Thanks for the reply. When she gets sick she is lethargic lays down closes her eyes and is all fluffed up. She won't eat anything when she is like this and chugs water. She will occasionally throw up when she acts like this. Not sure if it is because she is drinking so much water. No sour crop...

Hello I have a chicken that has been to the vet several times and has been given baytril antibiotics repeatedly. She keeps getting sick. The vet can't figure it out. She will be sick when I give her antibiotics she gets better in about 3 hours. I finish the dosage. This time the vet said to...

My chicken has not had an appetite for about three weeks. I have to trick her into eating various things. Any suggestions? She was 4.8 lbs now she is 3.6. She is getting thin. She will only eat bugs in the yard when she scratches and fruit.

I gave tapeworm medicine last night. She still has them in her poop alive! What should I do?

I have four chickens with tapeworms. I Auvergne treated them twice the panicure paste from the vet. It is not working. Help! Tapeworm [/URL] Praziquantel Info from Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook. -Kathy

Her crop doesn't seem impacted just really slow. Stuff is moving through her just not emptying. I went ahead and gave her the medicine because I think the worm is what is making her sick.

HELP PLEASE the vet was useless I have a chicken that has been sick. I found out that she has a tapeworm. She has had an impacted crop for two weeks. Food is starting to move through her now and that is when I saw the tapeworm. I read on here that deworming them when they are sick can be fatal...

I have a chicken with tapeworms. I have gotten two medicines from the vet. Now my other chicken has tapeworms. It is the middle of winter and cannot turn the ground as it is frozen. I have cleaned the coop everyday. They did have the greenhouse sunbathe in but I have since shut them out in fear...

She is eating. Mealworms, cucumbers, yogurt, cooked eggs, little bit of soft chicken food. Wants to go scratch outside and eats worms and stuff acting totally fine except that her crop won't empty I am at a loss. I am thinking maybe the worm thing? Will they act normally?

What is this?

It is like the 2. She feels thin. The vet didn't way anything on Monday. She weighs 4.7 LBs. My white healthy hen that is about her size is 5LBs

She is a black sexlink and is 4.7 LBs is that skinny? I feel like she is getting thin from this week.

Don't you see worms in their poop? Also, can't it hurt them to de-worm them if they are not feeling well. I only have 4 chickens. They live in my backyard and are very suburban and pampered. Do you think that they chances of worms are possible in that environment?

When full of water like two golf balls. When not full of water a little bigger than one.
