    Chickens don't want to eat their feed

    I have to ask....where do you live? It is so beautiful! I'm glad to hear your girls are doing well! I'm having a similar experience today. Mine hate the cold and it's been pretty terrible this year with that and snow. Today, however, it's 50 degrees and for the first time in a long time mine...

    3.5 yr old hen not eating normal food

    My 3.5 year old stopped eating her food two days ago. She will eat treats, but only treats. No other symptoms. There is a possibility she may have a tumor, but vet wasn't sure, which was brought up before she had crop surgery about two months ago. Her closest flockmate is currently indoors, as...

    Do you treat a slow crop from a hard molt?

    One of my hens has been going through a really hard molt and her crop is definitely slowed and not empty in the morning. Do I treat this as an impacted crop or do I just leave it be?

    Molting at -10 degrees F

    I put plastic around the coop windows today but staples it loosely around the edges. I think that's fine for ventilation? Also supposed to get snow so wanting to keep that out

    How to feed chicken after crop surgery?

    Mine had crop surgery 10 days ago. The vet said a very soft to liquid diet for a week, gradually reintroducing less soft food. As in, make a mashed potato-like mash with her normal pellets for a few days and if all is well, the crop is emptying, start cutting back a bit on how much water you...

    When to return to flock post crop surgery?

    She's not being bullied, thankfully. I wasn't sure if she could get frostbite on her crop due to those feathers being gone from surgery

    Post crop surgery problems, ADVICE NEEDED

    Shes doing really well. I let her have about an hour in the yard today. Her crop is emptying, her spirit is all there! I wish she'd eat more though...hoping that comes with time. Fortunately, she was a bit chunky to start with so she's not overly thin now.
