    ill hen -- sour crop / vent gleet?

    IT WORKED! One dose of Monistat by mouth and she was back to her usual self the next morning. (I know to do the full 7-day treatment, of course.)

    ill hen -- sour crop / vent gleet?

    Hello, One of my ISA browns is looking really rough this morning. She is isolating and puffed up, with a gurgling sound when she breathes and a squishy crop. When I held her a bit sideways, some liquid came from her mouth. She also seems to have some poopy butt, as does her sister (who is...

    Flock integration weirdness

    Sure thing. Here are the three pullets just above their "apartment" over the nest boxes. Even if I gently stuff them through the door to the run, they dash right back in and leap up to the upper areas.

    Weird pullet poop -- need advice, please

    No greens, just grower feed. I don't have a great sense of their baseline water drinking yet, but they seem very eager to drink when I refill their water. It's hot here.

    Weird pullet poop -- need advice, please

    I have two laying ISA Browns, plus three new Ameraucana pullets. They've consistently had yellow or green runny feces, on and off, in their two weeks with us. They are separated but not quarantined from the older chickens, one of whom had a runny poop today too. It's quite hot here, and they all...
