    Help. At a loss...very sick hen!

    I don't see lice or mites. It's been a little while since I wormed. What wormer do you suggest? Lumps are not visible in pictures. When picking her up and examining, she is nothing but bones. I am so afraid it might be too late...

    Help. At a loss...very sick hen!

    I'm at a loss everyone. I have a very sick hen and have done a ton of research and can't figure out what is going on. Today is Tuesday. I first noticed her acting strange on Friday. I don't know her breed. She is about 2.5 years old. She was just standing around. When she walked it was very...

    5 week old cockerel or pullet?

    Oh man. Y'all are not giving me much hope! :) I honestly don't know what breeds I have. I was given 5 chicks last year. 3 hens are, what I was told, white leggers. Rooster is a leghorn. 1 of my other hens? These 5 are the chickens that I used to hatch my chicks this year.

    Help. Chick leg twisted tibia. Can I help it?

    Update: This is new to me! I've been massaging and trying to work the leg. Putting slight pressure on the scabby looking part. I don't know if I'm doing this right! I'm so afraid I'm going to break something or make it worse. Any suggestions? It's eating, drinking, hopping along, very active.

    Help. Chick leg twisted tibia. Can I help it?

    Thank you so much for your reply! All my researching didn't turn up slipped tendon. This may very well be the issue instead. This chick is 5 days old. I've been giving vitamin B in water. I will try massaging and see if I can help it.

    Help. Chick leg twisted tibia. Can I help it?

    The joint between tibia and metatarsus seems stiff. Not near as flexible as good leg.

    Hen ate cupcake liner! Is she going to be okay?

    Thankfully it was paper. Okay, thanks so much! I'm still learning so much about my babies! Oh, I'm so relieved!

    Hen ate cupcake liner! Is she going to be okay?

    Help! My son had a cupcake outside while the chickens were running around. One of my hens snatched the small cupcake and liner from his hands and gobbled it down! Is she going to be okay? Will she pass it? Is there something I need to do?
