    Help please! Liquid poo

    I have attached a picture of one of my chickens poo. She had the hormone implant done on Monday, it is now Thursday and today she has started behaving lethargic, depressed, not eating and her poos are a liquid consistency as shown in the photo. I can hear gurgling noises coming from her...

    My poor girl keeps laying eggs that aren't formed and she doesn't have egg peritonitis. What is it and how do i treat it?

    Please refer to the photos as it is hard to explain what has been happening to her lately. The white thing is a very soft shell and the yellow is obviously the egg yolk. That was this morning while standing there she just pushes this out like a poo. Yesterday morning was messy, yolk was in the...

    Compact soil in Chicken Yard: Material Ideas

    There are certain types of moulds that are extremely toxic to chickens. Myotoxins. But usually that grows on stale, wet chicken food and table scraps, so i definitely wouldn't be throwing table scraps in there as ground cover. Hay can be an issue because chickens love to eat hay, and excessive...

    Need help diagnosing potential illness

    I did but only with a de-wormer that's used in water, so I'm not sure if the amount was adequate. I've purchased the tablets, just waiting for them to arrive. She definitely is a lot thinner than she was a month or 2 ago. She does feel thin and her belly isn't soft or squishy, its quite firm...

    Need help diagnosing potential illness

    She hasn't laid in a few weeks at least. No, her poop isn't normal. It's darker than normal. I took a photo because it definitely isn't normal.
