Hi everyone, With a saddened heart, I found Courtney unmoving in the coop this morning with her head under one of the perches. I believe she got in front of Gertrude (the smallest chick-like hen) when the hawk attacked, as she acts almost like a mother to Gertrude. Poor thing died so young. I...

It doesn't appear so... but there's always the possibility. She's doing a bit better today, but still slightly lethargic.

Thank you so much for helping! I checked between her feathers all over her and saw no visible mites or eggs. I believe she's been laying, as we got 5 eggs today (and Gertrude hasn't reached laying age yet). I've held her gently and I can't feel any sort of bloating - although it's still a...

Hi all, Courtney is still acting sickly, as shown in these videos from a couple of days ago. One of my family members suspects that she is dying. She doesn't move much at all, but on the other hand doesn't have any sort of wound - just a couple of missing feathers on her tail. I have not had a...

Thank you for the reply. The hens are already in the coop but I will check their crops tomorrow. I forgot to mention - earlier Courtney was making motions like she was about to vomit. I took a video - the link is...

I gave Courtney some free range time today by putting her outside the enclosure. Before the whole incident she would dig and forage but now she's just sitting sadly against the hardware cloth. Here are some pictures and videos I took of her...

As in my previous post, I don't know what a crop is. They seem to be pooping normally, though. I don't know if those specific two are laying eggs, but we're still getting a normal amount of eggs each day.

Vicky seems to be eating and drinking normally, and Courtney is eating somewhat less (but still eating nonetheless) and seems to be drinking normal amounts. Both of their poop, is white, green or black, as it usually is. How do I check for mites or lice? Also what is crop? Thanks for the help...

Vicky vomited once again when I picked her up today. It was less vomit than yesterday, but this time it had a slight odor and brownish color. Courtney (the hen who was attacked) spent much of the day sitting against a wall of the enclosure, puffed up and eyes closed. The other four are doing...

Thank you for the reply. It seemed almost exactly like water - so that's probably what it was. :)

Does anyone have any ideas on what caused Vicky to vomit, and what I can do to help her? Thank you.

Hi all, For reference, here are the names of my six barred rock hens and a short description: Courtney - Biggest hen of the flock, lots of black feathers, gentle giant. Wendy - Second biggest, spot of missing feathers on her back that were there when we purchased her, usually friendly. Vicky -...
