    Any ideas for stopping diarrhea?

    I have a RIR hen who has watery diarrhea badly. She's still eating and drinking, but I'm very concerned because she's getting weaker. Any ideas?

    HELP. Quandry over sick hen!

    I've posted before about my 3 year old Lucy. 3 days ago, she began not so much vomiting as spilling vomit out of her beak when she leans over. She also has the runny poops. I have picked her up, turned her over, and massaged her crop dry 3 times. The contents were green and liguidy. Still, she...

    HELP! My Lop-sided Lucy is vomiting!!!

    Lucy is a leghorn, about 3 years old. She's been having diarhea trouble for weeks. I've treated the flock for mites, lice. I've had them on a 7 day course of Terramycin. Lucy's the only one who's still having problems. When she started vomiting yellowish liquid this morning, I separated her from...

    Bugs are really bugging my poor chickens!

    We've placed fly strips inside the coop and that seems to help quite a bit, but when the birds are out in the pen, they just seem bothered by little insects of some sort. Would it be safe to sprinkle the floor of the outside pen with 7 dust? Maybe after the birds are in for the night?

    Changes in Comb Signify?

    One of my Rhode Island Reds, Curly Sue, has suddenly developed a droopy comb. What could this indicate? Other than that, she seems fine. The comb also looks a bit darker than usual. Should I be worried?

    Why the drop in egg production?

    I have 8 hens (barred rocks, leghorns, reds) who are just a bit over 2 years old. For the past 3 or 4 months, they've only been producing one or two eggs a day. I'm not concerned about getting eggs. I'm worried about their general health. They seem fine and happy. Any suggestions?

    ADVICE FOR PARALYZED HEN!

    Someone dumped off a most unfortunate hen last week. I've been trying to nurse her back to health--she was extremely malnourished and dehydrated. Although she is bouncing back quite nicely in most ways, she still can not move her toes AT ALL! It's as if they have died. I am aware that...
