So after having read and reread I came upon an older post via google from a BYC member. Since I have been trying other stuff for her sour crop I am going to try the H-6-3 pills. To get a $5.00 bottle online they charge $6.00 up for shipping. I turns out that this H-6-3 stuff's generic name is...
I am at a loss. Lost the my other hen while trying to treat her sour crop. She got weak and didn't eat or drink for 5 days except for a little yogurt, fish oil, and water to thin (it by syringe). This morning I gave 1/3 Monistat 3 cap and I have some grit only in her rehab cage. Q- should I be...
I am posting this here as Connie has gone from bad to worse. After having read through numerous post & links, I feel Connie & I may be losing the battle. About 5 days ago we noticed her in activity and found she had a squishy crop. I followed the advice of ACV in water, yogurt, olive oil, and...
SO it has been since early November that Red has been recovering from a bad break. For the last 3 weeks we have her in a smaller caged area were she can visit with others and get some sunshine. Problem is, her and the Auricona run charge at the fence and try to get at each other. When we let her...
This is my R. R. that is still in rehab from broken leg ( just before Thanksgiving). Her red color comb, face, and around eyes have turned pale pink and she has lost her appetite once again. I don't know if she is depressed again or what. Any ideas? Thanks

I am re posting this form yesterday as I have searched and am answering the questions at the top of the sticky thread by administrator;
1- She is a Barred Rock apx 4 yrs old
2-She is opening her mouth acting like she is trying to get air and is making wheezing sounds, when she clucks it is...
Just noticed her this morning and the comb this afternoon.Her voice is raspy, her comb has been picked bloody, she almost passed out when we brought her in to Dr. her. She is in basement with my R.R. and her broken leg. Have them in same dog inclosure but have them separated where they can hear...
So some of you may recall my RR that had broken leg. It has been 2 months now and she is still hopping on the one foot. We had removed the splint about 10 days ago. It was suggested to use Q-tips to reinforce the leg for support after the swelling had gone down. She has been getting aspirin in...
This is related to my hens broken leg as of a month ago. We just took the splint off about 4 days ago. Her upper leg section where the splint was is puffy/swollen but is a good color. The whole time she has been getting around on the one foot and holding the broken close to her side and tucked...

She is a 3 yr old R. R. Found her hanging by her foot yesterday morning. Don't know how long she was like that. Her hind claw has caught on the chicken wire, think something spooked her. Took her inside to examine.. She can't stand and her leg is limber from the knee bone down to foot. No bones...
So I said that to get your attention. I posted something about a week ago under an existing post but haven't gotten feedback.I have a barred rock going on her third winter. At first I thought this was just a hard molt(may be) but noticed that when she wanted to walk forward she went back until...
Actually they are not yet smokin just breathing it. For the past three plus weeks we have been socked in with hazard breathing conditions. I have keep my other animals in but what to do about my girls? Not only are they not laying, I am guessing stress, but I have heard of other chickens falling...
A week ago I found one of my 2 yrs old R.R. in the bottom of coop dead. No apparent injuries. She was fine 2 hrs earlier when she was let out in the yard. She was stiff, still warm, but her neck was floppy, and her head was ice cold. I ran to the Ag supply to get some Wazine just in case, had...
One of my Buff Or has been acting aggressive and defensive for about a week now. She fluffs up her neck and tail feathers with her head down when approached by the others. She also does this in the coop while sitting, her tail end up in the air. The last few days I have noticed that she is in a...
"( Tuesday neighbors dog got a hold of my 1yr old BR. Tail and butt feathers all gone. Skin and bite wounds surrounding her vent 5" in circumference. I cleaned her up at the good advice of some good BYC members. Cleaned with hydrogen peroxide , treated with neosphorine, and giving her yogurt ...
OK- I got a few welcomes as well as some answers but I am not sure if I posted it in the right place, so here goes.
