Oh no! I’m sorry that happened! I’m happy she made a full recovery!❤️ We don’t have a vet really by us that will treat a chicken, we did have one we used a few years back but he sadly past away and then another one we did find is quite expensive. Her abdomen doesn’t seem swollen at all though...
Her skin looks a lot better now pink again. She eating just does not want to eat her chicken food really the only the we can get her to eat is like our left overs from dinner hamburger meat rice broccoli. I tried the oatmeal paste texture with her lay mash pellets but she was not eating so we...
@SmiYa0126 what do white caps look like in her poo. I know someone mentioned to stop when she has “white caps”. I thought white in their poo was normal?
😔 I did think she kinda fit those symptoms but her wings still work, so I was hoping it isn’t that. I did take her out in the pin for a few hours today and she ate some grass and drank a bunch of water.
Would it be ok just to give her antibiotics or will that hurt her in if it’s not an...
Thanks for all of this. Super helpful! I will go to the store a get some calcium pills and the iodine. I’ll have my mom check her vent area again tonight and see if it’s still hard. I have no clue what I should be feeling, when I pick her sister the only difference I feel is their weight really...
If the standard weight is 5lbs, I think read read that in some other threads then yes. We weighed my mom and then my mom held her and we took the difference to get her weight cause the scale wasn’t registering just her. So it came out to 3.8lbs, so 1.2lbs less than the 5lbs average if that’s...
Oh and I did try the egg she didn’t seem to like it I also tried scrambling it up too. She does like hamburger meat so I can try that or like a can of tuna?
How many mg of calcium citrate should I give her and how often? She is smaller than her sister for sure but she has always been smaller and her sister is a bit of a bully I noticed about a week before she got sick. Her sister pecked at her when she was eating like she couldn’t eat till she was...
Updated:
I can’t tell if this is a worm or piece of grass in her poo (I’ll attached a photo).
I also gave her another bath to clean her off and she seems to enjoy it rather than freak out like I’ve read chickens do, i’m wonder if this has to do with the pressure being off her legs cause she...
Thanks for the reply! We got her and her sister at the end of last March so she’s probably about 10-11months, i’m not sure how old they are when you get them. My mom would know so I’ll ask her when she gets home to confirm. She was laying both her and her sister started late and then they laid...
Our hen Fenx hasn’t been able to walk she started acting weird about two weeks ago she was off by herself away from her sister Jen, which at the time I didn’t really think much of it because Jen is a bit of a bully so we just thought she was tired of being picked on. Then a couple days later in...
