    Hen struggling to breathe- making noises, breathing hard

    I'm going to do that today. Yesterday was all about trying to save Elise. How do you trim nails? I have a hen with long nails

    Hen struggling to breathe- making noises, breathing hard

    I bought the dewormer. When I was giving it to her, I noticed her mouth was full of sticky mucus. 3 hours later, she passed. My sweet Elise is gone.

    Hen struggling to breathe- making noises, breathing hard

    Interesting- I hadn't heard that! Thank you- I will get some de-wormer. I haven't ever de-wormed before because the girls have never had a problem.

    Hen struggling to breathe- making noises, breathing hard

    Short- Elise is almost-4yo BR, was laying down more on Thursday but still getting up, walking around, eating and drinking. Kept an eye on her. Fri we were gone most of the day, but when we watched her she was still moving around and eating and drinking, but laying down more. Noticed Fri evening...

    Help! Hen not doing well- I think sour or impacted crop????

    I hope you can fix it. I finally got my hen massaged and empty and then she finally ate and acted well for a week and then I found her dead in the coop, all fluffed up again. She was fine before we left and a few hours later she wasn't.

    Help! Hen not doing well- I think sour or impacted crop????

    Her poop is liquid. She hasn't eaten since at least yesterday morning at 8 am. I can't get her to drink today, but she may be drinking on her own when I'm not looking. I put on a crop bra and she literally threw herself around the plastic tub until she got it off. Her crop is still not right...

    Help! Hen not doing well- I think sour or impacted crop????

    I have a 3 1/2 yo NHR hen. She has what I'm pretty sure is pendulous crop. It hasn't been an issue until now. I've searched both sour crop and impacted crop and have tried to remedy it but it's not helping. Yesterday evening I went out and noticed her in the coop all fluffed up. The other...

    Are my EEs just too worn out? Molting? Something else?

    Are my EEs just too worn out? Molting? Something else?

    Well, that's why i was confused at first at who was doing the soft egg laying. But then I saw it with my own eyes. Idk. I can try to upload the picture from last night's soft egg, laid definitely by my EE, and it's light brown. I'm not tech savvy, though, but I will try.

    Are my EEs just too worn out? Molting? Something else?

    I am having some chicken drama. It started 3 weeks ago when an EE (2 1/2 yo), Emma, went broody for the 1st time ever. We eventually broke her broodiness (she was very stubborn). While we were dealing with that 1 night, we noticed a soft-shelled egg had just been laid in the coop and broke...

    Watermelon killed my chicken?

    Also, I looked through the recent poops. All poops were normal.

    Watermelon killed my chicken?

    Hmm...now I'm not sure what to think. It is too late for necropsy- she is buried. I appreciate the responses. It is very traumatizing to go out to the run and find your young chicken dead of no apparent reason.

    Watermelon killed my chicken?

    On Wed evening I gave my 5 chickens (pullets- 11 mo) 4 watermelon rinds, which I have done before. All of my chickens were acting fine. On Thursday at noon I went out to check on the chickens before I left the house for the day (my DH lets out and feeds the chickens in the morning). My BA was...

    BA laid 2 eggs and then nothing?

    Ok good. I was worried there was some medical thing wrong with her since she just stopped laying and the others continued. This makes more sense. whew! Glad to know there isn't something wrong with her reproductive organs!
