    Please please help...something is wrong with my much-loved Rooster!

    Hi, yes, he is not with the flock... I wouldn't want them to get infected. I do give him food and water every day. I give him worms too for the protein as well as mashed pellets and water. And I have poultry electrolytes that I put in the water I give him...with an eye dropper I am making sure...

    How to tell if a dead hen was egg bound??

    To tell if she was egg bound... Look at her butt, are her butt feathers all gunked up with yellowy poo? Feel her abdomen/kinda between her legs, does it feel swollen and kind of hardish? if yes, then that's how you would have known.

    Help--sick hen--worms????

    Maybe she is egg bound. When you said yellow and runny poop, that's what makes me think she is egg bound. If you can pick her up, feel her sort of abdomen/butt area like between her legs kinda. Does it feel hard/swollen? Does she sit all poofed up and huddled?

    Hi, no his belly does not feel hard. He has been this way for only the past week or two, but doesn't seem visibly sick besides the listlessness and just standing around. His feathers are all nice and his comb looks still red and healthy. He won't eat/drink anything though which is what worries...

    Hi, I'm new here!! I'm hoping someone can help me! I have a 6 year old Rooster who is much loved and I have had him since he was mere days old. Recently he seems to have been sick. Mostly he just sits around all day and doesn't move much; for the past week he has also been making much less...
