    Depressed hen?

    Sounds just like my hen. My 4-year-old BR has been like this for weeks now and still not sure what's wrong. I took a fecal sample to my vet that came back negative for parasites. She's eating and drinking though not as much as usual, walks slowly, tail down, poops fine, some weight loss, lots of...

    Weak Chicken

    Maybe give her some electrolytes in the water. Try mixing some feed into the hard-boiled or scrambled eggs.

    Can you tell what these Chicks are?

    The two black ones with white on the head are probably barred rocks. The "chipmunk" looking one could be an easter egger. Does it have fluffy cheeks?

    Help Me Save My Chicks!

    Are you feeding the chicks mealworms? If so, they need grit in order to digest them. The best thing is probably to just give them the starter feed for now.
