Update!! She has flystrike. We bathed her to get rid of her messy vent, and discovered maggots - we’re doing every trick from google we can- have you got any tips?
I came up to the hen’s coop today and saw one of our active hens, Lisa, hidden in a corner, sitting down, very fluffed up, eyes closed.
She is almost two and a half years old and is a rescue hen.
I had noticed her vent being a little messy yesterday, and wondered if it was vent gleet - but now...
Thank you for your reply! Her crop is emptying on it’s own and her droppings look normal but she hasn’t been eating as much.
Update: She is sitting almost lopsided, one wing out, one wing in, and she can’t manage to stand up or walk. I don’t think she’ll get any better.
Hello! Please help~
One of our hens out of three has collapsed.
This is the second time after yesterday, but she got up and acted normally after that, however this time she couldn’t manage to get herself up.
She had been acting poorly a week and a half ago, she wouldn’t move much and her comb...
Hello! I was wondering if you could help me, I am really worried!
My brother came crying in a few days ago that he had accidentally stepped on one of our hens feet!!
Im not sure if it’s connected to the problem, but one of her toes has turned sideways. She is still walking, but it looks like one...
Hey! I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful rooster. I had this problem with my chicken exactly like yours. Luckily, it was able to get better by the end of the day, unfortunately we didn’t know what was wrong but feed him and make sure he is hydrated. It could just be a vitamin deficiency...
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES!!!! She looks back to normal now, although her tail is down.
Notes: We noticed the difference that it made when she was apart from the group, I don’t know if it was if the group were worried but they weren’t eating much of their breakfast! We luckily got an egg...
Thanks you! She isn’t a month and a half, we have had her for a month and a half. She doesn’t have any injuries, but now she is able to stand, not walk much though. When we found her, her claws/feet were clenched together.
We took her apart from the others.
Hey! I am new with chickens, so do you know what’s going on?
I came to let our chickens out for the day, one of them wouldn’t come out of their nesting area. She couldnt stand, how hard she tried. Her comb was floppy but still a healthy colour. We separated her from the group and made her as...
Hey! I am very new to keeping chickens, so my question may be odd do you older members.
I have three lovely ex-rescue hens, they are eating normally (although one is VERY greedy), laying a lot, but one hen started off as the greediest, then the tamest one, and now she is relatively tame and the...
