animalgrl,
Thank you again for all your help and support just by being here.. it has helped me alot.
Well Livie is in the coup and run with Daisy where they have always lived. She is still acting OK really?? She IS eating though I wouldn't say EAGERLY eating.. it looks to me more like she's...
animalgrl,
That's what I was also thinking. No it's a new bag of food cause we thought maybe something was wrong with the other bag which was also a new bag??!! We even tried a different feed from a different feed store!! I just don't understand....
BTW this morning her little feathers under...
animalgrl,
Everything being closed today can't get it till tomorrow morning now, however not sure that I'll need it now though?? She has been getting progressively better. Her strength is better.. she's walking all over now and she's definitely eating again.. however not much of their feed...
hnichols,
No I put any treats separate. Since they were babies I have always given them a treat in the afternoon such as lettuce and some veggies like either canned corn, carrots, green beans etc etc and they have always been fine and have eaten their feed fine. I also give them things like...
animalgrl,
Can you please tell me what that treatment is?? I've never had chickens until these and really don't know about these things??
Thank you so much!!
This our setup for our two girls!! They also go out to an enclosed run in the backyard daily for the whole day most days. However another thing.. they've not been interested in going out ever since the molt began about 3 weeks ago?? They don't squat for me to pick them up and take them out and...
This is my Livie just standing there with her eyes closed. Anyone have any ideas WHY she keeps closing her eyes?? Not eating much either, but eating more than yesterday at least. Pedialyte given to her all night last night.
Coach723,
Again thank you so much for your help. I will take a fecal specimen in first thing in the morning then.. it does make sense. I am just stumped??!! I put her back out with my Barred Rock today once it warmed back up cause I honestly felt she was better as she'd drank lots of the...
Junebuggena,
Thank you!! I actually have gotten a wild bird and game feed that is very high in protein and mixed it in 50/50 with their feed so they will get the benefit of the higher protein yet still get the calcium also. That was what they recommended I do at the feed store. Also they...
animalgrl,
Thanks for writing. What you've written makes good sense. I don't think she's egg bound.. her tummy and bum look and feel fine, plus they stop laying during a molt.. so she stopped laying a couple weeks ago when the molt began. I do not have the ability to take her to a vet as they...
For some reason neither of the two have eaten much since the feathers started falling?? Now they WILL eat mealworms, lettuce, canned corn.. etc etc TREATS basically!! But they Just DON'T seem to want their feed???? So I've NOT been giving them much treats cause they have to eat their feed. I...
They've both been having just like clear water with a little yellow in their droppings and I thought it was like that instead of the usual dark solid green cause they weren't eating much since the molt started??
My 22 month old Easter Egger started to go thru what I thought was her first molt several weeks ago. But all she lost was her big, back tail feather and some of the fluffy under feathers, but hardly any really. Since then she has barely been eating, not laying eggs and as of this morning I can...
