    Solid(ish) yellow poop in lethargic hen

    My 3 yr old EE Penny has been excreting very small and mostly solid yellowish poop for a week or two now. The droppings under her roosting spot also have a green tint to them along with the yellow solids. As of today, she’s lethargic with a droopy tail and has built up quite a bit of vent...

    Ingrown feather or worm?

    Thanks! I was able to get it out today by exposing the shaft slowly. The feather had grown in a spiral and since it was was completely under her skin, I had to expose the skin surrounding the whole thing which left a pretty big wound. I disinfected the area but should I be concerned about an...

    Ingrown feather or worm?

    I took a closer look tonight and the whole feather is covered with a pretty thick layer of skin. I tried to bring it to the surface with some tweezers but was unsuccessful. Should I try again with the tweezers or are there any other methods?

    Ingrown feather or worm?

    Thanks, so far I haven’t been able to find the source but I‘ll see if she can cooperate long enough for me to take a closer look. :)

    Ingrown feather or worm?

    One of my girls hasn’t laid in a few days so I decided to give her a warm bath just to be on the safe side. I’m not too concerned as it’s just been a couple of days and shes getting older (4). Anyways, I was drying her off when I found this lovely surprise. It’s below her vent and looks like a...

    Hen With Diarrhea?

    Thank you so much! My girls are all 1 year old. We live in OR and it’s been hot lately. They were all fine during the first heat wave( 118 degrees!) and most of the girls laid everyday! It was in the 80’s and 90’s when she stopped laying the past few days. Thank you so much, I was very concerned!

    Hen With Diarrhea?

    This was also her first time on well water (We were on city water before we moved) and I was bringing the girls filtered jugs of water but while I was gone my chicken sitters used well water and still had it in their waterer when I came back. The others seemed fine with this change but could...

    Hen With Diarrhea?

    My hen Aila is acting odd, skittish, puffed up, and is making an odd chirping noise (almost the same noise my Buff Orpington makes when she’s broody and upset I blocked off the nesting boxes) Aila also had some light yellow/white runny poop. It was almost slimy and the other hens tried to eat...

    Hen pants while sleeping..... in winter?

    After around a week of being completely fine, my hen started panting again. Is this where the crop bib comes in? I gave her some more coconut oil but it wasn’t as effective this time around. Also, I checked her crop before she went to sleep and in the morning, it was almost completely empty...
