    Lethargic chicken

    I can put her in the coop. I have a section fenced off from when we had the chicks. It' big enough for her to move around and stand up and we put food and water in there. The other chickens can't get to her in there but would be right next to her. Thank you very kindly for your help. I greatly...

    Lethargic chicken

    She seems to be a bit better. She ate a little bit when I took her outside, but she is still a bit wobbly. The other chickens were all attacking her now. Will antibiotics cure this condition or will she get better on her own?

    Lethargic chicken

    We have been giving her calcium+D and electrolytes and she is acting better. More awake stretching and standing a lot, but now she won't drink or eat and she is pretty feisty about it

    Lethargic chicken

    Update: Her eyes look ok, she was standing a little bit more today and trying to walk but she is very unstable. She did drink on her own after I made her drink but she actually did it while standing and not falling over. She still won't eat but we got a pill down her tonight, (calcium+D) I took...

    Lethargic chicken

    I did get her to drink but not eat. She normally lays eggs, but we were seeing some soft ones on occasion but I don't know which hen was laying them. Her crop feels empty but she has been pooping a lot. I will try to get a photo tomorrow. Some similar posts said she might be egg bound. I tried...

    Lethargic chicken

    My chicken has been acting kind of docile lately and yesterday we found her just sitting in the poop board so we took her out and she is having trouble standing up and keeping her balance even if she is sitting down. She keeps looking upward and closing her eyes. A lot of times just the left...

    new babies

    Hi our silky just hatched an egg and probably some more to come. She is in a nest box in the main coop. Will the babies be ok or will the other chickens try to kill them? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Chicken has no balance

    Well we kept Her inside for two days. The first day she seemed a little better and today she somehow made a miraculous recovery and could not wait to get back out with the flock. We are new to this so I have no idea what was going on with her, but very happy to see her doing well. Thank you to...

    Is the rest of the flock in jeopardy of catching any of this?

    Chicken has no balance

    No new birds. We bought them from Running's, not sure but I think they are vaccinated when you get them there.

    Chicken has no balance

    They were being looked after. Nothing was sprayed or anything like that. She is about 7 months old. She is standing , but when she tries to move she tips over. She is not lying down to sleep.

    Chicken has no balance

    We were away for a couple of days and tonight when doing a head count we noticed that one of the sapphire gems was sitting in the poop box. She tried to stand up but keeps tipping over. We put her in a bin and brought her in the house. She did eat some but did not drink. She stands up but keeps...
