Thank you everyone for all your helpful advice! I will take it into careful consideration when deciding to purchase young hens. I've been doing a lot of research on different breeds, raising chicks vs. hens, buying online or local etc. And after doing this I think I'm gonna continue searching...

Hi, I need help diagnosing this issue of watery droppings. One of my barred rock chickens has had watery or sometimes explosive diarrhea! I will post pics so you can see what it looks like. Sorry in advance it's kinda gross! 🤢 She has had this issue for several months now! I tried deworming her...

Hi, I need some advice or suggestions on what to ask and/or look for when purchasing new chickens. I basically know what I want as far as breed, age, eggs, temperment, etc. go. I also have a basic idea what to look for if a chicken is not well or is sick. I'm posting this because I'm in an...

Thank you! It's been tough! Thank you for the info on neocropsy! I might look into it and consider it for next time! It's too late for my hen that died! My husband and I thought it would be too expensive to get one done. Thanks again for the info and your helpful advice! 😊❤🐔

Thank you so much for your condolences and your concern. It's been tough! When she took a turn for the worse I knew she had a 50/50 chance of surviving or not! But yes we definitely get attached to our animals they become part of the family! I will never forget her! She will be missed! 😥💔🐔

But I guess that might have been possible. Yeah I tried to get her to eat on her own but she would refuse food and...

Hi SomeChookLover, I think she's a White Leghorn. She hasn't laid one egg since I've had her so I think she might be past her laying age? I'm not sure how old she is but I suspect she's an older hen. She's definitely not a Polish or a silky. BTW, I didn't know that about silkies and polish hens...

Hi eggcessive, I'm not sure if she was injured by one of the other chickens? I guess it's possible? Yes her head is stuck down. Yeah I was thinking the same thing she could have neurological problems! Thanks for letting me know about force feeding. It's not really something I want to be doing...

Hello I am new to this forum but I have been reading posts and articles in the past couple months since getting my new flock of chickens. I really need help trying to diagnose what is going on with my sick chicken! To make a long story short. A few months ago I got six new hens I am new to being...
