    Large HOT lump next to my hen's crop

    My 10 month old barred rock stopped laying about a week ago. She became lethargic and has a large bump on her tail end which I originally thought was a bound egg- it was not. I was soaking her in a warm tub the other day (when I still thought she was egg bound) and found a large and very warm...

    Limping hen with no visible injury

    I’m almost positive that it’s Marek’s..... sad but inevitable.

    Limping hen with no visible injury

    Hi all, Thank you for all the responses, i didn’t see all of these until now! Phoebe’s foot hasn’t gotten worse since the last time i posted but i did take a video and a few photos. Her right foot is the injured one.

    Limping hen with no visible injury

    Thats ok! I have been preoccupied with anyother one of my girls. Phoebe (with the limp) is doing better pain wise, she doesn’t cry anymore but she now only hops on her working foot, the other one seems almost unusable now. It’s obviously not ideal, and I really want to fix it but I’m not as...

    Has anyone successfully brought back a failure to thrive chick

    Thanks for the response, I was thinking that would be the answer, that she’s a lost cause. But I’m unsure what to do with her now, I am planning on moving all my birds into their coop next weekend, should I just move her too and wait for nature to take over?

    Has anyone successfully brought back a failure to thrive chick

    I have 5 5 week old chicks and my barnevelder is sadly failing to thrive. I have her 2 doses of poultry nutri drench today and have been doing lots of reading but I am wondering how often failure to thrive chicks survive? In all my research I have come across exactly no success stories but I...

    5 week old chick failing to thrive??

    Thanks, I’ll get some nutri drench today. Im getting ready to wean them off the heat lamp, it stays pretty warm where I am, not below 60 at this point.

    5 week old chick failing to thrive??

    Four weeks ago I brought home 4 week old chicks, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Specked Sussex's, and a Barnevelder. And about a week after I got them I noticed that my Barnevelder, Clementine, had fallen behind the rest of the flock. She wasn’t much bigger than the week before but her wings had begun to...
