    Hen trying to lay!

    Yes she did! She was even kind of weak and yesterday she was perfectly fine. I ground up a little bit of tums, added water, and enough bread to just absorb the liquid. Then I sat her in warm water for a bit. About an hour later she laid. Weird. She never has has problems laying.

    Hen trying to lay!

    I'm sorry to bother you again but if she can't lay it can you tell me the best thing to do. I am still learning about chickens and haven't come across this before. Thanks again!

    Hen trying to lay!

    My hen is trying to lay but it is taking her a long time and she is in a VERY hot section of the coop. I put some water with ice cubes in it beside her and a fan to blow on her. She usually lays quickly. While I was out of town one died and I think she got too hot and couldn't lay! Can I move...

    Limping chicken

    I have already posted about my gen walking on her "elbow?" on her right leg. I started the vitamins as suggested but went ahead and took her to the vet also. He checked her leg really well and couldn't find anything wrong with it at all. She weighs 3 1/2 lbs and he told me to give her 1/2 cc of...

    Thank you. We were thinking about taking her to the vet. These vet bills for chickens are outrageous!!!

    Limping chicken

    Thank you! The antibiotics were because they were opening their mouths like they were having a hard time breathing. Then they were diagnosed with coccidia. So they were on corid for 7 days. If I can't find the poultry cell vitamins, how much baby vitamins can she have? We really think it's her...

    Limping chicken

    Her toes seem to be fine. She is eating and drinking fine. Everything seems normal except her walking. She seems to limp more the longer she is out free ranging like she starts getting tired. I'm having to put her back on her 3rd run of antibiotics today. I'm supposed to give them for another 10...

    Limping chicken

    Thank you for answering! I hope you can see the picture ok. She is walking but doesn't put much weight on that leg. It's like her leg gives and it touches the ground when she walks from her "elbow" area to her foot. We checked her foot, squeezed around her elbows and leg and she doesn't act like...

    Limping chicken

    Hi! Yesterday I noticed my 5 month old brahma limping a little bit. This morning she was limping pretty bad. It's nearly like her leg kind of sticks out more by her "hip" area. She's only with 4 other chickens and no rooster. Any ideas on what it could be and what to do? Thank you so much!

    Antibiotics

    Thank you so much! So do you think it would be ok to take the antibiotics away for part of the day to make sure they all get plenty of Corid? Is a spoonful of yogurt enough every day for 5 chickens? They are about 5 1/2 months old. I have probiotics to add to water but I think that's too much...
