    Emergency, new symptom: won't stand up

    Thank you for your thoughts 🙏 I'm somewhat shocked by how sad I am. I don't think losing another hen will be less sad, but I'll know what to expect. Thank you again for all your support :)

    Emergency, new symptom: won't stand up

    Emergency, new symptom: won't stand up

    Diarrhea, Sour Crop, and Breathing issues

    I'm noticing similar symptoms with my 3.5 y/o Wyandotte (mostly sure about the breed). Did your hen pull through? I have a vet appt in 2 days but unsure mine will make it. She has a squishy, full crop, refuses to eat or drink, labors through breathing, and is lethargic/weak. I'm syringe...
