    HELP! Chicken with bloated abdomen

    My ten month old hen has a bloated, heavy and drooping abdomen. It is not watery, but it does seem like she’s uncomfortable to the touch. Hard to tell if it’s increasing in size. She is eating and drinking regularly, comb is red, still laying and still has her sassy, curious personality. Poop...

    Sour crop! Help!

    My 12 week old chicken just got over a month long of sour crop/crop problems. After a week with nystatin and a crop bra she was back to normal.

    Sour crop for 1 month.

    I’m running out of options. I had a vet prescribe me Albon over the phone in the early stages of this issue and did nothing (because that’s not what she needed) I have treated her with ACV, fresh garlic, probiotics, electeolytes, plain yogurt, olive oil and maggots when it felt impacted. I also...

    Medication question- sour crop

    A vet prescribed me Famciclovir after she saw my chicken who has sour crop. After my own research I asked a different vet for nystatin. Have only been giving nystatin, on day three without any huge improvement. Can I integrate the famciclovir in at the same time?

    Worms!?!

    my chicken has had crop issues for the past three weeks. Vet prescribed me Albon (not sure why) without seeing her. Her crop empties but not completely and hasn’t gone sour. I don’t think there is any sort of impaction. The only thing left I can think of is worms. I don’t know what to work her...

    How to teach my chickens to use waterer?!

    I made a contraption with the help of Pinterest to offer my chickens water at all time. It uses the little red cups with the yellow button type thing in the middle which will fill up the cup every time it is pressed. They just don’t get it, any suggestions on ways I can teach them?

    Extended crop, help!

    My 8 week old chicken has sour crop. Treated her for 5 days in her own area. The sour smell from her beak and throwing up chunks finally went away. It got miserable hot and I felt terrible keeping her away from her friends so I let her back in with them even though her crop was still a little...

    Make or female speckled Sussex?!

    I don’t know how some women go 9 months without knowing the gender of their babies, and I’ve waiting 6 long weeks and still have no idea. I ordered 6 speckled Sussex from Cackle Hatchery and one in paticular is more developed than the rest. Hoping she isn’t a rooster (we can’t have them where I...
