    My chicken is shaking, tail down, not eating much

    We have no compost pile, there's a separate community one in our neighborhood. Her crop seems to be full, or at least there's something in there, and soft. This morning we went to check up on her and she's now standing up and alert. She stopped shaking and ate both chicken feed and tomatoes. Is...

    My chicken is shaking, tail down, not eating much

    I don't think it was botulism. I had my mother check her for bugs (since I have very bad eyesight) and she said she might have found some small bugs on her. They look like poultry lice. Would lice make her that sick? She isn't shaking as much now, and ate a little bit of tomato. We don't have...

    My chicken is shaking, tail down, not eating much

    She was fine yesterday, but only started to show symptoms this morning. She had also laid an egg yesterday. Only her first few eyes were thin-shelled, but after that they were perfectly fine. Her poop was fine, and today she had not pooped so far that I know of. We don't have a compost pile...

    My chicken is shaking, tail down, not eating much

    Egg binding or parasites?

    Oh, I've never heard of a broody sitting on an empty nest, and I just tested that, and now she's sitting on a golf ball insistently and pecking my hand when i go near her. How can i stop or alteast speed up her broody-ness?

    Egg binding or parasites?

    Maybe, but she's never sitting on anything, egg, golf ball, just sitting there. When I try to pick her up she flaps her wings and begins to crow for about 5 minutes

    Egg binding or parasites?

    I found a female chicken running around my neighborhood, and no one claimed it after a bout two months. She began laying eggs for about a month a few weeks after we found her, but now she sits in her laying box nearly every day, and hasn't laid eggs for around three days now. I know that Egg...

    She's Droopy. How Do I Help Her?

    I have one older chick and had two younger ones. One of the younger chicks recently died. We moved the coop to a more sheltered area, thoroughly washed it, and cleaned out their water and food. The remaining younger chick is droopy, her eyes half closed, and when I let her out of the coop to eat...

    Concerned About My Barred Rock's Mental Health!

    I had two chickens- a Delaware and a Barred Rock, both about four months old, and the Delaware died. I didn't want my Barred Rock to be lonely, so I got two baby chicks- a Silver Laced Wyandotte and an Australorp. I introduced them, for the first few weeks through a fence. When the baby chicks...
