    I’d say it is more light pink than red when I checked on her last. The first girls was for sure pale when I brought her in the house. It was getting color back until she started puking.

    Are my chickens ok?? Please help!

    Not plain no. Just some flavoured yogurt and cottage cheese. I’ve also seen to put apple cider vinegar in the water? If I put plain yogurt it ACV in the water is it okay for all the other hens and roosters to have too?

    Are my chickens ok?? Please help!

    I appreciate your help!!! We are hoping that the extra heat lamps and fresh straw down will help her out over night and she will thaw out. I’m just wondering why she has diarrhea. Hopefully in the morning she’s doing better.

    No. Actually when I was out there tonight trying to get a good look at her bottom I also saw her have a runny poop. That one landed on the straw and did not get stuck.

    Are my chickens ok?? Please help!

    The frozen lump was not blocking the vent. I could clearly see her vent and it looked what I would think would be normal. When we had her warming by the fire she actually pooped again so I know it wasn’t blocking it. It was diarrhea. Also when we had her warming she drank lots of water. Then...

    the tennis ball size was on the hen that died. The one in the coop it’s seems more like just frozen poop along her bottom feathers. No where even near as large as the first one. Sorry I keep talking about two things. Trying to figure out what happened to the dead hen and what is going on with...

    Are my chickens ok?? Please help!

    I’m in Manitoba. It’s been very cold and will be cold for the next week too. It was a large frozen chunk, probably as large as a tennis ball. I just learned that chickens don’t pee.. so I’m guessing it was all poop.. but that seems like a lot. Unless she got super wet and frozen from their water...

    Are my chickens ok?? Please help!

    It’s extremely cold where we are. Temperatures around -30 or colder at night. We did some more to help the coop today. We added two more heat lamps so now there are 4. We blocked off any openings to try to keep the heat in and added a fresh bead of straw down. I don’t know why it’s freezing like...

    Are my chickens ok?? Please help!

    The first one it was a large ice block, but it was all below her vent. I don’t know much, but her vent appeared to look all ok. Just stuck in all her feathers. I almost had it all off her feathers before she started puking and died. The one still out in the coop just have a small amount...

    Are my chickens ok?? Please help!

    I need help. I’m house sitting for my in-laws and today when we went to check the chickens the one hen had a large lump of frozen mess on her butt. She was laying down, couldn’t stand up. We brought her inside to thaw it out by the fire and to warm her up. She drank water and then ended up...
