    Crop issue, diarrhea ??? Help please

    Big Jumper left this world early this morning. She had wonderful last day. She ate all her favorite treats, talked a bit, was outside with the others in the sun and then laid down to go to sleep. I so appreciate all the support as we cared for our dear chicken ❤️ I started worming them...

    Crop issue, diarrhea ??? Help please

    So I had decided that if she wouldn’t eat this morning, I would move to palliative care and find someone to put her out of her misery. It was heartbreaking deciding this but then the person I use isn’t available until Wednesday and my other person said make her comfortable and let nature take...

    Crop issue, diarrhea ??? Help please

    Good morning, Yesterday Big Jumper wouldn’t eat hardly and drank minimal and stood with eyes shut tail down most of the day.

    So these are the other two. I have been watching all of them intensely since Big Jumper got sick. I’m noticing them chewing feathers a lot, I also see whiteish in the cracks of their combs I think. Which is what I first noticed was different on Big Jumper. I have not seen evidence of mites...

    Crop issue, diarrhea ??? Help please

    Thank you for your continued help and support! It has been soooooo helpful!!! I found out I can get goat wormer at the local feed store. They were so unhelpful when I asked for chicken wormer the other day. It will be open tomorrow. What is the right dose she barely weighs a pound if that? I...

    So a few new things. Big Jumper walked to coop on own yesterday from our porch so she spent all day there, sleeping a lot in the sun.

    Crop issue, diarrhea ??? Help please

    I was able to get Big Jumper to take .25 cc miconozole by wiping it on some bagel and she gobbled it up. She has been reluctant to eat any scrambled egg or soft wet feed today. She had a few live grubs, some apple and some bagel and drank tons of water. She has been outside in the warm sun...

    Crop issue, diarrhea ??? Help please

    Thank you. I’ve never wormed them before. The feed store where I live only sells homeopathic wormer. Can I order safeguard or something on Chewy? The others don’t show any signs of worms. Would they show signs too?

    She is 2y and didn’t molt in the fall. The others molted over the fall/winter.

    I wonder if she may be molting as well as I see baby feathers under fluff and lots of scales from feather shafts.
