    Sudden death...any ideas?

    Graphic photo warning. I found my Margaret today. She had passed and was long gone. She was my head chicken, black austalorp about 2 ½ years old. I noticed last night that her comb had flopped over but the color hadn't changed. Also last night Norma was acting bossier than normal (Norma's a...

    We put her down today. We will miss you Lulu! Here is how we will remember her. Thanks for all of your support and advice. Keeping chickens is so rewarding but can also be so hard. It's great to have such a wonderful community to turn to and to share with. :hit

    What to do?

    Today she is noticably different. She barely moved from her spot and didn't join the girls in the yard. She is so tired and keeps closing her eyes and resting as she tries to eat. Her comb definitely has more color though, so it is confusing overall. She needed me to serve her food on a...

    I have read on other posts that I should wait ten days after the fenbendazole to start the Valbazen. Do you know if that is correct?

    Seriously chickens, get your crap together ;-) We still haven't decided on the Valbazen yet. Buuuut, we saw on very watery yellow weird looking poo, so just in case we are now treating for cocci. Figured it couldn't hurt. I am unsure of Lulus progress, but she hasn't gotten any worse! We...

    What to do?

    We finished three days of fenbendazole yesterday. Lulu seems to be better, but I think it is too early to tell for the wormer? She certainly isn't 100% or even close, but she is walking around instead of hiding in the corner and is hanging out with her girls. I have been special feeding her...

    We did the Rooster Booster for a week and did not see any improvement. Yesterday we started a round of fenbendazole. Hopefully it will do the trick and we will start to see her get better. Thank you for checking in!
