    How long can a chicken go without eating?

    I've posted a few times about a sick hen (sorry!), and I'm at a loss as to what to do with her. She's been like a zombie for over a week - she won't eat or drink (drinks a little when I make her), has her feathers fluffed up and mostly just stands or sits ion the corner. I suspect it's mareks...

    broody and outcast - help!

    I thought I lost my bantam easter egger almost a month ago, and today I found her tucked into the goat barn behind a bale of hay on top of 15 eggs. I couldn't see anything by candeling, so I broke one - just a rotten egg. Same with 2 more I tried. My rooster was about 10 times her size, so I...

    While I was out of town, my girls started laying in a new place far away from the coop, and now one has been sitting on 14 of them for a week. I adopted a rooster a few months ago, but don't know if any "action" is going on. Now the temps have dropped to the 30s at night, and I'm worried about...

    Trying to get a hen through what I think is Coryza... She seems to just want to sleep. Any tips - should I force water or food? I've never done this before.

    help! runny eyes, rattled breathing, won't eat or drink

    I took in a stray rooster almost a week ago to add to my 4 hens (all almost one year old). Yesterday I noticed my favorite girl (an easter egger) had a runny eye - by night time it was white and foamy. Today no discharge, but she's clearly sick. No interest in food, can barely keep her eyes...

    I have 4 hens, 7 months old, that have always gotten along great. One is an easter egger bantam, and she stopped laying and has been sitting on the other's eggs for nearly a month I think.

    help! pullets with puffy eyes, losing feathers, pic attached

    My girls are 6 weeks old, and I recently noticed 2 of the 4 have puffy eyes, and seem to be missing feathers around the eye. They seem otherwise healthy and happy, and I don't see any mites. The other two seem fine. Should I be concerned? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
