    Lethargic hen, watery thin stools

    Thank you so much for this. I can’t believe this but she passed away overnight. I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. This is the second chicken I have lost in 6 months this same way. I wonder if I stressed her out from the Epsom salt baths and didn’t catch that she was sick quickly enough...

    Lethargic hen, watery thin stools

    Thank you so much! I have corid here - do you recommend I try that tomorrow? Would you continue to do epsom salt baths?

    Lethargic hen, watery thin stools

    Thank you so much for this response! No nasal discharge and I cannot feel a stuck egg either at her vent or abdomen. She is asleep now but I will check her crop in the morning. She has not ever been wormed but is on the roostys mix in her food.

    Lethargic hen, watery thin stools

    Hi! Can someone help with my favorite hen? She is usually so bright and spry. She stopped laying about a week ago and I thought maybe she was taking a late break. I isolated her and have been giving epsom salt baths, calcium and nutri-dench. She is standing weird but not totally penguin like...

    Silkie experts - can you tell me what color he is?

    I’m thinking about hatching some of his girls’ eggs. I’ll have a mauve, gold/tan partridge, blue and black. Do we know what he is so I can anticipate what colors I’ll get? Thank you so much!

    My 6 month old Orpington diarrhea, white around vent and now limping.

The twisted neck has gotten worse she is...

    My 6 month old Orpington diarrhea, white around vent and now limping.

    Thank you so much. This is sort of what I was afraid of. We feed Mile Four Layer feed because my other hens are laying. She also has free time in the yard usually 6-8 hours a day which she spends foraging. This is so sad. I stopped the b complex once she was back in the coop with the other...

    My 6 month old Orpington diarrhea, white around vent and now limping.

    Hi everyone! After a few weeks of her doing great and enjoying free foraging in our yard she started limping again yesterday and is now twisting her neck. I have no idea what I am missing but she is back in the cage in the garage because she can’t really move. Does anyone know what it could be...

    My 6 month old Orpington diarrhea, white around vent and now limping.

    Thank you so much for asking! She is amazing. She is back with the others, her poop is normal and she isn’t limping. Actually when I put her back out there, I realized that one of my silkies was picking on her so I think she was injured and that was the reason for the limping. So I did a...
