    Full squishy crop in the morning and watery/bloody stools

    I feel like I’m going to lose one. She’s breathing from her mouth/panting. She’s laying flatter to the ground. I think I may have made it worse when I had first tried to massage it this morning and the water came out of her mouth. We haven’t lost a chicken yet, and I feel so guilty if we lose...

    Full squishy crop in the morning and watery/bloody stools

    The hen that has the fullest is staying separate from the others and is breathing through her mouth. She seems to have a bit of a smell to her breath. Should I start yeast medication, or give it another day first?

    Full squishy crop in the morning and watery/bloody stools

    Thank you! I just gave them a bit of coconut oil. I’ll feed them as you suggested and keep an eye on them. I’ll update in the morning. Thank you so much for your help! I can tell you how much I appreciate it.

    Full squishy crop in the morning and watery/bloody stools

    I just reread and saw where you said to separate with plenty of water. Sorry for re-asking that question.

    Full squishy crop in the morning and watery/bloody stools

    I did check their crops this morning before food and water. I had a suspicion last night that some were having crop issues, so I made sure to check first thing this morning. They don’t have access to food/water overnight. The bag of treats has dried cranberries. I attached a picture of the bag...

    Full squishy crop in the morning and watery/bloody stools

    I have 3 (possibly 4) out of 8 hens that have full squishy crops this morning and have watery/bloody poops. They are standing and walking around, but are hanging around the water bowl and drinking lots of water. I noticed the poop first because there was less of it than usual overnight/last few...

    Hard lump above eye and in waddle

    Is this just cecal droppings with a bit of intestinal shedding, and I’m just worrying to worry? It has been warmer outside, so maybe it’s happening more often because they’re drinking more water?

    Hard lump above eye and in waddle

    I haven’t been able to determine who’s been doing it yet, but the last 3 days I’ve notice more of this type of poop. Does this mean we may have Coccidiosis? We haven’t introduced anyone new, but it has been pretty humid and rainy where we live. I let them out in the yard for about 30 min to an...

    Hard lump above eye and in waddle

    If it is from peck wounds, would the main worry be about the spots abscessing? Is it possible for them to still go away on their own, if it's already been a few weeks? Thank you for your help! I appreciate it!

    They feel hard. Ok, thank you! I’ll keep an eye on her.

    Hard lump above eye and in waddle

    One of my girl has a hard lump above her eye and in her wattle area. She may have another smaller lump developing on the other eye as well, but it’s hard to tell. The lumps have been there for a couple weeks now and she has no noticeable symptoms. It doesn’t seem to bother her when it’s...
