    What's wrong with Lil' Red? 😭

    Good morning, Lil Red has been eating more today. I started the day with a crop massage before I offered food. Her crop isn't empty all the way, but feels pretty squishy. So far she's eaten an egg, a cherry tomato that I cut in half, some of the pumpkin/Greek yogurt, and Romaine lettuce. She...

    What's wrong with Lil' Red? 😭

    Yes, she has had access to grits in her run and when I let her out. Thank you for your help. I'll keep you posted.

    What's wrong with Lil' Red? 😭

    This morning I felt her crop, and it felt much better, very little contents. I still massaged for a while, gave some coconut oil in warm water down her throat. She looks better, more alert, and interested in food more than she has been. After massaging the crop I gave her the pumpkin & Greek...

    What's wrong with Lil' Red? 😭

    This morning I felt her crop and it is impacted. I've been able to soften it up quite a bit. She is still pooping, which I'm thinking might be a good sign. My question now is...if it's softened enough will she be able to digest the contents? I've withheld food today and been massaging. What now...

    What's wrong with Lil' Red? 😭

    I just thought of that tonight. She was in her crate and I was looking in at her, and it seemed as though her crop was full, even though she hasn't eaten hardly anything. I'm going to check her crop in the morning and see if it's full. If it is, I'm going to try and soften the contents and see...

    What's wrong with Lil' Red? 😭

    My poor little hen has been sick over the past week. She's lethargic, just stands around in the run, not interested in things that she loves. She will drink water but eats hardly any food. She's stopped laying over the past couple months. Her last few eggs had no shells, just the membrane. I've...

    Official BYC Poll: What Factors Affect Your Chicken Feed Buying Decisions?

    Health and laying longevity are my main concern. I feed mine a homemade mix of black oil sunflower seeds, cracked or whole corn, rolled whole oats, millet, and flax seeds. They also get vegetable and fruit scraps, and a daily small (8 oz. canning jar for 9 hens) treat of mealworms. They have a...

    Rescued chickens, what could the issues be?

    I rescued 2 hens from my neighbors a couple of days ago. They weren't be fed or given water. The coop had 4-6 inches of poop everywhere, I needed to help them. These are some statements about their health and behavior, I'd be grateful for any insights! Both of them will be a year old next...
