    Hen's wing hangs low...she sometimes trips

    Yes she is drinking fluids and eating like normal. I am going to keep an eye on her. May treat the flock for coccidiosis just in case.

    I don't even know what coccidiosis is. What is it and how do I check for it?

    Hen's wing hangs low...she sometimes trips

    Hello everyone, I have a hen, Penny, who I thought was egg bound, but I now believe she is not. Her right wing sometimes hangs low, almost like she has something pressing on a nerve, and other times it is normal. She has been laying down a lot yesterday, almost brood like. But she has not laid...

    Here are two short links to see Penny. Notice how her wing(s) are low to the ground. Her right wing sometimes hangs so low she trips on it. You will see her flap them, so it doesn't seem like it's injured. Maybe I'm overreacting, I don't know! :). I did feel her abdomen and it does not feel...

    Thank you! She has been after her feathers a bit. I'll keep a close eye on her. I'll try to get a good pic of how her wing drops. I felt like maybe she had an egg bound and it was hitting a nerve.

    This is an older picture, not a good one. My husband was just trying to get a pic of most of the girls. Penny is the white and black one, she's the one having the issues. Peaches is the cream and black one whom my husband said she may be doing some brooding too.

    She doesn't seem to have any injuries or mites. I would think the other chicks would have mites as well and none have them. If she has a disease I don't know how I would know. Another thing she has been doing is her rear feathers all raise and it looks like her vent is puckering.

    Help! My chickens wing hangs low...sometimes...egg bound?

    Hi. So my chickens are about the age to start laying. I have one chicken whose wing hangs low, my other chicks started pecking at her butt, she is still eating, drinking and pooping. I am worried she could be egg bound, this would be her first egg. I've tried epsom salt baths, extra calcium...
