    Sick Chicken... Don't Know What to Do

    ⠀ Best medicine

    Hi fellow chicken lovers. It's middle of winter and my girls need a boost. Not much sunshine these days let alone free ranging. I have a local tractor supply but it have expired electrolytes and probiotics. Any other ideas?

    HELP !! My whole flock might be sick!

    How often should I be deworming them? I have never done that but since I bought them from Tractor Suppy I thought they would have done that. I will go right now to check for mites or lice, I don't remember seeing any, I usually hold some of them throughout the day.

    This sounds very similar to my girl now and I'm at a loss of what to do. We are starting week 2 and her bum looks ucky. I've cut feathers away to keep it clean but each day is hard dried pasty looking poop on her bum. Swamperk did u ever think she was egg bound or have fluid in her?

    Sick bird

    Checking in to see how Blackie is feeling? I have a two year old leghorn "scabby" with very similar symptoms and I'd like as much info as I can get. Like you, I'm not comfortable in putting her down unjustly and Scabby appears to be holding on. She just sleeps a lot and will eat or drink a...
