Thank you Wyorp Rock for responding I know my message was so vague but she was only 2 yrs old she died that night. Her crop was empty because she wasn't eating and I don't know when she last ate or laid but she was drinking I saw her drink that morning. She was basically just sitting alone by...
Can anyone tell me what these pictures might indicate? The red feathers are are literally falling off of her...it makes me so sad. She has stopped eating and has very messy poop and is only drinking a little water now...we just gave her a bath and I took these pictures. Thank you for any...
Thank you everyone for your replies this is what was in the pen this morning it looks something like a soft shell also I can see she has pooped even though I'm not sure what that means but it is good right? And it looks pretty normal. I also gave her some Fish Mox I'm not sure how much...
Interesting...that could be the case...last night we cleaned her bottom up again and she is still drinking and eating and very bright eyed so I may check into this today thanks so much for your wisdom Eggcessive!
Yes that is what it looked like I didn't take a pic do you know of anything I can give her like antibiotics or anything....what I have been reading is very sad to me....I don't know what to do thank you for your response....
Hello all,
I thought my 2 yr old barred rock may be egg bound but i couldn't feel any egg up inside her...we gave her a warm epson salt soak yesterday and kept her separate from the rest of my girls for the rest of the day and last night. This morning she had excreted something long but I have...
Hi I have a sick hen as well she is 17 mos old, not eating but drinking and just moving around very slowly and then sitting down as if she is resting. Her crop is squishy. How do you treat for a sour crop? Thank you in advance! I've never had a sick chicken and don't know what to do I did...
Hi Kiki she got on the roost and I felt her stomach (what I think is her stomach) I didn't feel any swelling and I felt her crop and it is sorta gel like, watery, is that how it is supposed to be?
Hi Kiki I feed Nutrena nature Wise Feather Fixer. They have been on this for about 3-4 weeks not I switched from Purina . I didn't notice her belly being swollen when I picked her up but I really wasn't paying attention to that part. My husband held her for me while I felt for an egg.
Should...
I have a 17 month old Australorp hen who looks like she is not feeling well. I saw her this afternoon sitting under a chair while all my other girls were pecking around.
I checked to see if an egg was stuck in her but i couldn't feel one. She is just walking around very slowly and then...
Love my sandy coop and run! We have sand in both areas ordered from a local concrete company. Easy to clean and no smell. Living in central Florida with all the rain i just can't imagine using anything else....it is a gift from God! We have a 10 X 10 coop and a 10 X 20 run we put in about 3-...
Also Art yest my girls free range some but it is actually a chicken yard for them that is fenced in but still ....they get grass and different things to scratch through whenever we are home.
Oh wow thanks aart that is the bomb! But were your girls afraid of this at first? Mine are so skeptical of anything new...except a few of them. That it a great idea I will start freezing a chunk of ice. It looks like a couple of your girls have feathers off of their backs too? How did that...
Yes thank you 2hotchicks fortunately we have had a break this week with the storm in the gulf so we have a lot of rain which has cooled it down some. We have a tree which does give them good shade but I really like the idea about the frozen treats! I think part of the problem is they are...
