Thank you. :) I know what you mean though. She sure did & I miss her. :( Thank you again for checking on her.

She ended up passing Friday morning. It was worms b/c they came out in her poop even though I had a fecal sample checked. As soon as I saw it I started her on dewormer but it was too late. She died about 7 hrs after starting it. :( I updated it on my other thread about her in emergencies, etc...

I'm getting the vinegar this morning, I could at least start that while waiting for the fecal results! I'm worried about her not drinking very much, especially since I put vitamins in her water and this way she could get something good in her. Thank you again, so much!!

Ok, that is good to know. I'll call the vet as soon as they open. I used to work at one & I know fecal tests aren't much at all, atl least for a dog so hopefully they wouldn't be anymore for a chicken. I just hope he will do it without wanting to see her. Thank you for telling me. :)

Thank you so much for asking! She had a bad day today. I've started a new thread on her in emergencies, diseases, etc. It's titled" My hen Ruby isn't doing well & I'm lost" I've not seen her eat or drink today besides a few jabs at some scratch. I checked her for egg yolk pertonitis (i'm too...

Thank you! Today she had a hunter green gel like poop. Is this close to what you saw? I cleaned her earlier & noticed she had a lump in her crop but I don't recall seeing her eat since I had been home. I will keep an eye on that crop. I'm so thankful that you told me about the apple cider vinegar!!

@hispoptart: thank you! She is definitely a sweetie. :) @gardenstate38: her crop isn't full at all. After I messed with it she kept opening her mouth up over & over though. Not sure what that could mean?? She is still pooping & eating some. Her poop seems normal, she had a white cap one this...

Well I made her some scrambled eggs & NOTHING! She hasn't ate any of it. I tried putting some in her beak & she just dropped it. She keeps looking down at it & attempted to peck at the plate but that's it. One try.

She does have a pale comb normally but she is paler than usual, not as pale as what is showing up on here. I had to take it with my camera phone. She has more color in her wattles than is showing on here. I don't have vitamins but I do have eggs to scramble! :) I will get vitamins tomorrow. She...

And YES, she is holding her tail down, at times flat to her body.

Hi! I just saw this post, I don't know how I missed it! I'm so sorry. Yesterday she seemed great but then today is standing alone, head sunk into her body & eyes closing so I went ahead and brought her in. She didn't fight & I sat her down in bathroom while getting her bed ready & she didn't...

Note that she is standing in these pics although it's hard to tell.

Well she is back to the same thing again today so I just went ahead and brought her back in. I am going to upload some pics b/c it looked to me like she was standing puffed up, eyes closed & I tried to give her some meal worms & she wouldn't even give them the time of day; not normal!

Update on my girl: she seems to be perfectly fine now. Eating & drinking & hasn't been standing alone anymore or acting sluggish. Must have just been a fluke. I really appreciate all the advice you guys gave!! :)

Also, are there any meds for chickens that I should have on hand at all times? I don't have anything except for Sevindust that we had to use once for mites.

Thank you so much for the advice! I had to run my daughter somewhere and hubby beat me home, he said she was eating and moving more. I arrived as he was still in there & she is much more alert & was in the nest box moving around & checking things out. I did check her belly all the way up and...

@ Fred's Hens: It's ok about the humor. It was silly but then I got worried after reading devora's comments. I did pick her up and feel her stomach & then another hen to compare b/c I've never felt an egg before in a belly anyways. I felt around the vent & did not feel anything bulging at the...

Ok joking aside I am starting to worry. Inside coop, she is the only one doing it. They do not free range and are not outside yet b/c this is a new coop and the run has not been added on yet. Back story: she is the dominate or top hen but then on Sunday we added 4 new older hens to the mix &...

Bahahaha!!

Is it normal for a hen to stand & sleep?? During the day? Thanks!
