    Pushing neck down/backing up behavior

    Hi there. This behavior where she backs up while pushing her neck and head down, often while circling her food ...why does she do this? Is this normal? I don't recall her doing this until the last week or two.

    Hi all! My first run has been a headache and its time for a redo. I am looking to build a 10*12 with wood, hardware cloth and a covered roof. I want a slanted roof that can withstand the weight of a potential few inches of snow/ice as well as large beaches that might fall. NO MORE TARP on the...

    3.5 yr old hen not eating normal food

    My 3.5 year old stopped eating her food two days ago. She will eat treats, but only treats. No other symptoms. There is a possibility she may have a tumor, but vet wasn't sure, which was brought up before she had crop surgery about two months ago. Her closest flockmate is currently indoors, as...

    Do you treat a slow crop from a hard molt?

    One of my hens has been going through a really hard molt and her crop is definitely slowed and not empty in the morning. Do I treat this as an impacted crop or do I just leave it be?

    When to return to flock post crop surgery?

    My hen had crop surgery nine days ago. Her crop is a bit slow, but is emptying. I think some of the slowness is that she's finishing a molt. The last two days, I allowed her some outdoor time so she could dirt bath, have some fresh air and see her flock mates. Today she's eating bugs outside but...

    Otc equivalent to Meloxicam?

    My hen had crop surgery and was doing well until she ran out of Meloxicam. Have been desperately trying to get the vet to fill it all day today but they won't send it for a few days, which makes it pretty pointless. She stopped eating once the meds ran out so she's gone about 30 hours without...

    Bullying after losing a member of the flock

    One of my hens passed away recently and her closest friend did a lot of calling out for her and was clearly anxious. She did not get to see the body, which I believe was a big mistake on my part. Then, another of my hens has been sicka and had crop surgery so is away from the flock. Between both...

    What kind of Tums are safe for hens?

    I have peppermint flavored and fruit I read peppermint could be toxic but seems to be the standard Tums flavor. Vet said to get "original" or "plain" but I haven't seen that at Kroger or Walgreens.

    Hi there, You are all so kind and helpful, so thank you in advance. I recently posted about a hen, about 3.5 years old, who was a doughy crop issue that was persistent.
