    Sour Crop! Help!! Please!!

    I took her to an Avian vet this morning because she was not looking good and this limbo was killing me. She prescribed her antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, and anti fungal. I will. Be adding ACV to the water for the other 4 hens. My question for y'all now is, what do you feed your chickens?

    Sour Crop! Help!! Please!!

    Are you sure about the ACV?? I read something that said don't use it. That's the dilemma I'm having.... Lots of websites contradict each other. Your explanation makes sense though. She did really like the plain yogurt I gave her. Just a tiny bit. Then I read something else that said yogurt...

    Sour Crop! Help!! Please!!

    have an 11 month old hen who definitely has sour crop. I seperated her from the others because I wasn't sure exactly what was wrong. I have been feeding her yogurt and she has been drinking water. Today I was going to let her out in a small pen by herself because her poop looked normal and I...

    Egg Binding? I don't know! Help!

    The vets rarely ever see chickens, but they gave her mineral oil to lube her. He said he doesn't think it's sour crop because there was hardly anything in her crop. She has started pooping and it's a bright yellow color mixed with clear and a little white. I tried feeding her scrambled eggs...

    Egg Binding? I don't know! Help!

    I don't really think it's broody because she doesn't go into the nesting box and she still slept on top of the coop with the others. She just went up there before everyone, hangs out by herself, I can just tell she is not acting normal. I have massaged her crop twice and nothing has happened...

    She has not pooped at all overnight and her crop feels squishy and is about the size of a plum.

    Egg Binding? I don't know! Help!

    For the past two days I have noticed that Bridget, my almost year old Ameracauna has not laid an egg. I can tell which are hers because they are larger than the others. Her behavior is also completely different than normal. She is not "hanging out" with the other 4 chickens. She goes off to...

    Clip Wings?

    I got brave and let them in the backyard while I cleaned their cage really good. They did exactly like you said... They stuck together and didn't even try to fly. They were so preoccupied with their new surroundings and picking at the Bermuda grass. Very cute! So happy that they did so well...

    Flies no more!! Found the perfect fly repellent.

    I have had a really bad problem with flies (I'm new to this) so I searched flies on here and found this thread. When I read on here about the vanilla smell I thought of an idea. I sell Scentsy which is a wickless low watt bulb burner and you put a few pieces of a scent bar in your choice of...

    Clip Wings?

    LOL... so it's not like the kind of bird that will fly away and I won't be able to catch it?? That's what I was worried about the most. It sounds like they are slow movers.
