    Weird poop??? Maybe kidney failure?? :( *graphic poop pics*

    Awesome! Hopefully she does have worms, since it is so easy to treat. :) @Eggcessive alright, I will do that; is it alright if I keep her in the garage in the cage? Because it gets pretty cold down here at night. Thank you for the dosages, I will buy safeguard when I go to the store today. :)

    Weird poop??? Maybe kidney failure?? :( *graphic poop pics*

    Where should I take the sample in to? There are no vets in my area that treat poultry. :/ Also, how do I collect a sample...? Can I pick it off of the ground, or will it be contaminated then? Do I just need to follow her around and try to catch the droppings? Thank you so much! Sorry for all the...

    Chick is losing feathers and the skin looks weird, please help!!

    UPDATE: After a while and no feathers growing back, I looked for other causes. One I came up with was a fungal infection of the skin that caused bald patches like my hen had. I sprayed some anti-fungal stuff on her everyday for several weeks and now she is good as new! :)
