    Very lethargic chicken. Need help please

    Well better news today. She was out with the other girls and was happy to see her meal worms. She still doesn't look a hundred percent, but at least she was moving around and pecking at stuff. I am going to try to give her a few more drops of olive oil this evening and feel her croup again...

    Very lethargic chicken. Need help please

    I have a white leghorn hen who is 5 months old. She has been fine up until the day before yesterday. I noticed something that looked like cooked scrambled egg yolk apparently coming out of her butt. I have seen some soft (very soft) shelled eggs in the morning, but since they were young, I...

    Hello From SC.

    I am outside of florence. My poor yard is a lake. The rain here has been unreal. My ducks are happy, the chickens are taking to hanging out on the deck as it is the only dry spot in the whole yard, except the hen house.

    Is there a chance you can still look her over real good and see if there are punctures or indications of a bite?
