    Lethargic Chicken Can't Figure Out Why - Help Needed

    I would say about the same. I think she is getting pretty lonely and a little dehydrated. I started giving her water through a dropper to make sure she’s at least getting some more water. I don’t really see an improvement or decline at this point.

    Lethargic Chicken Can't Figure Out Why - Help Needed

    Update: since bringing her inside full time, I have been getting some odd poops. At first they were somewhat normal like this but had a few little blood spots. I was already treating for coccidiose so I thought if it wasn’t her shedding stomach lining, then it’ll get better with corid and I’m on...

    Lethargic Chicken Can't Figure Out Why - Help Needed

    It’s mostly just her feather fluff from me waking her up in the picture I think. I’ve been checking her crop and it doesn’t feel abnormal just mostly empty. I’ve offered scrambled eggs and egg yolks the past couple of days and she’s happily eaten them. I don’t have amoxicillin but I do have...

    Lethargic Chicken Can't Figure Out Why - Help Needed

    I’m in Alabama. This past week it’s actually been much cooler than usual so I don’t think it’s heat (that and this is my only one acting this way). About two weeks ago we did have a hen die of acute sepsis (thankfully not this case otherwise she would be gone already) but they tested for...

    Lethargic Chicken Can't Figure Out Why - Help Needed

    Here is a photo of her and how she’s acting the majority of the time. For context, all of the other chickens are out foraging right now and all she does is roost and sleep. I’ve checked for mites as well and haven’t seen any. I believe she may be eating less just because every time I have felt...

    Lethargic Chicken Can't Figure Out Why - Help Needed

    So one of my ISA Browns just started laying about 2-3 weeks ago now. She was hatched out March 30th, 2022 (about 5 months old now) and weighs about 3-5 pounds. Suddenly at the beginning of this week (Monday September 3rd) she became extremely lethargic. To explain how lethargic, my chickens free...

    Easter Egger Hen or Roo?

    That’s what I was thinking but it developed them so late (just in this most recent molt) that it’s throwing me off.

    Easter Egger Hen or Roo?

    I have this Easter Egger who is really throwing me off. I bought it from a local breeder and it’s an F1 cross between a Maran and Ameraucana. Right now it’s about 4-5 months old (hatch date of 3/30). The comb development had me convinced it was female but now I think I’m starting to see saddle...
