    Sickly since September - Don't know what to do now

    Yes. Unfortunately internal laying seems to be a likely cause. She has perked back up after both treatments of antibiotics but I didn't want to create a super bug by giving them to her again. I heard there was an avian vet that sees chickens not far from here. I planned to call first thing in...

    She was wormed a month ago with wazine. Also dusted for lice/mites. I give them crushed egg shells a couple times a week and put out oyster shell today in a bowl by itself.

    She did eat everything put in front of her today. And she drank a fair amount of water. She was walking around a little but stayed put most of the day. She stood around with eyes closed part of the day. Still preening. Her poo was runny and was mostly water. Looked her all over today. The...

    You're right about the pet part. Flock was the wrong word to use. There are 3 total backyard hens in the "flock". We inherited them from a friend who could no longer care for them back in the spring. The other two are healthy and big. So was this one when we got her. Please feel free to...

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that her poop had been green and runny before the last round of antibiotics. It has firmed up a lot and is brown again but is sticking to her vent.

    I have a 1.5 year old Golden Comet. Back in late September she had a limp, not bumble foot. I thought she had hurt herself jumping off the roost. We brought her inside until the limp was better. While inside she laid 5 shell-less brown hard eggs at once and ate them. She has never laid...
