I opened the coop door and they are NOT coming out.....smart chickens.....it 9 degrees here today
I think I'll stand in the coffee today, try to keep warm Flock!
Unfortunately my girl didn't recover and passed last night. She was a good chicken and I and the rest of the flock ( 6 other chickens) will miss her. Thx for all your advice BYCers
Well I sat at the kitchen table and put small pieces of hard boiled egg in her mouth and washed it down using a syringe with 50/50 electrolyte and water drink. After a few times she actually started to peck at the egg in my hand but was clearly very weak and having trouble standing well.

Hi Thx,
She's 3 years old and was laying up until recently. I checked and she is not egg bound and the abdomen is not hard.
I'll get on the sugar/electrolyte water today and all the other stuff and see how she responds
Hi BYC, my chicken has become lethargic and appears to have trouble walking. And now her comb has a black tip. She’s also loosing weight as her breast bone is very prominent. I’ve checked her vent and it’s all good. I did warm Epsom salt bath and made sure her bottom was clean. Any ideas ? See...
Don't mean to start on this but Hershey's is OK, the best one is Fox's U-Bet chocolate syrup. Made famous with the Brooklyn Egg cream...and it's amazing in coffee, (or just off a spoon):celebrate
