If I give her a tablet (probably tums because I don’t have the other) will it hurt her if an egg isn’t the issue?

Her poop looks watery and she isn’t pooping much. We are giving her Purina Layena Layer Pellets. The pellets are from a brand new bag and the other chickens are happily eating it. She will peck at some mealworms but doesn’t show much interest in that either. My concern is that she hasn’t laid an...

I just attached some pictures above. It feels bony. She is refusing all food.

Here are some pictures.

Her crop seems to be normal, but she has a sort of bump out at her neck above the crop. I noticed her posturing has changed. It’s like her head is tucking way back.

If I send some images could you help me determine what it is? I'm a newer chicken owner so I do not really know what I am feeling. Could I attach some pictures so you could help me determine what it is? I a newer chicken owner so I do not really understand what I am feeling. We put her back in...

Thank you. The hard thing is I don’t know which of the chickens is having the issue.

Help! I was down at the chicken coop the other day and on the roof there was a nasty poop completely infested with large worms and I’m worried it’s life threatening ( I will attach a pic below but beware it is nasty.) Please does anyone have any fast and (maybe natural) remedies that will help...

UPDATE! My Buff Orpington has started laying again. We got her first egg yesterday. It was very random, and we have no idea what made her decided to start laying after 8 months, but we are great full she has!

Ok thanks! It is raw and mother ACV, and my chickens actually seem to love it, and will choose it over a container without ACV, but I’ll make sure to start putting some pure water in their coop.

Good evening! Im a chicken owner, and though I’ve owned chickens for over a year now, I’m stilling learning some things. My question was is it ok to always have ACV in my chickens water. After we had a few cases of poop stuck to butt fluff, we started putting ACV in all the hens water to...
