    Sour crop? HELP

    My hen seems to have the same condition going on :( Besides probiotics in water, where would I purchase Miconazole or Clotrimazole? I am also gently massaging her crop. Thank you!

    Skinny hen sits on hocks most of the day

    No mites or lice. I am giving her B complex as described by Eggcessive in the earlier post. I will continue with this and TLC. Just have to wait and see.

    Skinny hen sits on hocks most of the day

    Thank for your reply. Yes, she is separated, but the others can still see her. I bring her in at night to keep warm. No new hens. When I take her out on the lawn, she takes a few steps, then sits on her hocks. She pecks the ground while sitting which seems like a normal behavior. I put a...

    Skinny hen sits on hocks most of the day

    Hello all, I hope to gain some knowledge and perspective of what's going on with my hen. She's a 2 1/2 yr old Golden Sexlink, who was fluffy, active, and was laying until September. Since then, she has lost weight despite having an appetite and eating, takes a few steps in the run, and sits on...

    New chicken parents!

    Welcome from California! I have had my 3 hens since May 2017. I live in the city and limited to just three. I love the fresh eggs and tending to them. It has been an enjoyable hobby. You will have fun learning about them.

    Egg Problems? Egg Bound?

    My lil' hen laid an egg today! This is her third egg after a winter hiatus. She spent much of the day hours laying in the dirt where the sun shines. My TLC and patience paid off and it looks like she is feeling better. Thank you all on this board!

    Thank you for your interest. I know the chicken community offers a lot of information and knowledge. Welll…...after two days of Epsom salt baths, digital checks, and quiet separation, no egg. She eats and drinks on her own. She looks alert. I put her back with the other 2 hens for a few...

    Egg Problems? Egg Bound?

    Yes, she is eating and drinking on her own. I separated her from the others so I can check on her around the clock. I hope she passes the egg soon. Thank you!

    Egg Problems? Egg Bound?

    My 2 year old golden sex-link is acting like she is egg-bound; standing up like a penguin and squatting on the nest. She has laid 2 eggs since a hiatus, the most recent was yesterday. I am new to owning chickens and this is my first experience with this. I soaked her bottom in warm Epsom salt...

    Red lump under vent

    Thank you for your reply. I feed her organic layer crumble. She will get an occasional scrap of lettuce and some scratch with worms. She loves crickets as a monthly snack.

    Red lump under vent

    My sweet 1 1/2 year old barren rock hen has this squishy red lump under her vent. She acts normal, poops are OK, and she lays an egg almost daily. What could this be? I am a newbie urban chicken lady. I added a picture. Thank you!
