Does anyone have any suggestions on reintroducing a single chicken to a flock in the winter? I had a buff orpington that prolapsed on January 22 and we have had her inside for the passed three weeks. She is doing very well now and we are trying to get her back outside with her sisters...

Yes we have been giving her extra calcium. We also have a bag of pellet feed coming today that we'll try and give her.

She was a new layer when she prolapsed, she had maybe laid 2 or 3 eggs before her prolapse.

She's ate the little bit of tuna that I gave her. At first she was a little skeptical but I think she liked it.

Thank you for all of your help, I really appreciate it.

Okay thank you, I will try that in a few minutes.

Yes, I have some canned tuna fish.

We haven't been able to weigh her but looking at her she looks like she lost a little weight. I don't think she would be very cooperative with tube feeding, she's not a big fan of being touched. We have only kept her inside for as long as we have because we didn't get the prolapse fixed until 2...

She doesn't seem tired. She's been in our house for over a week and she's been moving around and scratching in the crate. When we take her out of the crate she walks around, cleans herself and is very curious.

Okay, Thank you very much for your help. Do you think all of her symptoms could be related to not getting a balanced diet?

I will defiantly be looking into switching her feed. I have a bag of Hen Up starter grower crumbles, would this be a good thing to be feeding her?

I have 11 other chickens the last time I brought new chickens home was her and her 5 sisters back in august. We have been feeding her scratch and peck feed mixed with water since we brought her in 2 Fridays ago. We have also been feeding her cooked egg, oatmeal, yogurt, as well as some different...

My buff Orpington is about 6 months old. She suffered from a prolapse in January 22. We have got it all fixed up now, her vents been closed since Sunday. She still has a few concerning symptoms though. Her comb has been changing from red to purple for the past couple days. Her left wing has...

I have a 5 month old Buff Orpington who prolapsed on Friday 1/22. She also had 2 eggs in her. A friend of ours told us we needed to push the prolapse and the egg that we could see back in, as we started to do so she strain and the egg popped out and shortly after another egg followed. We believe...

I have a 5 month old Buff Orpington who prolapsed 3 days ago. We were able to reinsert the prolapsed and it stays until she poops. We withheld food for 24 hour to try and help this. She went about 5 hours without prolapsing but then she pooped and it happened all over again. I’m concerned that...
