    Easter Egger Not Laying

    Hi! I found your thread in hopes to figure out if the same thing is happening to my EE. She use to lay pretty consistently but now it is only weekly, if that. Has yours improved at all? I have 4 EE and 2 lay consistently and another one started to lay soft eggs, turns out she had an infection...

    Soft Shells

    Today has been almost the same as it has been. I did give her some Poultry Cell in the water and she drinks but still won't eat. She just stands in the same spot for 30 minutes and will move to a different spot and do the same thing. Her nose did seem moist but I'm not sure if it was from...

    Soft Shells

    There has been no improvement today. I used sterile saline and flushed her vent. Nothing. Her poop this morning was runny. Right now she is standing but closing her eyes.

    Soft Shells

    There hasn't been much improvement. There had been a few more soft shell eggs and the girls just eat them when seen. I'd been giving calcium citrate and hasn't helped either. I feel really bad, tonight she was in the nesting box and scratching everywhere. It seemed like she was uncomfortable. I...

    Soft Shells

    I have 2 Easter Eggers that have consistently laying soft shell eggs. They have been on the XL size too. I have free choice oyster shells and limestone near their feeder. I don't see any of my chickens pecking at the oyster shells almost ever. I've crushed a few calcium tablets and put it in...

    No solid poop

    I haven't noticed any fluid around her chest her belly. Just very skinny. Her crop at night is slightly filled but it feels mostly like water. She is very slow but moves around ok. She wants to eat and will run for food but obviously not getting much in.

    No solid poop

    Now that I'm really thinking back of when this all started, it was a few weeks to a month after we did a full week of fermenting our chicken feed.

    No solid poop

    Other things I've noticed the past few days are she has lost a lot of weight and if someone bumps into her she practically falls over. When she is eating she will pick at the food like she really wants it but doesn't actually eat a whole lot. She also frequently shakes her head.

    No solid poop

    Since the snow hit they have been in a run. They eat a feed called Gallo Pro. She hasn't been acting normal for a bit. She doesn't run to the food anymore and only drinks a little. She has lost a pound or two of recently. Her crop was full this morning and she didn't have any solid droppings...

    No solid poop

    My 5 year old brahma has been having some issues. She will have spurts when her droppings are not solid at all and it causes her to have dirty feathers. I have been told many things it could be: worms, sour crop, intestinal infection. I've tried a Fenbendazole for dewormer and nothing has...

    Mites! Everywhere!

    Thank you! Are you white washing with regular paint? Does the neem oil suffocate mites, is that what it's for?

    Mites! Everywhere!

    I had read about sulfur powder but have been skeptical to use it. Is there one that is better than the other?

    Mites! Everywhere!

    Initially I used staw for bedding and realized that could be the issue so that's gone. Wild birds do come into my yard and eat my chicken feed and drink from their waterer.
