    Chicken sick! help!

We've had one other chicken get sick last year and she made a recovery; we used an antibiotic ointment, i forget the...

    ok, got her plenty of water; i can feel it in her crop. so, just checked out the vent and there's definitely an egg in there and she pooped all over the place, rather quickly, and it didn't seem like normal poop. much like water and feed, but has a more foul smell, like poop would. so, i...

    Chicken sick! help!

    She's almost a year old, layed just two days ago. Barnvelder. She was eating and running around the yard fine yesterday, made her way in to the coop at sundown, but was wobbly then; as in, she wouldn't rest on the roosting bar like they all normally do. I don't recall what all vaccines she...
