    Runny weird poop and lethargic

    Hi all! I've taken a step back from my post to try and help my Lulu. She's doing about the same. I checked for mites/lice and she's clean. Doesn't stink at either end. Internally feels smooth. She's breathing fine with her beak closed. I do feel however her crop/breast bone area are a little...

    Pale comb, sick looking, isolated, rarely moving bird

    I am so so deeply sorry, my heart hurts for you. I hope your remaining chickens will surpass this deadly disease and will grow old happy and healthy!

    Runny weird poop and lethargic

    She is about a year and 5 months old. Honestly through the winter my chickens never stopped laying and I have six. However I don't know who lays what. I've been getting 5 eggs a day the last few days and I'm assuming she is not laying. I do put apple cider vinegar in their water and add DE to...

    Runny weird poop and lethargic

    Hi all! I'm hoping someone can offer some sound advice for one of my hens (Lulu). About a week ago I noticed she was yawning a lot which triggered me to look online and found possible gape worm or respiratory infection. The "yawning" has since stopped but the last few days she's slowly...

    Egg Bound?

    Thank you for the advice! I tried checking her vent by myself and she wasn't having it nor the bath so I have to wait for someone to help me. In the meantime she's the same but definitely eating and drinking. I gave her organic plain yogurt with oyster shells which she loved and water with...

    Egg Bound?

    Stupid question....what's a urate? I have not noticed any bloody poop. We did get a really tiny egg on Sunday which was weird because we've never gotten one before. There was no yolk. I'm going to see how she is tomorrow. I may have a friend of mine come over and take a look at her, she's had...

    Egg Bound?

    Hi there! So one of my girls seems to be egg bound but I'm not quite sure. She lethargic, stands around puffed out, eyes closed. She's eating a bit, had some oyster shells earlier and is drinking. We checked the outside of her vent to make sure she didn't have sticky butt but it seemed all...

    HELP! Emergency!

    Well I feel like it could be a major emergency. I have six almost ten month old chickens and noticed yesterday that one of them seemed wobbly on her feet and sits down often. Her tail is droopy when she is sitting. She will still peck around a bit and drink some water, but looks depressed...
