Thanks for the reply!

Should I feed layer feed instead? I haven't been because I have a roo. I have them on Purina fock raiser.

I have seen all of them eating the oyster shell and their own shell I dry and crunch up for them. I ran out because I take it. I just gave the last one to the first hen that laid a soft shell egg. They get bsl and a little scratch now and then and lots of greens since I can't free range.

It was just a naked egg, white and yolk plus a bit of liquid. I was out there with her when she did it. All the other hens came running when she began to squat and I thought they were pecking at her vent. I picked her up and they were eating the egg. I do have oyster shell in a separate...

I have 2 browns (novegen) both of which have been laying for just a couple weeks. One laid a regular egg today and hours later passed a soft shell egg. The other spent a long time on the nest but no egg and just laid a egg no shell. They are on flock raiser with oyster shell available and I feed...

She just passed unfortunately. I'm so sad.. My first chickens.. But I do thank you for the help. I will be watching the rest of my flock just in case it was contagious.

I wasn't.. Just nutridrench and rooster booster?

Not at the moment. 2 hours away from me and booked. Not sure if I can afford it either. I did get some water with nutridrench and electrolytes into her via syringe. She is much more perky and sitting up but still can't stand. Breathing fast but not frantically or open mouthed.

OK, I was able to syringe her successfully! (thank you for the picture as I wasn't sure how to do it) how much do I syringe into her and how often?

I had electrolytes in the water during the hot days last week. She is wheezing. The Temps are only in the 70s here right now so I don't think it's the heat. They have a shaded covered run (large) and a well ventilated coop. Fresh water at all times are on flock raiser, with oats, bsl, and...

I have a 15 week old pullets not laying yet has been open mouth breathing for several days. I thought it was heat but now she's the only one doing it. She came out of the coop briefly this morning and attempted to eat but went back in and hasn't been able to stand since. She was eating and...

Update! She was considerably better the next morning so I didn't treat with corid. I did do the nutridrench and electrolyte water and she seems to have fully recovered! No idea what was wrong but I'll keep a close eye on her.. Thanks for the help!

Good to know! Thank you!

I have a 12 week old blue sapphire chicken wo has been standing with eyes closed, or sitting for 2 days. Covered run, dry clean coop, fresh water, and transitioning to all flock crumbles. I have put acv and garlic in the water. They have grit available, get black soldier fly larvae, scratch and...

Same! We have coffee with the chickens every day!

This was supposed to be a hen... I don't think so!

I'm the other half of the funky chick house, got my husband to join! Welcome honey!

Thanks! I'll look into it!
