    Houdan wilting

    OK...update. My Houdan improved considerably after being wormed (was eating and moving around more within about 24 hours). But, I noticed today that she was back to looking depressed. I picked her up and although she's been eating fairly well, she doesn't seem to be putting on much weight...

    Houdan wilting

    I have a Mottled Houdan hen that is about 1.5 years old. She's always been healthy and always laid well. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed she was suddenly being picked on by my flock (5 hens total). She has always been low-man on the totem pole so I assumed she had commited some chicken crime...

    Sick Chicken - diahrrea, listless, lack of appetite

    Yes, she died a few hours later. Poor little thing. Buried her in the garden under the hydrangeas where she liked to scratch. I treated the others. This is so weird--my grandma raised chickens for as long as I can remember and she never wormed them. She had chickens that lived for 6-8 years...

    Quote: I will do that. Thank you very much. How often do you usually worm? Once or twice a year?

    Sick Chicken - diahrrea, listless, lack of appetite

    Quote: Thank you everyone for your replies. I picked her up and checked around the vent. There are no lice or mites that I can see. It is poopy on the feathers but the skin itself is very clean. I parted feathers on her back, around her legs, on her neck and still didn't see anything. I...

    Sick Chicken - diahrrea, listless, lack of appetite

    Hi Everyone, Hopefully, you can help! I have a 1 year old Easter Egger (mixed breed) who is normally very active and vigorous. Over the last 2-3 weeks, she has had diahrrea and has been kind of hiding out (not her normal self). She also stopped laying. I left it for about a week because I...
