapeworm doesnt exist in Australia...

No - no local stores sell any wormers, only the vets. Thanks

No, none of the stores sell any wormers. And when they do they only sell it in quantities for 60 chooks. We think she's ok at the moment, but we'll let you know if anything changes.

Yeah i know, ive seen my chooks get poopy butts all the time, just not as much as this and im just worried since one of our first chooks had a bad disease with a very poopy butt. We've looked around alot, no sign of wormers, and our local feed stores dont usually have them in. Thanks

A new hen just a couple months old has started to get poop stuck to her bottom. Before this one of our oldest chickens who was very slowly dying had lost feathers and had poop all over her bum and she mixed with our less old chickens and the newest flock because all her friends died and we...

Thanks for that! We took her to the vet and it turns out she had a foreign body, but her symptoms were like gaping and trying to get something out, which is why i thought she might have gapeworm. I thought she might have sour crop as her crop was more mushy than usual, and she wasn't pooping. At...

My beautiful one and a half year old light Sussex chook Esmeralda showed signs this morning that she had gapeworm (gaping a lot, making weird noises) but she seems bright and happy. This afternoon I looked at her and she had a bluish comb which I thought is a sign of lack of air and she seemed...
