    Chicken with large bloody infection under vent and swollen abdomen

    She’s been less active for a while but I just noticed this area below her vent, its bloody and looks like an infection that ate away at some of her skin (it looks like fly strike but without the flies). Her abdomen also feels very swollen like a water balloon so I think she has ascites...

    Chicken’s feet are swollen

    Her feet have been like this for about a month now and im not sure what’s wrong. She can’t walk well as they seem sore and sensitive. I checked for bumble foot but I see no sign of that or any cuts or wounds. And other than her feet she seems healthy and is eating but she’s some lost weight in...

    Split beak

    That’s similar to something that happened to one of my roosters once. I used topical antibiotic on it a few times daily until it was mostly healed up. Also soft food may be helpful if she has a hard time with her normal food.

    Very bad sour crop!

    I have a chicken with a sour crop that will not empty. I’ve given her oils, yogurt, Acv and massaged her crop many times over the last few days and nothing seems to work, her crop is always a full water balloon and she’s getting more and more lethargic each day. I’ve had this hen since I was in...

    Sour/impacted crop help

    One of my hens, a overall healthy 9 year old hen was acting strange a few days ago but the next day she seemed fine, I’m guessing at that point she just had a slowish crop. 2 days ago I noticed the hen acting much more lethargic so I checked her crop and it felt like a full water balloon and her...

    I drained her about an hour ago and got 48ml of yellowascites liquid. She is feeling better now and is walking and eating black berries from a bush in my yard. Her belly is still draining (I used the 20gadge needle). Can I do it again a couple of hours after this first time or should I wait...

    Ascities

    My hen has a really full belly. It didn't used to be this bad it took almost a year to fill up so much. She had bad fly strike but I removed the maggots and cleaned the area with iodine and antibiotic ointment. She is pooping and she still eats and drinks but she stand like a penguin. Can I...

    What is your favorite dust bath mixture?

    I use dirt in my yard that's really dry and dusty and DE. (My chickens usually make dust bathing spots by themselfs though.)

    Review by 'Hens rule' on item 'Orpington'

    I have 4 Buff Orpington hens who are such great birds. Most of my Buff orpingtons like to be held and will fly on my shoulder even when I'm standing. They are almost 6 years old and still lay eggs like 1 time a week. (Chickens don't stop laying at any age) They are loveable pet hens and do good...
