    My chick's wings went droopy and now she lays on her side all day.

    Update: I fed her some of that water using a dropper and she's perked up quite a bit. If I support her upright she will chirp with a regular amount of energy and eat her food. She does not want to put pressure on her left leg if she can help it. There are no broken bones and she can still...

    Okay thank you very much. I'll get it to her!

    My chick's wings went droopy and now she lays on her side all day.

    If I recall correctly her whole group is about 3 months old at this point. The temps have cooled down significantly the past two days so I can't imagine that would still be an issue for her, but I will try getting her to drink that concoction.

    Perhaps? Would you happen to have any recommendations for vitamin supplements? Though, I'm not sure how that would explain her lack of balance.

    My chick's wings went droopy and now she lays on her side all day.

    She's a buff Orpington (one of seven) that Is a few months old at this point. Her weight is the same as all of her sisters and hasn't changed since these symptoms began. She started walking around with her wings drooping and later began to sort of hobble as she walked. I first noticed her...

    Topic of the Week - Aggressive Roosters: What is the best way to handle them?

    One of my older roosters, Asparagus (Or Asper for short), a lavender Orpington, used to try and attack me whenever I went in to collect eggs (They had a little box out in the run that they would lay in every now and again), and since I was down low to the ground whenever I had to, he would try...

    My old hen has grown sick, what can be done to keep her from feeling alone when isolated?

    Update: Whilst I was away taking care of the owner's ranch she passed in the night. Thank you all for your help and I appreciate your time.

    My old hen has grown sick, what can be done to keep her from feeling alone when isolated?

    She's not getting picked on, in fact, she's the top hen haha, but from what I've read many sicknesses caught by chickens can be easily passed and I'd personally rather not lose more of my flock than necessary. And personally, I'd rather put her down but she's not exactly my chicken to do that...

    My old hen has grown sick, what can be done to keep her from feeling alone when isolated?

    As per her poops, I haven't been able to watch her for long enough to know, but since I've moved her I'll be able to tell you later. From what I've seen, she doesn't have mites nor live, and her crop feels fine, though I haven't checked her abdomen, I will get back to you on that.

    My old hen has grown sick, what can be done to keep her from feeling alone when isolated?

    One of the hens I've been taking care of, Snowball, an eight-year-old Amberlink, has fallen sick (I'm not sure what exactly the illness is, but her wings are droopy, she's lethargic, doesn't eat quite as much, and often sits in corners with her head tucked back in and her feathers somewhat...

    Guess what breed of chicken this is! (Your guess is as good as mine haha)

    Ahhh gotcha, well his sole is bright yellow whilst the rest of his legs are a mix of yellow, blue, and dark brown. And this is how he looked right after he hatched if that's of any help!

    I'm not quite certain what shanks are honestly, that's a term I have yet to become familiar with 😅 As per his skin color, I'll go look right now and get back to you. I listed the possible mothers up in another reply.

    Guess what breed of chicken this is! (Your guess is as good as mine haha)

    I'm not entirely sure as the flock he came from is not one that I myself purchased or raised, but I know there are some Rhode Island Reds, an Amberlink, a Speckled Sussex, and some of these guys (I'm not entirely sure if they're Black Sexlinks or some other breed of chicken) Theres also a...

    Hey! It's been a while! I figured I'd update y'all on how my flock is going, so far so good! (Though we lost 3 over the past couple of weeks to a raccoon. . . that's no longer an issue though haha) So I was wanting to ask if y'all had any idea what breed my rooster, Omellete, is! I know for...
