    Cured the sour crop, but now small impaction

    I’ll try that. My seven (including the one with the issue) are huge girls too. I’ve also got two standard issue light brown older hens who look like dwarves compared to the Black Gold Laced Wyandottes. 😂 I’ve never had ANY problems with the older, smaller girls - so there’s that. Good luck with...

    Cured the sour crop, but now small impaction

    Thanks for the article 😊 I read it about five times to make sure I took care of the sour crop. 😉 At any rate: I feel her crop before I let her out - first thing before she eats. It WAS swollen and doughy/gritty, but now it feels much smaller, and pretty hard. It kinda rolls around towards the...

    Cured the sour crop, but now small impaction

    Hi all - I successfully treated one of my hens for sour crop, but there still seems to be a small lump in her crop. I suspect it’s a piece of impacted ick, but I’m not sure what I should do next. She looks much better and is up and around with her sisters - eating and drinking well. I haven’t...

    Treating chickens with Oregano Oil

    I use it on myself for chest congestion/mucus. Oil of oregano tastes positively HORRIBLE - but it works! Don’t use more than 1-2 drops in 1/2 cup of water if you decide to use it on humans. I didn’t read the directions and was stupid enough to put two drops directly on my tongue. 😛🔥🔥🔥 - holy...

    She's passed now, thanks. Where will our ancient dying hen be most comfortable?

    I’m sure it calmed her heart to be in a favorite spot. RIP little hen. 😘

    How do you name a chicken?

    I’m the namer of cats and hens in our family. My favorite little hen was the runt and I called her Lil’ Bit. Her sisters are Pixie, Trixie, Lolly, Spark, Maxi and Felix (I just realized I’ve got a thing for the x’s 🤣). I’ve got two old girls who I rescued from the shelter (nearly 10 years old!)...

    Sour crop!

    Hi - I’ve got a girl who has a full squishy crop with what feels like sand in it. We’ve been massaging her and giving her cocoanut oil and started Monostat. I’ve been trying to get some Greek yogurt down her too. I’m expecting some poultry probiotics tomorrow. That said, I’m just not sure what...

    Neck Feathers/Head “Dandruff” (🥴)

    Good advice. Without putting BLAME on my husband (who’s TOTALLY to blame btw 🤣😂🤣), we’re going to start tapering off. Our grocery bill is out of this world! He actually clips coupons and goes around to three different stores for all those chickens. 🐓 👀 😂

    Neck Feathers/Head “Dandruff” (🥴)

    Thank you so much for both the compliment and the info! I’ve had my two old girls for nine years and they were both rescues so I don’t have much experience in looking after a small flock. The shelters were empty so my husband ordered them. I had NO IDEA you could *order* chickens and they come...

    Neck Feathers/Head “Dandruff” (🥴)

    Not arguing at all, just trying to learn ;) Is there some reason her sisters aren’t affected? She’s hiding from their favorite treat while all the others are acting normal. I had to chase her, but the first two are her (and a sister hen in the second one) and the third is one of the “healthy”...

    Neck Feathers/Head “Dandruff” (🥴)

    Hi all - sorry for length of this post, but I want to “get ahead” of many questions you experts might have. Thanks In Advance! ••• Two of my hens have what looks like dandruff on their head and one of the same has lost neck feathers. I have cameras in the coop/run and have been monitoring them...
