    Molt VS Illness

    yes. i know you're right about the "cold" here and that your cold is real. i lived in south dakota for decades and have definitely become a lightweight when it comes to temps - in fact, it's why i moved. and i've a call into the only vet in the county that will see a chicken but since she's...

    thanks for the reply. i'm definitely worrying about those things although my hens have always stopped laying while molting and most of my girls have either quit or really cut back on laying during the shortest days of the year - and it's been way cloudier and darker this December than usual, for...

    Hi. So this morning I checked my hen's crop and it's very large and very squishy and when i picked her up, she vomited some fluid AND now she sounds a bit rattly. The vomit smelled sour. I'm trying to get her into see a vet but I'm not feeling like that will work. Is there anything I can do at...
