    I cannot figure out which issue/s to treat

    I give them regular layer pellets from the feed store. I do give them scratch and mealworms too. And lately more garden scraps. Maybe too many treats. It seems that I've been cleaning out the fridge and offering more leftovers to them lately, thinking it was good for them (protein and...

    I cannot figure out which issue/s to treat

    Oh, yeah, she's pooping all over the place! I just hope she isn't damaged internally. She's such a nice chicken. (Of course they're all our favorites when they're ill or something gets them, huh?) Thanks for the suggestion of the NutriDrench. I will get some. You know, I've been looking at...

    I cannot figure out which issue/s to treat

    I guess anything is possible but when she had the flystrike, I saw sores with maggots BELOW her vent, not coming out of the vent. Perhaps there was something inside that I cannot see. I gave her miconazole yesterday morning, she ate and drank nothing all day to my knowledge, then last night I...

    I cannot figure out which issue/s to treat

    A couple more things: She acts like she wants to eat but when she bends down to get to the mush I've made her, she gurgles and then pulls her head back up before she spews liquid. Also, she has lost a bunch of feathers since this started (maybe before then) , including her tail feathers (not all...

    I cannot figure out which issue/s to treat

    I've read the article (multiple times and more during the past two days.) I still do not have a grasp on which condition it is, if not neither or both! She does not have a tennis ball sized crop. I don't really feel anything in it. When I massage it, she throws up the watery drool and I tip...

    I cannot figure out which issue/s to treat

    She has not laid all this season, unless she is the one who laid one soft-shelled egg and then quit. (I thought that would have been one of my older hens.) Two others are not laying either, one of which has bumblefoot that I just got antibiotics for so I'm not surprised there but then I have...

    I cannot figure out which issue/s to treat

    Also, I'm thinking I'll keep water away, put some monistat down her throat, Safegard again since she spit it up after giving it last night. Hold off on the water for a couple of more hours, then give her water and offer food again? I took the water away a few hours ago when she had soiled it...

    I cannot figure out which issue/s to treat

    Hen is about 2 y.o. A couple of months ago I bathed her dirty bottom and found maggots below her vent. They all washed off and I treated her sores with Chlorhexidine and rinses or baths every day until the sores healed. Ever since, she's been squirting watery poop. I gave her Ivermectin...
