    Elderly Hen Not Eating and Slow

    Not sure if everyone who helped will see this, but here I go. Dotty passed away tonight. She went peacefully. She was napping increasingly in her nesting box as the days went on until I found her. I treated my other hen who was showing signs that were out of character and she is back to normal...

    The feed looks and smells all good. The original feed they were on was Purina’s Layena Pellets. I will find a sample of the poop tomorrow as I didn’t take any pictures today.

    The feed store delivered a different feed than normal this most recent visit (about a month ago). They gave us Nutrena Country Feeds Layer Crumble when we normally get a pellet feed.

    Elderly Hen Not Eating and Slow

    No she wasn’t sunning herself, no sun and she would walk a little ways and then plop down and then walk a little more and sat for about an hour. She was away from the other hens and isolating herself. I haven’t seen this hen poop yet, but Dot has sort of pale pasty poop. Not diarrhea exactly but...

    Thank you very much! Could a vitamin deficiency really happen out of nowhere and cause such drastic symptoms like that? I went ahead and got Corid in case she had coccidiosis, can both corid and the vitamins be given at the same time?

    Elderly Hen Not Eating and Slow

    I live in the southeast of the US. She molted normally about 3-4 months ago. She doesn’t seem to want food at all and I can’t get her to eat so she doesn’t have much of anything in her crop. I only saw her poop once in front of me and it was a small amount and a yellowish paste consistency. She...

    Elderly Hen Not Eating and Slow

    My almost 7 year old cuckoo maran Dot has recently taken a turn. Last Sunday, I noticed when I let her out to free range she was moving a little slower, kind of just meandering. I didn’t think much of it since she’s an old gal. Then about three days later I noticed she was really struggling and...

    Experience with shipping pigeons?

    Hello I am looking to maybe buy some breeding pairs of pigeons for an outdoor free range flock. Has anyone had any issues with shipping live pigeons? Anyone bought from Strombergs and is it reliable? Not many breeders in my state close to me and I was wondering if shipping is a safe alternative...
