Yes they are on layer feed and free range most of the time. She did get up ina low roost tonight as she had been laying on the floor so I’m optimistic she’s starting to feel better but, still not herself.
My hens seem to be have something plaguing them over time. This is the second hen that has a poppy butt for a while and then becomes lethargic. We ended up culling the other after an injury from a neighbors dog so unsure how she would have turned out- this was over a month ago and no one has...
Anyone have any idea? At first it looked like vent gleet but now what looks like a random popped blister?
Not hard. Doesn’t seem to bother her. Doesn’t seem infected… eating and acting totally fine…
I don’t feel an egg and she did lay yesterday. They are in an enclosed area so I can’t imagine anything would be in there… this was a matter of an hour from fine to this…
This sweet girl (1 year 2 months) was fine this morning when I let them out of the coop. Ate fine, seemed and looked totally normal. I came out an hour later to find her laying on the ground panting and pale as can be. She’s quarantined now but so listless and falling over…. I don’t think she’s...
Second time this week I have seen blood in 6 week old chickens. Just moved them to into old adult chickens coop (the adults are in new bigger coop) which was cleaned but maybe not spotless- so wondering if they caught cocci from them? They have never had any o virus signs but not sure what else...
I took another video when I got home from work… I feel like something is wrong… they are all doing this but not as bad and this one was wiping its beak as well…
we have little flies yes but nothing terrible like I don’t see them buzzing around their heads it just seems like they twitch like that quite constant.
Thanks! When I found her this morning she was flat out on her back one wing spread with her legs straight out. I suspected sudden death based off of the position but just so unexpected!
I will try and get a video today when I get home . They are gypsy moth caterpillars or now called spongy moth caterpillars (they just changed the name) they are all over and eat them up very quickly so sadly no way to avoid them as they fall from the trees.
She was literally fine yesterday...
