Thank you for replying. My chicken is a black silkie hen and I just put her and animals there hen in with the rooster. For some reason I've only seen him mating with her so I feel it is head trauma. I leave her in with them at night but if I see this is a problem I'll get her out. She eats and...
I found my hen this morning with her head between her legs and got her head up. I have gave her two doses of vitamin E and baby vitamins and scrabbled eggs. I feel like she has shown improvement. She will be walking around fairly well but all of a sudden she will walk backwards and her head will...

Her poop looks normal as long as she has the eggs in her system but as soon as all the eggs have been passed her poop is watery with bright green poop mixed in it.
My hen is not eating much on her own. I am having to feed her scrambled eggs out of my hand. Today it looked like she laid and egg the size of a jelly bean and the shell was really soft. Any ideas what might be going on with her now? I also gave her the calcium tonight. Thanks in advance. I am...

My hen that was sick seemed to get better and was out with the others for about 4 days and got sick again. I felt like it was coccidiosis and sour crop I know Sulmet is not as good as Corid but at the time i could not get it and had to order it. I have been giving the Sulmet and seeing...
I just seen your post about vaccinating chicks and I have show silkies and would love to raise some this spring but I am terrified about vaccinating. Can you tell me how this is done? I do not know how to do this and afraid of hurting the chicks. Thanks in advance..
Very happy to report that her crop has went down and been down all day. She is eating good and pooping good. Keeping her in until she lays and egg and I know everything is back to normal not taking any chances..Thanks so much for everyone's help in getting my little girl better.
