    Buff Brahma losing weight and crop not emptying

    Yes! She's back outside with our other chicken. She's gained some weight and her crop seems to be emptying better. We ended up de-worming her and after that is when she started gaining weight! Now we're battling caly leg mites but hopefully we can get that under control. I hope your chicken...

    Buff Brahma losing weight and crop not emptying

    We moved from PA to ME in July. We set up the 3 chickens in a building on the property until we got their coop set up. The girls are all just under 3 years old. We moved them to their coop on October 19 and that's when I noticed our Chickira had gotten thin. I assumed it was stress. On 11/10 I...
