Thank you so much for the link. I also just lost my senior Barred Rock today. Not a great week.

I had a hen do something similar. She needed to us here wings for balance. Kind of looked drunk, lethargic. She would eat but when I felt under her, the keel was very prominent. Turned out she had crop impaction and wasn't getting enough nutrients. Vet had to do a minor procedure on her...

Ivermectin. Ok, thanks. I will do that tomorrow. I think they got it from the sparrows that always seem to find a way into the coop

Vet found lice on my chicken. Treated it and I'm treating the others. Just wondering how I should disinfect the environment. I have soaked pine pellets ( like sawdust) on the concrete floor and a wooden coop with pine shavings.

When mine had shavings in her crop she was near death. My vet made and incision in her crop and removed so much debris. It was the only way to save her.

Thank you. It was as big as a large water balloon. Do they get that big?

My hen had crop surgery and it worked really well. Unfortunately, we are dealing with it again. The surgery was pretty minimal. There was just a small incision in the crop and the contents were removed and it was flushed out. She recovered very nicely. I hand fed her softened pellets for a...

My 4yo Barred Rock hen had a impacted crop 7 months ago from swallowing shavings. She had surgery to empty it and shavings and kale were found inside. Her crop was huge. Today, I noticed her crop was really enlarged and when I went to pick her up, just slight pressure caused all this water to...

Thanks! That would be great. I have chain link so nothing to staple to.

Do you attach with zip ties?

Thanks you. Yes, I plan on getting some hardware cloth. I appreciate the link. She was my favorite. Isn't that always the way?

I posted about my Polish being found dead with puncture wounds to her head and a few feathers pulled out behind her. I assumed a raven that had been hanging out attacked her through chicken wire over chain link while she was roosting. i happened to mention this to a lady who does chicken rescue...

Oh my! So sorry.

Thank you. What kind of netting would be good? I mentioned to my husband for us to get a little cam last night. I appreciate the recommendation to Walmart. Her sisters were all around her when I found her, nudging her to try to get her to get up.

Just check and the chicken wire is .59 inches ( 1.5cm) so too big

I lost my beautiful candy corn Polish to a predator through chain link, covered top, concrete floor and chicken wire over the chain link. I got her from a breeder who does not have any. She dna tested so I knew I got a female. Does anyone know any breeders in Southern CA? If not, is there a way...

I had a year-old Polish Chicken who was killed yesterday through a dog run that is covered in chain link that is also covered in chicken wire and a cement floor. Found her on the ground by the side of her roost against the side of the coop. Head had multiple injuries and a few bloody feathers...

My chicken's crop was blocked and she just had surgery to remove the matter inside. There were a lot of pine shavings which I have used for the substrate. The coop is on concrete so I wanted something soft but cant use this anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was told pine pellets...

Mine got kicked by a horse and fractured her femur. It was brought to the vet to be put down but the vet thought she could save it. She put a pin in it and then gave her to me. The original owner also gave me her sister for a companion. I have had her for a year and she walks with a limp but...
