    Another Sick Hen?

    Okay, thanks.:) She seems better today-- a little more energy and activity but still definitely not herself

    Another Sick Hen?

    I posted on here a couple months ago about my old hen Sunny who ended up passing away from heart failure. I had originally thought she had some kind of respiratory issue due to the terrible smoke hitting us in CO. Well, I now have yet another hen acting lethargic. She’s old too—around 7. Her...

    Oxygen deprived hen

    I don’t think I’ll do that until absolutely necessary. Right now she’s showing no sign at all of discomfort and still is curious enough to drink and look around

    Oxygen deprived hen

    Yeah, the more I watch her and keep researching symptoms, it no longer seems like a respiratory issue, like it did yesterday. She’s much much worse today. So I’m just trying to love on her and keep her peaceful. Poor thing 💔 Thanks for your insight

    Pasty Butt? Or something worse?

    Thank you all so much for the info!!! Good news: after a warm bath, I was able to get pretty much all the caked-on poop and dirty feathers off. She was so calm through the whole thing!! Her skin and vent area looked surprisingly pink, clean, and healthy considering how bad the surrounding...

    Pasty Butt? Or something worse?

    Hey friends! I just discovered my 7 year old Buff Orp hen has a clogged vent. :( It had a horrendous odor coming from it which first made me notice it. It looks just like pasty butt. However, the droppings are slightly green/yellow colored. Does this indicate some type of disease? I cut a lot...
