    My old girl is not doing well

    I did all of this. Rosie was my only chicken. I took care of her best I could and I believe she was really old but she lived the last 2 years of her life in chicken Shangri-La!

    My old girl is not doing well

    She almost has a kind of normal looking poop yesterday, just a very small amount , and I thought that must be the eggs, spinach and banana I poured down her

    My old girl is not doing well

    She has stuff all over her. I liquified eggs and spinach and I got more on her than in her! Same with the Nutridrench! It’s everywhere! All the stuff on her is from me trying to force feed her! I don’t know what else to try to get in her but every morning when I get up - she’s the same.

    My old girl is not doing well

    Hi. I don’t even know what crop means! All I know is she had a ton of mites and she has hook worms which I was treating her for before all this started last Friday. We (my nephew) bathed her in Dawn and got so many mites off her. All that bathing probably didn’t help matters except to get rid of...

    My old girl is not doing well

    Someone on this thread said they didn’t think she was anemic because her combs are still red! I have no idea but she definitely is at least 8 years old - she belonged to my friends mom who passed away so we figure she was born around 2014 or or shortly before. I can’t figure while she will let...

    My old girl is not doing well

    So, my Rosalita is still living. I don’t know what do do with her as she won’t even open her eyes. Periodically I give her water with a syringe. She takes the water but refuses anything else. The way she shakes her head and fights me when I try to give her nutrition is incredible because she’s...

    My old girl is not doing well

    She’s long past laying age. She’s been healthy and fine for the 2 years. I took her to the vet not long ago and all her problems were just hook worms and mites.

    My old girl is not doing well

    Thank you for the info. Imma run get the vitamins and electrolytes. If it’s her age I guess she will just go on her own? Ugh. I rescued her 2 years ago. She’s just been a pet - never laid an egg. I’ve been treating her for hook worms. I hope that’s not what’s making her feel bad.

    My old girl is not doing well

    I don’t have any but I could go to Tractor Supply and get some? I asked at Atwood’s yesterday but he said there’s nothing to give her to boost her. She will not eat on her own. She has no interest in eating or drinking. She won’t even open her eyes. She seems irritated when I mess with her. I...

    My old girl is not doing well

    My elderly hen is sick. She won’t eat or drink on her own but I put spinach and a scrambled egg & water in the blender to make it liquid. She will take it, but fights me! She will take water too but not much. She had mites really bad but we bathed her and got all the mites off and she still...

    Bathing chicken for mites

    My Rosalita does not lay eggs. She also sleeps in a wire dog crate in my dining room. I believe she is over 8 years old. I am about to go to Tractor Supply but I have dusted her several times with the poultry powder I got at Atwood’s. I use a power washer in the wire crate every other day so I...

    Bathing chicken for mites

    Lol. Currently I’m bathing my own self! But I will definitely do it next time one crawls on my face! But here is a photo of my Rosalita! I rescued her from the desert 50 miles south of Albuquerque. 2 years ago
