    Need advice on sick chicken

    This morning Rhode Island Red, almost 2 yrs old, didn't come out of the coop this morning. I looked in and she was fluffed up on her roost. I gave her an hour and went back out to check and she then jumped down and went into the nesting box. I went back and she was standing still, fluffed up. I...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Brabanter

    Don't mean to hijack your thread, I couldn't find out how to post this. I need help, I found these chickens or rooster in the neighborhood (hopefully owners will come forth). Any idea on age or breed? Could they have something that my hens could get if they are separated? I've got them separated...

    Should I deworm my hens if I don't see worms?

    Thanks everyone for replies. Yes, they were feed medicated chick starter. I don't think it was for a full 6 weeks. Oyster shell are now out of their feed. The reason I put it in their feed is because one of my hens was lay a soft shell egg once or twice toward the evening. And yes, it was same...

    Should I deworm my hens if I don't see worms?

    Thank you for the reply. I feed them Dumor layer crumble (which I'm switching to pellets because of the mess they make). I'm mixing in the oyster shells because the never seem to eat it when offered alone. They do free range all day and I lock them up at night. I noticed the change in poop when...

    Should I deworm my hens if I don't see worms?

    I have (4) 7 month old RIRs. They are all eating and drinking good, but they seem skinny. I can feel their breast bone when I pick them up. Several weeks ago I noticed their poop changed to a reddish brown, almost like it had blood mixed in it. I bought Wazene-17 from TSC. The guy told me it...

    Worried about wet poop.

    Kathy, thank you for replying. I think I finally found an avian vet, not close, but if it's what I have to do, I will. They are all eating and drinking normally. Two days ago, I had one that closed her right eye and then started acting lethargic, but would perk up w/food and water. I brought her...

    Worried about wet poop.

    I didn't mean to barge in on this tread, I'm newish and had problems with one of my RIR two days ago and never got a response. I may be doing this all wrong. I've not wormed them, but never seen any worms or problems before.
