We got her to pass a collapsed egg five days ago. In addition to the bad butt stuff and lethargy, her comb is flopped over but still red, she cant...

    Lethargic Australorp (possible impacted crop?)

    My 14 month old Australorp hen (her name's Hero) has been low-energy for about a month. She was eating well, her droppings were healthy, and she was still laying, so I didn't think much of it. But the past two weeks she has spent most of her time laying down on the hay inside their run: her...

    Neighbor Woes

    Setting the scene: I live in SF with a small flock of 5 chickens and 2 ducks in a gorgeous little garden with fruit trees and a duck pond and plenty of space for the girls to scratch around.

    (cross - posted from sick bird post) Help! None of the pet stores in the Bay Area carry waterborne (to mix in) tetracyclene, or any other antibiotics. They said the gov't has cracked down on OTC antibiotics. The local avian hospital said they can give us oral antibiotics for all 5 birds, but...
