    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Oh no, sorry that she had Mareks disease. Do you still have a copy of the necropsy report that you can share here?

    regrowing feathers? How?

    How old is Rosie? Usually chickens molt at around 18 months old and then every 12 months thereafter. Once they lose a bunch of feathers from overmating, it can take until the next yearly molt for feathers to grow back in. A hen saddle/apron can sometimes help. Watch for feather picking as well...

    Crying hen with yellow mucous stool

    I would separate the crying hen inside a dog crate on some puppy pads, food and water for a day or so. Clean her up and get a picture of her vent area if possible. Could the yellow liquid be egg yolk? Is she straining? Do you know if she has been laying? I would probably give her a human calcium...

    My Roos crop

    Does his crop ever seem to feel empty first thing in the morning before he eats or drinks? What are you feeding him including any extras or treats? Do you provide poultry granite grit for him to take as needed? Here is some reading about impacted, sour, and pendulous crop...

    Ancona

    It could be feather shafts and dander since she probably has not been dust bathing and grooming. Have you had her outside with the others some with supervised visits? That might keep her interested in life. But she does seem to be failing. Liver issues are common with reproductive disorders...

    Vitamin Deficiency - 28 week old hen

    The b complex or super b complex has a lot of b2 riboflavin, so it would be good. Poultry Cell dosage is 1 ml for every 3 pounds of weight, so she may need 2 ml daily. Discontinue the PC when you start B complex, and it can be crushed into food or water, and dosage is 1/4-1/2 tablet daily. It is...

    Scabs on beaks growing over nostril

    Those scabs can sometimes be a result of injury to the beak from a sharp feeder or sticking/rubbing their beaks through chicken wire or other wire fencing. But I would rule out pecking and even fowl pox scabs.

    Greyish/pink comb and waddle

    Does she lay eggs? Have you seen any soft or shell-less eggs. Do you have any pictures of her? How do the others treat her? What is the name of the worm medicine?

    Swollen foot/leg no sore

    Do you have any pictures of the swelling? It would have been nice to have xrayed the foot, since swelling and not being able to put weight on it sound like a bad sprain or fracture. Those can take weeks to heal. Is he eating and drinking well? I don’t think the garlic or acv is really necessary...

    Help

    Did you take any pictures of the worms in her poop or her vent before treating her? Any pictures now? Has she laid any eggs recently? I usually keep hens with their flock while treating them to keep from having to reintroduce them. I would keep having supervised visits, and maybe keep her in a...

    Ancona

    Had she been laying eggs with hard shells regularly before she started molting? Can you look her over for mites or lice on her skin? Is she eating? Her poop is pretty green which is a sign of not eating enough. I would offer her 2 ml of Poultry NutriDrench daily, and give her some mushy wet...

    Wobbly sick polish chicken

    Polish can be low in pecking order and mine were sometimes bullied or pecked on their heads. I would feed her separately for awhile to make sure that she is getting enough. Wet chicken feed and scrambled egg bits or tuna, and some probiotic yogurt are all good. Watch to see if they are chasing...

    Swelling above eye

    It could be an insect bite or a peck wound. Does it feel like it contains pus inside or is it hard?

    Injured chicken please help!

    It would be good to get an xray to see if a bone is fractured, but that is not always possible. Do you see any swelling of the leg joints, swelling or green bruising? A chicken sling may be useful if she will tolerate one, for periods throughout the day. Food and water can be placed within...

    Is this a Deformed Leg, Slipped Tendon, or something else?? Need help!

    Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately leg and foot issues can be hard to identify. Many leg problems can be caused by incubation problems. I usually recommend to start some B complex or B2 riboflavin right away. Not all chick vitamins have that but Poultry Cell does.

    EMERGENCY!!! DOG BITE WOUND TO CHICKEN

    I am glad that she is eating better. I had to offer feed and egg, tuna and vitamins twice a day up to her beak for about 5 weeks to a hen who could not get to her food or water. Then she suddenly could get around on her own. Are you keeping the wound moist with the antibiotic ointment. You could...

    Fowl pox lesion on beak or something else?

    I agree that it looks like an injury. Betadine or the generic less expensive Equate First Aid Antiseptic at Walmart for $6-7 is a good treatment.

    Help! Crop trouble!

    I would not make a hen vomit. It can lead to aspiration of crop contents.

    I have a white leghorn that has an internal egg.

    Chickens cannot be egg bound for several weeks. It may be a lash egg that you are feeling. A y times we don’t know what is actually going on until a necropsy can be done after we lose one.
