    Thinking Outside the Box....your thoughts please

    Please Help 6 month old hen not eating or drinking lethargic

    Yesterday I noticed one of my Buff Orphingtons looking a mess on the front like she threw up, & her comb flopped over. She was lethargic standing around acting weak & closing her eyes. She kept opening her mouth like she was trying to cough up something, but nothing coming up. Looked down her...

    Hi all new to Chickens from New Orleans area
