    Help? Worm problem

    Update: she didn’t make it through the night. She was an older non-laying hen and I think the stress was just too much. 😭

    Help? Worm problem

    Applied veterecin and clipped feathers. She’s pretty droopy. I gave her syringe of water with electrolyte but she won’t touch mealworms or sunflower seeds which she usually loves. I hope she perks up tonight.

    Help? Worm problem

    No picture just couldn’t manage. Good soaks and a thorough going over with tweezers. She’s warm and dry in my ‘hen hospital’ while I go to get some veterecin for the wound. 🥺

    Help? Worm problem

    I thought my chicken was egg bound...waddling, tail down so I put her in a bucket of warm water to soak and these WORMS floated up and wiggled around. Anyone know what they are? I have Diatomaceous earth I immediately put in all the feed. Local feed store only had zyfend, so I just put that...

    First Egg Today! But Laid on the Poop Tray?

    Ha ha, mine laid her first egg today, I found it on the poop tray when I pulled it out to clean, too! Found another in a bush near the coop. Looks like they will be spending a little more time in the run and a little less time free ranging.

    16.5 weeks and the gold sexlink just squatted?!

    My GSL just laid her first egg in the nest box today. Got her from the farm store February 28th, so she's about 16.5 weeks. Found another in the yard that is hers too, I htink she laid that yesterday, or the day before.

    Is this Silver Laced Wyandotte a Roo?

    Thanks for your replies. I'm new, so a bit overwhelmed by all the information out there. I had read there were many different comb types, but I really appreciate the illustration! I'll post pics again later if she still seems questionable.

    Buff Orp chick question

    Yeah, we ended up getting another one and she's doing just fine. I just wish I knew what the cause was. I'd hate to think my inexperience may have missed an obvious solution. Who knows? Maybe there is something BO's are prone to that I'm unaware of. Best of luck to yours.
