    Very sick girl

    My 3 year-old hen was fine Sunday, then began sitting alone with her feathers fluffed out Monday. I brought her into the house and noticed a lot of poop around her vent, so I bathed her and kept her in a crate over night. She was eating and drinking fine at that time. She has steadily declined...

    Difficult reintroduction

    Golden comet injured 3 weeks ago; could never determine how she injured her leg, but when I found her, it was dangling and she wouldn't use it at all. Removed her from the flock and kept her in a pen in the garage where the other girls couldn't see her. She has slowly recovered with only a...

    Food and water shortage

    Just returned home from a week long vacation and had my father-in-law taking care of my 7 mixed breed 5 week old chicks. He was supposed to be feeding and watering them, but I arrived home today to find the feeder empty and the water bone dry. I know my daughter was home 5 days ago and filled...

    Attacking weak pullet

    Corid and electrolytes together?

    I'm treating 9 week old chicks for cocci with Corid in their drinking water, but we've suddenly experienced a heat wave, and they're waning. Can I add some electrolytes to their water that's already treated with Corid? Really concerned about my girls...

    8 week old hen lying down all the time

    I'm new to chickens, and have 8 week old hens that I am thoroughly enjoying, but my golden sex-link lies down much of the time. I've checked her vent for cleanliness, and that doesn't appear to be an issue. She seems to be growing at the same rate as the others and looks healthy to my untrained...
