    Cold?

    I had a hen doing that and I gave her VetRX for Poultry. Got it at TSC or Rural King. I put a little in her nostrils and rubbed some on the top of her head. The next day it cleared up.

    Sickly Hen - Help

    My chicken is unable to walk, but she eats and I feed her water through a dropper. Been this way for 3 days. Her bottom is covered in poop, I don't know how to clean it without putting her in shock. Her feet, claws are turned under. Crop is smaller than usual. I don't know what to do for her.

    I'm really sorry to hear about your chicks. I would be devastated. I have my coop inside two 6 X 8 ft. wire dog pens, with the top also. Dug around the pens about 12 inches and put fencing in the ground to discourage diggers. They are in a fortress!!! LOL But the woods is right behind the...
