Thanks for answering. HE is 5 years old. NO new birds. Wormed him over a week ago with Safeguard pellets along with the other hens and the other hens look fine. As a routine when I clean the coup before I put down new shavings, I dust the perches and boxes with Seven for mites. I saw no worms...
What does this sound like to you?
Lying down in coup, lethargic. Clear poops with flecks of yellow. Does not have a smell to it. Just noticed today. Crowing fine yesterday. Flock was treated with safeguard wormer pellets last week and all the rest of the hens appear fine.
Thanks
Biggzy our hen died last night.
I gave her 1/3 of the monostat and she seemed to tolerate it well. I had tubed about 15 ccs of plain water in beforehand and messaged her crop downward. All was looking good and able to drip another 15ccs of water into her around dinnertime. She looked to be...
Thanks Kathy.
I got some aquarium tubing and melted it like you said to. I got about 15 cc's in her via tube before she got away from me and the tube came out. I massaged her crop and yellow stuff along with (what looked like berry seeds) came out her nose and mouth onto the floor. She...

She ate a few bites of plain yogurt with probiotic, and I syringed water in her. She looks better, but has had no poop in over 24 hours. When she bends over a clear...
An exam as best I know how. She looks good all around. Her vent is clean and I don't see any bugs of any kind on her. She feels a bit skinny. Her comb was purplish looking when I brought her in but is looking nice and red again once warmed up. Feet look normal. I can feel her crop, it feels...
We found our chicken outside in the run lying still, lethargic, eyes kinda glazed over. It's been in the low teens here in Western NY.
Brought her inside and noticed she has a classic S shaped movement of her neck. It comes and goes. She's not eating and drinking only when forced to by a...
They free range while I am at home, otherwise in their chicken yard (fenced).
I think mine got bumble foot from roosting on the edge of her nesting box. She is the lowest in the pecking order and gets treated roughly by the other hens and not allowed to eat until the rest are done.
I hope yours...
