    Possible Pendulous Crop?

    Last night she ate the most I've seen since she started having issues. Her crop was a decent size and it was empty by the morning. I think there were some leftovers there but just a little. She ate grinded feed first and then I poured some water over it and she ate even more. I didn't have to...

    Possible Pendulous Crop?

    Thank you for the replies! Unfortunately I only saw this now as I was not notified over email. Here some updates on our chicken: She has been sleeping inside ever since this started so I could monitor her and also provide her with better temperature (Somedays outside is 100+ until 1AM) For...

    Possible Pendulous Crop?

    Hi everyone, We have a RIR that is 3 years old that lost a lot of weight these past weeks. She's now very light and having crop issues. 2 prior issues to note: 3 months of so ago: Resolved itself, but she was having crop problems (swollen, full of water, foul smell) and lethargy. She refused...

    Cold Like Symptoms - Trouble Breathing

    Just wanted to post one last update on this. About a week after posting the last message our chicken was 95% well and back to the coop. The only "symptom" left was that her "voice" was still sounding like she had a cold. About another week after that her voice came back. I can definitely say...

    Cold Like Symptoms - Trouble Breathing

    Thank you for the suggestions! The Torpedo one was very helpful, although for the "wrong" reason! It is indeed a much more efficient method of manually feeding them but our chicken just decided that she loves how the food is prepared for Torpedo Feeding. So she's pretty much eating on her...

    Cold Like Symptoms - Trouble Breathing

    Another update. She still not eating, however, her breathing improved a lot compared to Monday when we had to take her back in. I can only hear wheezing noises when she's a bit agitated. As for her lack of eating, she refuses everything. From bananas, feed (dry and wet), and corn. She'll eat a...

    Cold Like Symptoms - Trouble Breathing

    I'm sorry for the huge delay in getting back to you. That morning we decided to take our chicken to the vet as her situation was getting very concerning. Getting there, they were not sure about what was going on. The vet did clarify though that the plaque was actually just regurgitation...

    Cold Like Symptoms - Trouble Breathing

    Seems like a plaque. No bad smell. I was about to find Tylan at TSC but it's injectable. I don't know how to inject in her nor the dosage. Any suggestions? I'm also suspecting Canker. She's pooping. I'd say normally. It's mostly liquid with some green poop.

    Cold Like Symptoms - Trouble Breathing

    No abnormalities on her abdomen. Her crop seems to be full of liquid. I’m not sure if she had water or it’s not completely emptying. I found this on her some white plaques on her throat though (see picture below). Any ideas? How to do I get Tylan since is Rx based? Should I try dewormers? We...

    Cold Like Symptoms - Trouble Breathing

    Hello, Our RIR started showing symptoms of a "cold" 3 days ago. She was making wheezing noises when breathing and occasionally sneezing with a clear discharge. We separated her from the flock and have her living inside under our supervision. She seemed pretty stable but this morning she is...

    Chicken won't eat feed just corn, weird neck motions, lost weight

    I'll reach out to a dog/cat vet nearby to see if they do it. However, I have another question. Her droppings are very minimal, how much do I need to give them? Here's a picture of what I believe was last night's pile. There are some wood shavings around for some scale reference. I believe...

    Chicken won't eat feed just corn, weird neck motions, lost weight

    Is there any easy way to find a vet that performs this service? I only know of 2 vets in the whole Phoenix metro area that accepts birds and both charges hundreds for any type of procedure.

    Chicken won't eat feed just corn, weird neck motions, lost weight

    The DE suppose to help with parasites, bugs, and keeping the food from getting mold. When I feed her separately I don't add either DE or egg shells. The egg shells are also large enough that if the chickens want to not eat they can. Actually often times there are leftovers. That was my guess...

    Chicken won't eat feed just corn, weird neck motions, lost weight

    A couple of updates and the video: These past few days we kept trying to feed her. We bought a different type of feed. Same brand but different kind with Omega 3 and shaped as pearls instead of pallets. All the chickens loved except for this one. She ate quite a bit the first day, then stopped...
