    Frantic hen, I’m at a loss

    For starters, no she doesn’t need to lay. I know how she behaves when she needs to lay, and this is not it. I’ve asked about this before on here but it’s been about a year now, and this behavior comes and goes. It makes me feel terrible because she looks so hungry, willing to eat everything...

    Should I use antibiotics on the whole flock?

    She actually isn’t dead yet, I’m still trying. And the flock was wormed a few days ago.

    Should I use antibiotics on the whole flock?

    I have a hen (1 1/2 year old bantam Cochin) who suddenly last week went to lay an egg, instead spewed nasty green diarrhea, and hasn’t been right since. She has been to the vet twice, worms and bacteria. I worked the flock, she is on amoxicillin. She went back to normal but then down hill again...

    9 month old died quick, confounding necropsy report

    She weighed 5lbs, kinda low for a jersey giant. All my other jerseys weigh more. Plus, the vet said it was “torn” open, but she had no outside injuries. I think she may have fallen from the high roost where she slept and hit one of the lower ones in just the wrong way.

    9 month old died quick, confounding necropsy report

    Hello! Today, out of the blue, one of my 9 month old jerseys became very sick. Panting, then extreme lethargy, and then she died 30 minutes later. Yesterday, she was fine. I took her to my vet for a necropsy and she had a laceration on her liver, leading her to bleed out internally. My question...

    Sudden illness, blood in bright green, slimy poop

    Yes, nobody else got sick. I did not do a necropsy on my little girl because I’m almost certain this was a bad strain of cocci. I did go to the vet for my hen and got antibiotics for her.

    Sudden illness, blood in bright green, slimy poop

    My hen pulled through splendidly, but I did unfortunately lose a chick.

    Newly hatched chick gasping, bubbles and drippy nose

    I do not. But the little chick has perked up a bit after a nap and some tea. Still having trouble walking, but her legs a very short.

    Newly hatched chick gasping, bubbles and drippy nose

    They were not shipped. I get the fertilized eggs from a local lady. I’ve had three clutches hatch this year, every time I started with 7 egg and only three hatched each time (not all of them started to incubate). It wasn’t specifically bred as a serama, it still may be a mix. I just say serama...

    Newly hatched chick gasping, bubbles and drippy nose

    She isn’t doing it as much anymore, and she is still peeping. She was pecking at my sweater sleeve 🥰 I just worry about pneumonia

    Newly hatched chick gasping, bubbles and drippy nose

    Is there any chance to save her, or is she doomed?

    Newly hatched chick gasping, bubbles and drippy nose

    The others quit at day 8. A broody hen hatched it, and it is a serama egg.

    Newly hatched chick gasping, bubbles and drippy nose

    I have a chick that hatched this morning at around 7, the only one that survived. It’s now 1pm and she can’t really walk still and I’ve noticed she looks like she is regurgitating, and then she will gasp. This is odd because she hasn’t eaten or drank anything yet. I held her for a moment earlier...

    Pine pellets/sawdust for chicks?

    I’m not worried about escaping, it’s secure. I’m worried about impaction mostly, though I’ve raised chicks on pine shavings and hay before, never having an issue.
