    broody chicken with crop problems, please help!

    backstory on pearls: she is a 4-year-old splash cochin, and she has currently been broody for around 2 weeks (this is her second time being broody this year and i am assuming the "cause" for these crop issues). so 2 days ago i noticed that my chicken pearls was having some issue with her crop...

    Looking for the best diet for my indoor chicken!

    Ok thank you! I will definitely stop giving her that many mealworms. Besides from that, I also have been considering reaching out to my local vets and seeing if anyone offers care for chickens because I would love to get her a wellness checkup and I’m assuming they would be able to give me a...

    Looking for the best diet for my indoor chicken!

    Ok thank you! I wasn’t in any rush necessarily to change her feed, It’s just for example if there happened to be one that was better and just a little pricier I would be more than willing to make the change. In your opinion should I stop giving her mealworms everyday? As I said in my other...

    Looking for the best diet for my indoor chicken!

    Hello! In specific, which treats are you referring to? because except for the mealworms (which she does get everyday, But I can absolutely change that, I was simply going off of the information that was on the bag) the other “treats” are only on occasion as I said in the post. She is by no means...

    Looking for the best diet for my indoor chicken!

    I 100% agree! (Also I just replied to your original post but I just saw you wrote this one as well) I think overall there’s mostly a misunderstanding on how many treats/snacks she actually gets. Like I said before, 95% of what she has is just the pellets. Funny enough wet food is actually her...

    Looking for the best diet for my indoor chicken!

    Thank u for ur suggestion! although I didn’t mention this in the post, I do already have oyster shells that I have attempted to offer to her but she refuses to eat them (i’ve tried for over two years) That’s why I opted for the pellets that have included oyster shells so that she is still...

    Looking for the best diet for my indoor chicken!

    So I have a 3 year old indoor splash cochin and she is my absolute baby:love. I always try my best to make sure she is staying as healthy as possible but theres no limits to improvement. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for better food than the one I’m using for her now...
