    This Chicken Mom is Stressed Out! Sick Chicken, and fearful more are sick too!

    My one year old Buff Orpington has been inside the house with us the past two days/nights. Her comb was the palest I had ever seen a live chicken's look. She was eating okay, and drinking, and then just stopped, and was laying down in the coop run. Two weeks earlier, the same symptoms were...

    WORM ? - Normal, Everyday Worm, or Roundworm?

    We have been experiencing a TON of rain in Texas. There are very few high and dry spots within my coop area. (Don't worry, when not foraging, they spend dry time during the day in unused, open horse stalls.) Yesterday I saw, I swear, this same worm on the ground, with my Naked Neck Turken...

    Sleepy Girl all the time past 2 weeks..

    I used Safeguard. For 5 days, the correct amount per pound via mouth/syringe. The difference in the comb color of some of the older birds was amazing, and then the egg production spike, which could have been coincidence (post molt, and some coming of age). We purchased most of our birds in...

    Sleepy Girl all the time past 2 weeks..

    I feel your pain Babybird. I have a Speckled Sussex with these same symptoms. She is currently in a dog kennel in the house. When I picked her up yesterday, she seemed really warm. We just dewormed about 4 weeks ago, and used Corid in their water the final 5 days of the egg withdrawal. I...

    Very sick hen - Warning, Contains Very Nasty, Grapic Necropsy Pictures - Updated

    Sorry to read about your hen, Kathy. Thanks for posting the photos! You're certainly a much stronger person than me. I wanted to send my last cull off for necropsy, but my husband had to take care of her while I was gone, or I would have changed my mind. I have to get stronger, I get too...

    Help! - Daytime Sleeping, Standing Up

    Now she won't eat. Hunger strike. If I walk around with her outside, she forages very well, but her layer crumble, scrambled eggs, treats….won't eat. She may have eaten a tablespoon of scratch yesterday a few grapes and today she's eaten a few raisins. Very alert, not fluffed up, just won't eat.

    Help! - Daytime Sleeping, Standing Up

    Worm them again in 10 days, as in a 5-day Safeguard worm? We just completed that regime Thursday. And it was such an ordeal for the two of us that work full time, an hour away from our home. We were catching birds (24 of them) in the dark (thank you time change) and trying to see every thing...

    Help! - Daytime Sleeping, Standing Up

    Thank you seminolewind! I think these two have different ailments! The Welsummer didn't make it through Friday night. The Buff is still standing, sleeping, eating, and alive. For some reason I didn't think she'd make it last night, but she is very alert this morning. We are treating all...
