Thank you, I didn't get a chance to feed her andy but I did have some set a side the day before since I heard it was recommended to make it more solid so they eat it.
I'm not sure how old she was since she was adopted. She eats regular layer feed and weeds from the garden. I had checked her crop the previous day and it was still full, but not as solid.
For a about a week this hen has not been doing well, she was walking around ok but slowly it started to decline. She's not able to walk anymore and wobbles.
At first I thought it was an impacted crop, which it probably is too, but now she sits and sleeps. She is also malnourished from the...
One of our roosters can't walk properly, they can move their legs but they lean more on the back side/knee. When he goes to move his head sways a lot, kind of like how an owl moves it's head. It's been raining a lot recently and the roof they had leaks so the ground was not optimal, (we fixed...

Ah sorry, I wasn't sure if it was obvious, yeah I don't think they are either. For the next time I incubate, how do I make sure my hens are optimal for eggs?
I hatched a gaint batch and the majority has survived and are doing very well. So it's most likely an incubator issue, since I had a...
The black parts of the leg are just a coloration, they are lavender orpingtons so it's normal for them to have that, and hopefully the chicks are in a better place
Two of the birds just passed away yesterday. The chick in the first 2 images has one leg sticking out and the other leg has red around the joint, probably because it's leaning on that one more. The last image has both legs locked in that position, they also have red on both joints.
