    7month old hen, pendulous crop and water belly, and just laid first egg

    Thank you for all this advice! She stayed in one more night so I could monitor how she did being out with the rest for the day. Her crop was pretty much empty in the morning. I do offer grit although I need to attach to the wall since they spill it everywhere. I also added oyster shells as an...

    7month old hen, pendulous crop and water belly, and just laid first egg

    Yes she can eat on her own and do chicken things. I think she ate a ton of sand and pebbles. The crop was pretty empty this morning but a bit mushy. She stayed in last night and I didn’t let her out of her playpen yesterday so I could monitor what she was eating and pooping. She was still...

    7month old hen, pendulous crop and water belly, and just laid first egg

    Most recent poop and Lucky in her bed for the night. I thought these uploaded but maybe I put in wrong post. I took a picture through this site of one of the stones which was about the size of the blue circle (penny for size perspective) but its back in the garbage and I can’t find it now. It...

    7month old hen, pendulous crop and water belly, and just laid first egg

    Sorry they are all with toilet paper but that’s how I was cleaning it up in her little emergency playpen. Some poops looked more normal than the one photo. Many poops were sand and pebbles. The pebble in my hand was in one of her poops with many others - it seems really big to me. Some were more...

    7month old hen, pendulous crop and water belly, and just laid first egg

    Thank you for the quick response. She has been on the starter feed as none of them were laying yet. They have sand in their run and their coop, and free range every couple days for a few hours, so they did not always have separate grit. I wouldn’t say she is overweight, she is a barred rock and...

    7month old hen, pendulous crop and water belly, and just laid first egg

    Hi all. I joined over the summer bc a chick became ill soon after bringing her home. Same chick is now 7 months old, her crop was hanging down, hard and full yesterday morning. I’ve been massaging and it felt sandy after. I gave her olive oil and a lot of water, and made her a crop bra. She...

    Sick baby chick

    I could only get doxy-ty overnighted. We lost our original flock so these 4 are all we have.. do you think it’s MG? I have heard some little sneezes from the other 3 - should I treat them all with the antibiotic?

    Sick baby chick

    Hi! We got 4 of them from a farm that breeds them at one week old, and drove an and an half home in a small box. All were eating and drinking well. It was 3 weeks to the day that we had them that this one started sneezing then became lethargic and stopped eating/drinking. She was a bit smaller...

    Sick baby chick

    Hoping someone can help. We have a sick baby chick, starting with sneezing, then lethargy, drinks when we give through a dropper, put on corrid, and started antibiotics last night. She’s now walking around chirping quietly. I pulled what looked like wet food out of the side of her mouth, her...

    Sick 4-5 week old chick

    Thank you so much for replying and reading through my looong message! I will give her a dose of the antibiotic tonight, and follow up with B vitamins once Corrid treatment is complete.

    Sick 4-5 week old chick

    Hi, we recently got 4 chicks from a local farm who does not vaccinate for Cocchi but does for Mareks. After 3 weeks of having them, one chick was fine in the morning but noticed she was lethargic and sneezed a few times that afternoon, and was not eating or drinking, and shook her head kinda...
