Sadly my hen died, I think she had a stroke after she got a bit better... I trained her legs every day a few times, and started to walk a little again, so all I can advise you is to train her leg muscles, massage them and practice walking. The vitamin complex is pretty much all you can do...

I'm already giving her that, she gets a very good quality feed, lots of treats and fresh veggies. She's not very low in the order even though she's so small.

Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much. This is really helpful!

My little sebright (1y) suddenly couldn't walk anymore when I found her in the morning 2 days ago.. I first thought she was eggbound, gave her a bath, calcium etc nothing helped so we went to a vet for chickens who did an xray. Nothing out of order, nothing broken so the vet said it's...

Here's her vent, it contracts very strangely

I found my sebright hen standing in the coop all hunched over, looking like she was in pain, she couldn't really walk and I think an egg is stuck, her vent looks very strange though. Could it be a prolapse? Did anyone peck her? Pls help

I have a very big flock of about 50 chickens. I've got some big hens like sulmtaler, lakenfelder and medium sized ones like lohmanns. They live together with a lot of bantams for example sebrights and dwarf cochins. My question is - since my very large run would be quail safe (double close...

Thank you!!

I see, thank you. I might have a hunch which hen it was, she had a very soft egg a few days ago, followed by a sour crop but I could luckily get rid of that. Maybe it's still an infection from the crop and laying tract?

I have no idea what this thing is, it was next to a weird egg in the laying box, my hens are all acting normal but I'm really worried? What is that??? It feels like flesh and it's hard

Yes she's a high production breed... I've started treating the sour crop with nystatin to get rid of the fungal infection and massaged her a bit

Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice what to do with my sick hen. She's an 18 month old rescue hen (Lohmann brown) and such a sweet girl, I really don't want to lose her. It all started 2 days ago when she stood all lethargic and I noticed a soft egg hanging from her butt. I gently pulled it out...

She lays green eggs When I got her no one could tell me what breed she is

Gurgling sounds might be respiratory sickness, are there no vets near you? When my chickens get sick, I don't take them to the vet, I just describe the symptoms to the vet and they give me the right medication, maybe try that?😬 Otherwise I'd give them radish with some onions and lots of garlic...
