    Yes, I did give the calcium and she still has yet to lay an egg. I checked for a stuck egg but there’s nothing in there. Any particular kind/brand of B Complex? I have to run to the pharmacy tomorrow anyway. I’ve ordered the sling. Thank you!!

    Lethargic, warm, diarrhea, general “yuckiness”

    @Eggcessive I’m sorry if I’m bugging you but I wonder if there’s anything else you can think of that I haven’t tried. She still isn’t mobile and I just don’t know what to do. She has started standing for short periods(first picture) and her appetite comes and goes. Her poop is both green and...

    Lethargic, warm, diarrhea, general “yuckiness”

    Update: I've done 5 days of Rooster Booster Liquid b-12, A dose of Vet Rx and Safeguard AquaSol and have given her 3 epsom salt soaks (mostly to get the poop off her butt). She's not laid any eggs since I've brought her into the house but I am not 100% sure she's even started laying for us...

    Thank you! She seems to be perking up a bit today but still isn’t interested much in eating or drinking. I’ll get a picture of her poop in the morning

    Found on one of my leghorn’s beaks

    Ok, that’s not bad then. I was told she was a leghorn when I bought her. WTH is she then?! 😂 (I’m laughing because-of course I would be told something incorrect)

    Ha! I’m from Wisconsin and live in Minnesota! I’ve often wondered why I still live here and dream of warm weather from Oct 1-May30

    Found on one of my leghorn’s beaks

    I found this weird scab/sore thing on one of my girls. It’s located where the comb connects with the beak. It’s grey in color, looks kind of like a callous or build up of cells. I’m wondering a couple of things: 1. What is it? 2. Is it contagious (I have 4 other pullets)? 3. How do I treat it...

    Hey all! I live in Minnesota where we can go from 105°F in the summer to -30°F in the winter. I grew up on a farm that had chickens and other animals, but this is my first time raising chickens as an adult and being fully responsible for their care. We currently have 5 hens/pullets that free...
