Thank you everyone for all of your help.. poor Trixie passed Saturday morning before the antibiotics arrived on Monday! She seemed to be getting better too but I think she just wasn’t eating enough despite us doing our best to make her eat and drink..

I just ordered the enroflox and it will arrive next Monday. In the meantime I let her poke around the yard as she seems to enjoy moving (albeit wobbly).. and we are giving her pain pills and helping her eat and drink.. but she is definitely losing weight. Any special mash or concoction I should...

And the harness was only on her for a few minutes.. she doesn’t leave it on her

Oh that’s a harness my daughter had on her to take her on a walk.. not there for medical reasons :) she has been perfectly hearty up until a week ago

Unfortunately I don’t know her age.. it was a family offering her with a bunch of other strong and healthy looking hens and the kids were holding the chickens so they seemed more well-cared for than some of the other sellers. But they said she was hatched by them within the last year. But who...

Here’s her latest poop. And couldn’t get her to stand but will add pic when she does.

I think she’s at least a year old.. and not sure but she does look like a full Americana

hi friends, my daughter’s Americana chicken Trixie, the oldest and heartiest of our flock (and a consistent layer), stopped laying a week ago and exhibited all the signs of being egg bound. We’ve since done a myriad of things to help her. We did all the things recommended (epsom bath), abdomen...

Hello, my daughter is obsessed with chickens and even created a PowerPoint persuasive presentation a few years ago to convince us to get chickens.. she is 12 now and we’ve had silkies, satins, and even a few hatchlings that all seemed to be multiple breeds in one so they kind of looked...
