    Sick hen- limping, poopy butt, stretching her neck and opening her mouth. Losing feathers across her breast. New to chickens, help!

    Is this an Orpington?

    Orpington hen 2.5 yo with chronic diarrhea for 11 months and pendulous crop

    We haven't gotten the bra yet, was waiting to hear from the community. But it seems like that might be the best option at this point!

    Orpington hen 2.5 yo with chronic diarrhea for 11 months and pendulous crop

    @LikeTurkeys @Alto9 and @Wyorp Rock Here are the poop pics. :) The green one is when she was really sick. The one on the outdoor chess set is when she was recovering. The last pile thats brown/white is today 11 months after first signs of illness.

    Orpington hen 2.5 yo with chronic diarrhea for 11 months and pendulous crop

    Orpington hen 2.5 yo with chronic diarrhea for 11 months and pendulous crop

    Thanks for responding @LikeTurkeys and your experience with the crop bra. Yes, we gave her probiotics after the antibiotics for about a month and continually give them every few months. Temps are OK, we're in Southern California so our winter and spring were much cooler than yearly norms...

    Orpington hen 2.5 yo with chronic diarrhea for 11 months and pendulous crop

    We have a beautiful english silverlaced orpington, Ada Lovelace, and she nearly died last November (it's August now) but she still had chronic diarrhea and I feel so bad for her. I'm hoping if I post what we've been through the last year and perhaps some of you will have tips to help rid her...
