    Prolapse?!?!

    Just happened yesterday evening. Why is it brown and yellow and not pink/red?? These photos are after a soak. She has like gooey yellow/whitish discharge too and when I try to gently push it back inside (with prep h), so I can make a little support sling above and below the vent opening (idea...

    Lethargic hen with yellow poo & heavy breathing

    Well, she’s fine now. I have no idea what did the trick. We threw so much at the wall that apparently something stuck. Once she was finally showing some interest in pumpkin purée, I snuck some probiotic water into that to help with her fluid intake. We kept trying with the nutri-drench and ended...

    Lethargic hen with yellow poo & heavy breathing

    Thank you! I have some tums so crushed and added to her beloved Greek yogurt. She had a little, but I think caught onto my trick. I put a heating pad in the crate and she’s laying down and sleeping, as opposed to constantly standing and sleeping. I’ll give the bathroom trick a try. Thank you...

    Thank you so much. It really is stressful not knowing what the exact problem is. I hope we can fix her.

    Lethargic hen with yellow poo & heavy breathing

    Well, I did it. Lubed finger in the vent. I think I did feel an egg, but it felt like I wasn’t touching the shell, more like touching the egg through her skin. And after watching her some more, there’s a good amount of movement in her vent, looks like pulsing or light pushing. And her tail is...

    Lethargic hen with yellow poo & heavy breathing

    No egg issues at all. They’ve been totally normal so far. I knew the finger up the vent thing was coming, but I’m really hesitant. I‘ll do it if I have to, just not my idea of a great time. Forgot to mention that I offered feed + water and she wasn’t interested. But I’ll try that again. I also...

    Lethargic hen with yellow poo & heavy breathing

    Hi everyone, looking for some help from all of you smart people. I have a 6 month old Black Copper Maran that started acting lethargic yesterday afternoon. We noticed it when we went out to give the girls treats and she had no interest. We also noticed that she had her head pulled back into her...

    Lurker who thought she had registered a year ago...

    When I first moved to MA, I lived in Greenfield for approx. 2 years, then I lived in and around Northampton for 3-4 years while I attended Smith. I absolutely loved it there. I have lived all over the country, but that area is one of the only places I would ever live again. I still have a lot of...

    Lurker who thought she had registered a year ago...

    Thanks! I did a lot of research into prefab coops as well as building one; the many threads on this topic on BYC were helpful for that. Although I feel confident in my carpentry skills, after taking everything into consideration (time, cost of materials, etc.), I decided on the large OverEZ...
