It smells like the fermented feed I have been giving her. She are a little this morning before I knew to keep her from eating. I'll take a picture when I get home.
Hi,
I recently started fermenting my hens feed, 4 days ago. I noticed my big Braham had a huge crop last night on the roost & then this morning it did not fully empty. I let them out in the run like normal while I researched what to do, so she did already ate some. Before she ate her crop felt...
Hi!
You all have been so helpful & now I have new thing I need help with.
Broody hatched 2 babies in the last 2 days. They are all settled in nicely. Mom had diarrhea/soft broody poop this morning. I pulled her out to look at her bottom which is messy and I noticed she has a scaly leg mites...
Thank you all!
It survived the night under mom. I moved the little family into a dog crate on the ground floor of the coop while it was still dark out. I'm excited to check ok them I the daylight soon.
Help!
My second chick hatched but I just found it by itself. The hen moved a little and it was cold, but alive. I put it back under her. Can I warm it under a brooder plate to dry it out overnight? I reduced the amount of space she has for the night & moved food/water so she can reach it...
Thank you! That was helpful. The little food I'm feeling in the crop seems lower than it should be. It's below the breastbone. It feels empty other than the granuals I feel. It's hard and dense. More like soft and lumpy. I don't smell anything sour. She is very underweight, but I see her eat...
I posted last week about my girl. I'm 90% sure now I'm dealing with crop issues. 2 mornings in a few I can still feel feed in there. It's not a hard mass, I can just feel the individual feed granuals. I have 2x used a syringe to drip water in her mouth and massage her crop. Is there such a thing...
I think so. I didn't notice it feeling full when I was holding her to see how thin she was. I also had my husband hold her and I smelled I her mouth, I didn't notice any odor.
Since she's not eating or drinking much should I mix the corid in the waterers and hope she drinks or should I syringe...
