    I will take a fecal sample tomorrow, now that she is in isolation(the shower🙃, not the first shower chicken) I will be able to know it’s hers. If she has something I will be able to treat the other girls too. There are 8, 4 road island reds and 4 brown leg horns. She will be a year in March...

    One of the girls is dehydrated and thin, comb is shrunken, poor feather quality-head/neck. I have isolated her. I have also gotten samples and checked for mites/lice, and that was negative. Any thoughts... I have a son who is very attached to his chickens. Please help.

    One of the Orpingtons is not well. We are in Nebraska and had to move for a week with all the flooding ( they came too). She has not been laying since we left. We are back home now, and have been for over a week. I thought it was probably stress from all that was going on. She passed some thick...

    Will she still lay eggs? None of them had started laying yet, they were only 4-5 months old. Do I need to worry if she's not laying? Not worried about getting eggs just want to make sure she stays healthy!!
