    Lethargic chicken, red comb (dark at the tips), low energy, doesn't talk, help!?

    UPDATE: I'm so sorry for the absence and such a late reply. Blondie passed away this memorial day. I'm glad that the last words she ever heard were a lot of "I love you"'s and "You're the very best" among other things that she's heard her entire life. RIP the best golden chicken in the...

    We have 500mg Amoxicillin (a version of Clavamox?) at home. Does anybody know the recommended dosage for a hen?

    It looked like the picture of the poop I posted earlier in the thread. I'm sure it's yolk... And I'm honestly hoping so because I'm afraid that she has the egg yolk peritonitis if it's not yolk -- and I've heard that egg yolk peritonitis has no cure if there's no available vet, and I don't have...

    Hi again! I'm here to update but the news isn't so swell. I gave Blondie another spa treatment (she was sitting down this time in the blue bowl of warm water) for forty or so minutes. Her stomach felt less hard than it was yesterday. After the time was up, I pulled her out, dried her, and then...

    I think I've figured out what's going on with my buff -- mine actually has an egg problem after all. Try going to the vet again? And read this: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/coccidiosis-how-to-treat-it , BYC is a really amazing website with so many chicken experts and so many stories, so...

    UPDATE (6:27pm, 5/23/15): I inspected Blondie again shortly after creating this thread, and I felt a lump at her belly. I didn't feel it yesterday but I felt it today.

    Hi, all! After years of scrolling through this website in times of interest and need, I've finally made an account. I have a problem: My sweet Buff Orpington (who's a little more than five years old) has some kind of problem and I have no clue what it is. I've looked at other threads of...
