    stretching bad leg several times before taking a step

    Thank you for the reply. Yes the RHS leg is the one that she keeps lifting, but they both appear similar to me. I have inspected the feet and I have not seen any bugs. I will treat for scaly leg today. I have read to apply vaseline. I also ready to put alcohol first? She last layed a few months...

    stretching bad leg several times before taking a step

    Yes it does, also, I noticed that she does not curl the toes around my hand when I hold her. The other leg, curls the toes a bit, but now with the strength that she used to have. I am not sure what breed the is, they told me she was a Mexican chicken that laid blue eggs.

    stretching bad leg several times before taking a step

    My hen is over 4 years old. She does has been avoiding to put her right leg on the ground. She is not moving much as when she walks she will lift her right leg and will stretch it towards the front as if she was walking on the air in front of her. She is eating and drinking pretty good. She was...

    Not eating, no drinking, staring

    I just wanted to update you in Pluma's progress. After talking to very many people and trying everything that was suggested to me, it looks like Pluma suffered heat stroke. All the food, medicines provably helped but I saw an improvement as soon as I started giving her fresh forest fruits. She...

    Is there an emergency treatment for roundworm?

    I ordered the coxoid treatment but it will not be here until Tuesday! 2 days, it is an eternity! I will call around tomorrow morning and see if I can get it locally anywhere. When I get it, I can continue with the flubenvet and the coxoid at the same time?

    Is there an emergency treatment for roundworm?

    I don't know of any vets in the area that do chickens. But I can ask about the poop test. I was warned when Pluma and her sister bruna where given to me that the were not good layers. They used to lay more than now, but I just thought it was because they are 4 years old... Thanks.

    Is there an emergency treatment for roundworm?

    Thank you for the advise. Pluma is 4 years old, I have dusted her twice for mites since she has become "slow". I had fumigated the coop for mites last week. (with mite spray and powder). Her crop seems empty, I can feel her breathing bone, she has always been small, she is one of the 2 less...

    Thank you very much for your help. I got pluma out of the coop today as she did not finish it on her own. I stoke her and then she ate a bit of flubenvet on her own I have realised that if I stroke her she cones back to reality and she eats a little bit. Then she stops and stares. Then i stroke...

    Not eating, not drinking, staring a lot

    Thank you. That was my first thought as it had been extremely hot for the UK. The rest of them seem all OK, I was aware of the damage of the hear for my girls and I tried everything I could to keep them cool. I have been feeding her flubivet for 2 days now. Right now she walked 4 steps towards...

    She has very small poops, as she is not eating much. I don't think is broodiness, she is not sitting, she prefers to stand
