This is her skin :(

Link is sick again :( she's eating by herself but it seems as if her eyesight is getting worse because she misses when she pecks at things. She weighs almost nothing and her skin is turning black and goopy. I've treated her for mites and lice even though I couldn't find either. I also treated...

update: yesterday and today have been very interesting. Yesterday, Link was not doing well at all. She wouldn't even stand up, it looked like she had decided she was done and was just giving up. I bought some "chick saver" and made her take some of that but it looked like it was too late. I got...

Thank you so much for the advice. I'm going to try everything until she (and the rest of my girls) feel better. I just put Link to bed for the night, I didn't want to wear her out. I'll keep you updated on her progress. I'm very determined to get her well again, especially since we just recently...

It's hard to tell if her crop is still swollen because the rest of her is so skinny :( I use an all natural lice spray to treat them and diatomaceous to prevent. Thank you for the treatment advice I am definitely going to try it asap. I'm only trying to get food in her so she won't starve...

I have check all my birds for both mites and lice and I found neither. I treat them for lice fairly often, and I dust the coop when I change their shavings. I tried to clean the black off with a q-tip but nothing came off. I also put acv in their water and spread diatomaceous earth around their...

She can walk, she just doesn't want too. I have her in my basement right now and I'm trying to find a food that she will eat. She ate some cucumber and some honeydew but she closes her eyes after every few pecks so I have to nudge her a bit to get her eating again. She hasn't eaten very much...

This is the skin at the base of her tail. She is breathing fine and yes, her breath smells awful.

Help! Link, my 3 year old hen is not eating, drinking, moving, pooping.... Nothing. I can feel every bone in her body! It started about a month ago and I suspected sour crop because he threw up every time someone picked her up and it smelled aweful. Her crop was huge and squishy so I did some...

I've noticed recently that I have 1 chicken with the same problem. Black stool, losing feathers and weight loss. Other than that she seems totally normal, she's eating, drinking cuddling... Anyone know how to fix this? All of my other chickens are fat and happy. I've read all of the "poop pages"...

Her comb looks normal and her poop has been normal up until today. I noticed she had some sticking out of her bum and it was white and mucus like. I thought it was a worm at first because of the way it was hanging out of her vent but i don't think it was. She was acting fine until today as well...

No it's just the one cloudy eye. I'm more worried about her weight though, she's getting really small really fast
