    Please help!

    Yes the symptoms are very strange, but giving her something to loosen up her digestive tract won’t hurt her and it will help if it’s an impacted crop problem.

    Please help!

    that’s good! I agree with the others that it may be a crop issue. Try giving a bit of coconut oil or castor oil to help move things along.❤️

    My rooster is depressed, please help

    Like I mentioned before- scrambled eggs and honey to stimulate him. Yogurt is also very good along with wet chicken food and/or cooked oats. You are doing all you can, now it’s just a matter of patience and prayer.❤️

    Help! Sneezing and bubbles in eye

    Hen very sickly this morning

    I’d give her some calcium and some castor or coconut oil to loosen up the crop contents and help with lubrication of reproductive system (you can add some oil around the vent area as well.) I had a similar issue and had to do the same. Ended up with a giant egg and a giant egg sized poo next to...

    Whole flock died !! Giving up chicken raising

    Agreed 100%. I don’t think there is a respiratory illness that kills in less than 24 hours. OP I am so sorry that this happened to you. I would be devastated if all my babies died. I would check the yard for any toxic plants, antifreeze leaks, moldy food etc., as that definitely sounds like the...

    Help
