Sand in the coop and dropping boards under the roosts. Just scrape the poop off the boards every morning and use a kitty litter scoop to get anything that may be in the sand.

If you can access them off the perch wait til they go in to roost and pull them off then.

I had 5 chickens and this coop works great! I use sand on the bottom but the main thing is the roosts are right there when I open the door and I have a dropping board underneath. So every morning I open the door, scrape the boards and the coop stays clean. Occasionally dropping will hit the...

Thank you for all of your help. I will do the vaginal cream and if she's not better tomorrow we are off to the vet! I've ordered the copper sulfate, thank you for that.

I'm sorry I'm being such a pain, i'm out of my element. Shes pooping a little more now, we got the water and the laxative in her. She's very scared, I think I've traumatized her. I'm confused what to do next.

just found a green and white poo that was more solid, like little pellets with a little water. Not a very big poo. Nobody carries copper sulfate around here. I'm getting the Gynelotrimin. Plan to dose her again (10 ml) of the epson water when my husband gets home and maybe another dose of stool...

It's already 11:00 here. Should I try to vomit her? Mid day I was going to try more water and more tablets. she isn't eating the egg which is surprising. Only poop this morning is very watery, one with just water and one had some white pellets. Where would I get acidified copper sulfate?

She still had the ball this morning. I gave her another dose (2 pills squirted onto yogurt) not sure she gets the full dose. I also shot some water with epsom salt down her throat. It felt hard at first but after massage back to squishy and pebbly. Just repeat the dose 3x today with massage and...

So the hard ball has turned into a soft squishy ball, I can feel like little pebbles or sand in it, very gritty. Should I dose her again before going to roost? Thank you so much!

Thank you for this article, I am following it for impacted crop. Hoping for good things!

Thank you for this article. My girl has an impacted crop. When I went to buy the Dulcolax it looks like the ingredients have changed. It's listed as Biscacodyl 5mg. I gave her that this morning in yogurt because that's all I had. Went to the store and found another brand that listed the...

Thanks for your reply. She is 2 years old, just stopped laying about 2 weeks ago for her molt. I only have 3 birds and they are in a large coop, could probably have 15 in there. She free ranges during the day. I've never wormed her. Asked about that yesterday at the store and was told if I worm...

Hi my chicken has had extremely watery poops for the last 5 days, I haven't seen any normal poops from her. She seems ok but today I noticed she wasn't eating her feed. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I can't seem to find any info. that suggests what it would be. She is molting and...

I need to find a source for phosphorus. I had a hen die last week. She had been laying soft shelled eggs for about a week. I tried yogurt and even crushed up a Tums. They don't carry it at the feed store. Any suggestions? I've read you should leave it out for them just like oyster shells.

I would try the Tricide Neo powder you can get it online from a Koi fish place. It really works! You only have to soak the foot for 5 min. a day and in about 5 days it will be gone, at least that was our experience. Make sure to mix it with distilled water and you are good to go. No bandaging...

I just wanted to let people know that I tried Tricide Neo for my Brahma's bumblefoot and it worked! So much better than cutting into the foot or trying to bandage it. I just took her off the roost at night, soaked her feet for 5 min. and put her back on the roost. You should do it about 5 days...
