    Scrawny Saved Chickens

    Thank you for the article on space requirements! We're glad to have gotten these two out of their old place and into ours where they have plenty of room to free range as well as a covered run and coop.

    Scrawny Saved Chickens

    Ahhh. That makes sense. These are around 12-14 months old, and he wasn't sure if these 2 were laying or not because he had too many to tell which ones were actually laying. I'll give them a few vitamins to boost them and let them enjoy their new quarantined area while we further assess their...

    Do you think Poultry Booster would work? Our local farm store & TSC don't have the NutriDrench.

    Scrawny Saved Chickens

    We adopted two Hyline Brown hens today and have them in quarantine before adding to our small flock. They don't seem to be sick, but given that they came from a huge flock confined to a small space, they are scrawny and look as though they've been picked on a lot (missing feathers). While they...

    Vent Prolapse, Poop Stench, Pasty Butt in 21 Day Old Chick

    Well, sad news today. Little chick didn't do well last night. Her vent was prolapsed out even further and she looked like she was bearing down with every breath. The stench of her poop was even worse. She was hunkered down shivering and standing in her feed mush in the corner, with her...

    Vent Prolapse, Poop Stench, Pasty Butt in 21 Day Old Chick

    Thank you so much for all your help. We're sorry to see her sick too. She's our 3 1/2 year old daughter's favorite chick. We'll continue the treatment that you described, and if she's not better by Thursday will most likely put her down. I hate for her to suffer too long. Unfortunately...

    Vent Prolapse, Poop Stench, Pasty Butt in 21 Day Old Chick

    Thank you for your advice! Yes - we hate that she's doing poorly too. She's our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter's favorite chick. She doesn't eat anything in addition to the medicated chick starter feed. I'll use the coconut oil for lubrication and get the grit to her. If she's not well by...

    Vent Prolapse, Poop Stench, Pasty Butt in 21 Day Old Chick

    Thank you for your help. I edited my earlier reply to include pictures of her poop. I'll get some grit today and get her started. I'd hate it if she's suffering. How long would you let her go like this before putting her down?

    Vent Prolapse, Poop Stench, Pasty Butt in 21 Day Old Chick

    I have posted pictures of her poop with this post. They are still on her little butt and I had to help her get them off. I will soak her in epsom salts tomorrow and stop using witch hazel. I used veterycin spray yesterday as well and forgot to put that in my original post. I cleaned her up...

    Vent Prolapse, Poop Stench, Pasty Butt in 21 Day Old Chick

    We have a 21 Day old Delaware female chick who we've been treating for Pasty Butt for a week or so. We used the simple olive oil on her backside to clean her off and gently removed the poop with a wet paper towel. We added Apple Cider Vinegar and Electrolyte/Vitamin mix to the water for all 11...
