I sprouted some apple seeds and went outside to put them in pots. One of my hens follows me everywhere, i accedently dropped them and she stole one faster than i could block her to pick them all up. I read they are very poisness for chickens. What do i do? She is my favorite sweetest cuddliest bird.
Thanks this is good info. Could be stress. We gave away our rooster reciently. the hen that laied this egg is his favorite. I think she is having trouble adjusting without him. I will add some vitamins in the water too just encase.

that's interesting she is close in age. I wonder if eating problems arise because that's when they seem to grow very fast? They are extra hungry and are bigger so more room for food? I hope yours pulls through also
Im not brave enough to try perform amature surgery. id probably just cause her more distress, then she hates me becomes an angry chicken ghost and then haunts me after. strapped for cash at the moment even for over the counter yeast meds. Lucky i have some black walnut extract on hand. Its a...
She does but very little bit. I cant take her to a vet because thats no where near our budget. I put her in a plastic bin with a cup of water and a cup of mollasses mixed with water. She drank some of the mollasas water and now just water.The artical someone posted above mentioned it so its...
