    How old is your oldest laying hen?

    I have 3 RIR and 1 Buff Orp. I get 2 to 3 eggs a day. They are 4.5 years old. Out of the 12 hens I started with, these ladies are what is left. I'm happy with them.

    Impacted crop?

    I have a three year old RIR. She presented with being a little lethargic. This went on for a week. I also noticed she had diarrhea and a poopy butt. Three days ago she started isolating herself and wouldn't go up to the roost. I felt her crop and it felt squishy. The next day it still felt...

    Weak hen

    I have noticed her head shaking, and can sometimes hear her breath. She has no runny nose, no runny eyes, no sneezing, no coughing. Could this be respiratory? How would you treat?

    Weak hen

    I would love to do that. I really think it would help her. Unfortunately, my husband is not being cooperative and said no chickens in the house. I'm trying tho to convince him.

    Weak hen

    Forgot to mention. Not egg bound, no mites, no lice, poop is a little off, but she's not eating much, so I figure that's why. And she does drink water.

    She is drinking sugar water. She did eat a tiny bit of egg last night. She has been pooping. The other day I had them in their run, all the hens were peaking in the mud and had muddy beaks. Her poop looks like dirt. I think she ate dirt, and it's kinda backing her up. I did give her some...

    Well, I soaked her foot again, dug a little, still don't see anything real obvious. So, I put neosporen on it, wrapped it and left it for two days. Just soaked it again, saw a little bit of what looked like pus. I'm gonna try a drawing agent. It's called Prids. See if that draws it to the...
