    Chicken Just Sleeping on floor

    these past couple of days my 4 yr old RIR hen Phoebe has been sleeping on the floor under the roosts. First I thought she couldn’t see the roosts at night so I left the lights on at night for her but she did the same thing. I would be more worried but as soon as I come in the coop to collect...

    Swollen eye

    Thank you soooo much. I actually just put it on for the 2nd time today. I figured it’s would help. I will keep you updated!! And she doesn’t have discharge and she isn’t breathing funky so I’m going to say it’s an injury to her eye

    Swollen eye

    This morning I went to let my girls out and noticed one of my hens Jazzy had a swollen eye. I’m not really sure what happened. It just showed up this morning. Any ideas on what it is?

    Chicken losing weight

    Th I treated her 2x a day for 7 days. Her crop doesn’t seem to empty well at night including the nugget. The nugget is probably a little bigger than a corn kernel but it has some string grass like things attached to it. I tried supervised visits and one of the hens attached her. I’ve just been...

    Chicken losing weight

    Recently my chicken Nickel has been in the house for the past couple of weeks. I dewormed her thinking she had worms and that wasn’t the case so I read some more and found out she might have an impacted crop with a yeast infection. I treated the I infections with Nystatin and it went away but...

    I’m going to give her nystatin for a week and see if that clears up the possible yeast infection. I also but probiotics and acv in her water

    I’m leaning towards a sour crop. She’s been just drinking water. She isn’t interested in her mash or eggs or yogurt. and these past 2 days she’s been in the house she’s gotten worse. When I first brought her up to the house she was eating her food and eggs and drinking a normal amount of water

    I palpated her vent area. It doesn’t feel like she has an egg in there. She did however spit up water on me. Her crop is full of nothing but water

    I can check tomorrow morning. I get up early on mondays. I’ll check her vent when I get back home. Do you think it could be worms that are causing the diarrhea?

    No I don’t think she’s been laying. Her crop is full but she is still digesting food. And yes that was the first thing I did.

    This past week I noticed one of my hens was a little skinny and not looking so good. I took her up to the house and weighed her and she weighs 2 pounds. Her sister who is the same age and breed is aleast 5 pounds. Last summer the chickens had worms so we dewormed them with two rounds of valbazan...

    What breed?

    Ok. The other roos looked to be RIR as well. I’ll see if I can find something close to her on google. Thank you for the reply!!!

    What breed?

    In June last year I got 3 chicks from a friend who hatched them out in her class. 2 of them were roosters so they had to go bye bye. I was left with 1 hen. Her name is chipmunk. I’m not sure what breed she is. I think she might be a barnevder but I haven’t gotten any dark brown eggs from her...
