Two stupid pitbulls killed my chicken today. It’s traumatic and she was a pet I’ve had her for 3 years. Is there a correct way to bury her? How deep should I dig a hole to put her in?
My chicken eats and drinks water mostly at night and her crop ends up getting full but stays in one spot most of the day with her tail down. Her crop is empty in the morning, she’s been moulting for a couple of weeks now. Yesterday I put her in warm water and espsom salt for about 20 minutes and...
She’s eating fine. But I will try and give her wet chicken feed. Her poop looks normal, not laying eggs. I’ll feel her crop in the morning to see if it’s empty,
She’s not always like this just sometimes, it looks like hair back is lowered. Her poop is normal, eats and drinks. She isn’t laying eggs but I’m guessing it’s because of the weather? My only concern so far is I feel like her crop won’t get full by night time. It feels like she ate very little...
Yes she is. Have yours just started doing that or it’s been going on for a while? I see my chicken eat throughout the day too and even before she goes to sleep she eats again
My chicken seems fine throughout the day, walks, I see her eating and drinking water, her poop seems normal but yesterday I noticed her crop felt empty. It felt empty but it also did feel like she had barely ate something. Right now I felt her crop and it feels the same again. What could be the...
I’m in Oregon. She was laying eggs up and stopped the day before she got sick. She’s two and turns 3 around April. Her regular food is Purina Layena crumbles but she stopped eating it. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t have worms. In the mornings her crop gets small but I can feel that object in the...
My chickens going two weeks with an impacted crop. I’m feeding her yogurt, water with olive oil and massaging her crop hoping she’ll poop whatever she has stuck in her crop. I called some vets and asked about prices and it’s out of my budget right now, which I feel bad about it. She still walks...
Last Monday my chicken wasn’t acting herself and her crop felt big and squishy so I assumed it was sour crop. It did go down on the 4th day but now I can feel like she ate something that won’t go down, I feel smalls bits of rocks also that she pooped a little out yesterday. But the thing that...
Her crop was full felt like a balloon Monday and been massaging her crop giving her water with apple cider vinegar and yogurt. Today her crop felt smaller and has gotten smaller throughout the day she’s been pooping right after I massage her crop. I caught her eating a pear that was on the floor...
So on Sunday I noticed my chicken didn’t leave the spot where she lays her eggs and when I would get close she made a noise like she wanted me to leave. She was there for about 5-6 hours and I had to get that spot because I suspected she was going broody. Yesterday and today I’ve noticed she...
I noticed its really pointy but don’t know if it’s normal to feel since she was sick about two weeks ago with sour crop. I do see her eating blueberries, water, feed and some bugs. She also has gained some weight back but I would think that I wouldn’t feel the breast bone by now
My chicken started with symptoms of just sitting down and not eating, she lost weight. I noticed her crop wouldn’t empty even though she wasn’t eating. I massaged it for 3 days it got smaller way smaller but it felt like she has some small dough inside her. She has been eating blueberries and...
