Thanks for the link! I completely forgot about those nasty things .

Thanks everyone for your help! Wednesday or thursday (I can't remember lol), I did the last ditch method and made her vomit up the stuff in her crop, after I felt regret cause she was having breathing problems. I gave her some water with ACV which she enjoyed. I kept her in our garage overnight...

I Feel like she might have sour crop. could she have both that and egg bound?

Her vent feathers are dried and hard, I found the soft shell egg sack hanging from her vent and removed that but when I picked her up again more liquid came up. I think there might be liquid in her crop. what does that mean? She keeps acting like shes gasping too.

I don't see her doing any tail pumping and it looks like she passed a runny egg last night. You think she might be egg bound?

Just wanted to let everyone know BB passed march 31st. she lasted a long time for her condition,she did gain wieght, but she had lost all her toes. Thankfully she was still active and happy. Thank you all for your help.

I have found out the lady at the shop did'nt pay attention and she just grabbed 6 random chicks lol. got everything straight and now I have 6 EE. thanks for everyones help!

So after the death of one of my favorite hens I got 2 amerucanas, grown, from our local flea market, its been a few weeks and one of them is now sick. I noticed a runny egg was laid the other day, I'm guessing by her, and today she is lathargic, thirsty, her tail is down, her crop is squishy and...

I just got 6 Easter eggers chicks from the local feed store. The lady there handed them to my mom because she was just putting them out. When she brought them home I noticed that only one has really puffy cheeks like they should. Is this cause they are a mutt breed and some have more genes then...

Surprisingly it's gone, and I haven't seen anymore. But I noticed that her balance is bad and her toes I think got frost bite. :( Surprisingly it's gone! I couldn' see any red later on. And I haven't seen any since

Okay thank you! I've been feeding her more protein like tuna and egg but I'll start her on the chick feed. I noticed though a little red in the droppings where they all like to hang out. And her crop was softer today than yesterday. No mites or lice

I have no other food except chick starter. But I'm going to try a more nutritional feed soon. And give her some high protein treats. Thank you all so much for your help! I hope this works!:fl

Wow , how does it calculate to that? Just curious.

She' at 4.375 lbs? Or needs to be?
