    Hen with excessive thirst, hunger, diarrhea and severe weight loss

    One thing is for sure, I have thrown everything at this poor hen. The problem is that whenever I lose a hen, it breaks me. Like most chicken tenders on here, these girls have become my pets and I love each of them and feel like I have failed them if they pass and I haven't tried everything...

    Hen with excessive thirst, hunger, diarrhea and severe weight loss

    I haven't noticed any bloating from holding her for weigh ins, but will check more thoroughly in the morning. I hadn't considered a possible blockage, but it is definitely possible. She hasn't laid over the last month while she's been inside. Not sure about before that. I just don't think her...

    Hen with excessive thirst, hunger, diarrhea and severe weight loss

    I feed the entire flock Hearty Hen pellets by Nutrena. At the time this went down, I had started the flock on some fermented feed made from Scratch and Peck's Organic layer Mash.

    Hen with excessive thirst, hunger, diarrhea and severe weight loss

    Please help! I am at the end of my rope. I have a 3y/o barred rock hen who has chronic diarrhea and has lost half her body weight (she's basically bones) since her last weigh in last September. I don't know if it was fast or slow weight loss. I initially brought her in because her bum was...

    So confused about this chicken!

    This chicken is so confusing! Interesting about the white feathers. I hope I can get to the bottom of it, but he's cute either way :) Thanks!

    So confused about this chicken!

    This is Baby, a ten week old chicken that I purchased from a mystery pullet box at Bomgaars. First of all, is this a Sapphire Gem? Secondly, is it a rooster? I believe it is, but just wanting to get another opinion. Thank you!
