    Spitting up water, a little disoriented

    UPDATE: She seemed fine for about 4 or 5 days but then started a major molt and green poop. Her energy level is normal. Should I be worried?

    Spitting up water, a little disoriented

    Awesome, that's what we did. Today she still looks good, I managed to wrestle her long enough to do a breath sniff - no sour or foul odor. I'm going to keep with soft food for a bit, plus being better about ACV and yogurt treats.

    Spitting up water, a little disoriented

    She is much better today after work! She ate and drank while I was gone, and was talking when I got back. I put her out in the yard and she let out a huge poop -runny, brown with white stringy stuff and evidence of this morning's breakfast. She has energy and awareness. I will see if she...

    Spitting up water, a little disoriented

    It was clear water, and I was able to encourage her to eat and drink last night. She seems a little peppier today, but if you think she should stay separated then I will do that. Also, her crop does not feel full after her little snack last night, but I am not experienced in checking it.

    Spitting up water, a little disoriented

    1) RIR hen, 3 years old, normal weight (I think) 2) Last night she did not go up and perch, this afternoon she was a little disoriented outside and when I picked her up, a lot of water came out of her beak. After that she kept her beak open for a while. She did not fight too much when I picked...

    Are apples okay for chickens?

    Mine love apple cores! I would agree on the "too much of a good thing," thought, maybe check and see that not too many have dropped at once onto your hungry girls. I believe someone on here posited the theory that a few apple seeds were a good thing for mite control - the little bit of cyanide...

    my chickens are overheated? how to keep them cool in the summer?

    I mist mine with the hose whether they like it or not. I also rotate water containers in and out of the freezer, and have cold wet treats like fruit bits from the fridge. I think I might get cheap bags of frozen veggies this year too, any thoughts on that?

    Stories of your Chicken Names

    This is Ginger, named for her color and after the lead hen in "Chicken Run." Strangely enough she turned out to be a ringleader of trouble and always plotting escape plans. This is Shiva, named because she is a light Brahma so I wanted to come up with another Indian name for her. She's...

    Help me understand please! Third world countries...

    To tie all these topics together ... the number one factor in reducing a nation's birth rate is the education of women. Period. A basic education opens the door for more education, jobs, and independence. From there a woman can decide on delayed marriage, birth control, abortion, abstinence...

    So, if they are young and broody and snoozing on the eggs, should I do anything about it? Or let the hormones run their course if she is not being aggressive?

    Chicken pile

    Mine are 6 months and prefer to dogpile near the window in the coop rather than use the perch. And they play lots of silly games in the yard when I let them out. I wouldn't worry about it too much, they are silly teenagers right now!
