    Lethargic and sleepy, puffed up hen

    The eggs were a no go…she didn’t even attempt. Lethargy is much worse. I brought her in the house and massaged her crop again to see if I felt anything and she did open her mouth up a couple of times so I tried holding her head down to see if she could get anything out but nothing happened. I...

    Lethargic and sleepy, puffed up hen

    I checked her crop and I can feel it but nothing feels hard or abnormal. Found a video online from a vet tech to figure out how lol. Yes she normally lays eggs and I haven’t had any unusual eggs at all. Her butt has been a bit poopy and she has some crusty poop under her vent but it isn’t...

She went to the water bowl and took a drink and then immediately laid down and started nodding off...

    HELP my chicken was hanging by her wing on a small fence this morning

    Oh my gosh…we are farmers and in the middle of harvest so I unloaded two loads of corn into the bins and then came back to check on her and had sugar water and the baking soda mix in hand. Go into the coop, she isn’t in the corner. All the food I gave her was gone AND she was outside walking...

    HELP my chicken was hanging by her wing on a small fence this morning

    When I opened the coop this morning one of my girls was hanging by her wing-it was stuck in the portable pet gates I got for them. I got her unstuck and she didn’t put up a fight or anything but when I set her down she wobbles to the left and only takes a step or two. She basically went to the...
