Thank you for your reply! I will definitely use this reply in the future! Unfortunately poor rocksy didn’t make it.. she did end up losing a lot of weight but she was a light chicken anyways so it happened very quickly.
I brought her inside and syringed egg yolk down her beak as well as water...
my hen has started acting lethargic and has a poopy butt. She drinks fine and will only eat if put near food but not much.
She will stand about and close her eyes and then do the same in a different location.
Her comb is dull and shrivelled up :/
her crop feels like what she’s consumed which is...
The anti inflammatory is called loxicom and I gave her about 6ml (I was to give my cockerel 8ml but nugget is smaller) and her feathers are not looking so good she’s got bald patches :( she’s acting normal now she’s just not laying at the moment but I don’t mind she’s been a good layer up to now...

I dust the mealworms with calcium powder that I use for my tortoise.
It could be injury from being jumped on by...
Just wondering if anyone who has experienced wobbly leg. Did you manage to fix the problem? My black laced Wyandotte cockerel has it and I’ve had him on antibiotics, anti inflammatory and calcium dusted mealworms for a week and he’s showing no improvement so far :/

Hi everyone! I'm currently doing a little research project on chicken breeds and whether their funny traits and characteristics are down to nature or nurture :)
