    Lethargic super skinny hen

    Morning Update: She's trying to stand, and she's definitely pooping. Her poop was solid this morning, but looked sort of like oatmeal (ew lol). Her crop was not empty, as she munched all night. It's like she's keeping herself "topped off" on food. I'm keeping fresh water and pellet layer...

    Lethargic super skinny hen

    she hasn't been wormed, so I'll look into wormer tomorrow when the stores are open. all flock as in like meat bird feed? I thought about supplementing some of that or some feather maker during the molting times for extra protein. (18% vs 22% protein I think) Thanks! :)

    Lethargic super skinny hen

    I have a Welsummer girl about 9 months old. She's fluffed up and lethargic. Tipsy. Weak. her face seems pale, and her poop seems much more watery than usual. We've had a somewhat mild winter with weather going back and forth between sunshiny and mild to suddenly freezing with temps in the...

    2 year old Barred Rock with chest issue? Help! (With pics and updated)

    Update: I hade to put Lumpy down today. She's been a bit lethargic lately. Napping a lot. Stopped laying. Today I checked her and she was just laying on the bottom of the coop letting the other chickens walk over her. She couldn't stand on her own. I picked her up and she's lost a lot of...

    2 year old Barred Rock with chest issue? Help! (With pics and updated)

    Update: The barred rock formerly known as Breakfast has been renamed Lumpy. She still has her large lump on her chest. It doesn't hang any lower. She's still active (eating, pooping, laying, and educating the new chicks about the rules in the chicken coop. I'm convinced that this is some sort...

    2 year old Barred Rock with chest issue? Help! (With pics and updated)

    Thanks for the reply! I have been checking on her all day. The mass isn't gritty at all. It has the consistency and firmness of a cooked chicken breast. I was referred to my local feed store owner (who is knowledgable with chickens). She says she doesn't think it's the crop either. She says that...

    I feed them layer (pellets), garden and table scraps, they free range in the back yard occasionally, and have hay for nesting and also in the bottom of the run to help keep their feet drier.

    2 year old Barred Rock with chest issue? Help! (With pics and updated)

    Original post: I have a 2 year old barred rock hen with a fist sized lump on her left breast. I thought this might be impacted crop, but have read that the crop is on the right side of the breast. After 2 days of no change (the pics are two days apart), I started giving her water and olive oil...

    New and hoping for some advice

    *UPDATE* We went to the local feed store April 27th and picked up 3 barred rocks and 2 Rhode Island reds. All about a week and a half old. My 11 year old daughter named the Rocks Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. The Reds are Snack and Dessert. Then my Mom gave me an Americauna (3-4 days old)...

    New and hoping for some advice

    Ty all! :) I've had others suggest Rhode Islands and Barred Rocks. I was also told I should pick up a white Leghorn and at least one Americana (not sure if I'm spelling that right). I'm not sure where to find Buff Orpingtons or Easter Eggers

    New and hoping for some advice

    My hubby and I are preparing to get our first chicks, and set up our first brooder. We built our coop last weekend. I'd like to get 5 chicks. All girls, no boys (not allowed to have roosters here). We'd like to get some variety in egg colors, but I'm unsure on which breeds to possibly get. Any...
