    Chickens won't go in coop at night!!!

    My chickens are 6 months old and just started laying. I have had them since they were 24 hours old. Once they were old enough to go outside, they always came back to the coop and went inside at night. All this changed about a month ago. Now, for some reason, they will roost on top of the coop...

    No energy and bright green poop!

    Get her to a vet ASAP. She has an impacted and sour crop would be my guess and an infection. Same thing happen to mine and they were at death's door. They put mine on a strong antibiotic and a appetite stimulant. I had to force feed them food and water and massage their crop after giving them...

    No eggs after illness

    My girls were put on Metroclopride to stimulate their appetite, nystatin for the possible yeasty crop, and TMS antibiotic for the infection. I could not find anything on these meds that referenced a possible ending of egg laying. I will just keep giving her time. These are pets, for those of you...

    No energy and bright green poop!

    I ended up taking my girls to a vet. They had some kind of infection. Both of them got down to 2 lbs from 7 lbs. I am happy to report that both of them have recovered after mess from the vet and hand feeding them with a syringe. My question now is: one is laying eggs about every other day, the...

    No energy and bright green poop!

    I have had the same problem with my 2 barred Plymouth rock hens (Lathargic and bright green poop with lots of water around it in the bedding). One of them is also molting and neither has laid an egg in about a month. I started giving them the Tylan 50 3 days ago. Today I started a vitamin...

    Black dots

    I found a small place on the "dominant" hen. It did not appear bloody like a wound. Checked the coop and didn't see anything crawling. How big are mites? The black dots were less than half of a sesame seed. I didn't see any legs on them, but my eyes aren't the best. There was a little bit of...

    Black dots

    I just started with chickens. We have 2 barred Plymouth Rock hens. We have had them for about 10 months, and they are now one year old. No problems so far, both are laying one egg a day or every other day. Yesterday I noticed very tiny black dots on one of their crowns. I found no injuries or...
