No bad feed and no poison. Thanks for your help, I will check out the website.

No new chickens, no visiting others. I have 12 chickens and only one is exhibiting the symptoms.

Hi There, Yesterday my barred rock of about 6 months old started a high pitched barking noise while she was eating. I assumed that she was just eating too fast because she was really shoveling it in, but today she is rather listless. Her breathing is rapid, she walks a few steps and then...

Thanks, I think chicken dinners will be on the menu for the next little while!

Hey All, I am getting a new brood(15) of chicks in about a month. I currently have 4 3 year old orpingtons who are lazy layers. Is it beneficial to keep the old gals around for the little ones or is the best place for them in the freezer? Thoughts?

Thanks so much for your help. We'll see how the next 24 hours go.

Okay flush complete, well it was more like vomiting complete. She turned her head and emptied about a 1/2 cup of brown liquid with some seeds in it. Her crop feels noticeably smaller, of course. It was pretty traumatic for both of us! Now I wait? Yogurt?

Crop still large and liquid filled this morning. No change, still just laying in cage.

Nothing toxic around. She was vaccinated as a chick when we bought her. Maybe a different strain? Could it possibly be worms?

She is not making any noise at all. She can walk, but seems a little off balance. She didn't drink water for the few hours we spent with her tonight. Her droppings look like the second pic of the "Abnormal Poo" Very watery and all or mostly white. I will feel her crop again in the morning...

I noticed the watery poo about 5 days ago, but she seemed okay. She hasn't layed for a few days. Her crop is about golfball size and very squishy as if full of liquid. The bone in the front is not sticking out, just the large crop. We also feed a pellet feed from the feedstore, and scratch...

Crop is large and watery

Breath sounds are normal, can't hear anything at all.

I have no idea how to check the crop. Can you kindly explain? They free range in my backyard mostly crabgrass, etc. I haven't ever wormed her, is that something I can get at the feedstore?

Hello All, I have a 2 year old Buff Orpington who is listless, clumsy, not eating and has runny white droppings. Also her comb is drooping and turning dark. We have not switched feeds or changed anything. She seems to be getting worse. Any help??

haha thanks, feathers on my neighbors lawn is funny for me, I don't know about them.....I guess I will just have to wait it out. Thanks for the great info.

Hello all, I have buff orpingtons who are 1.5 years old, they are molting for the first time and have not layed an egg in weeks. How long will I have to buy eggs from the store? blech...lol Also, what do you all do with all the feathers, my backyard is covered! Compost? Thanks!

Hello, My buff orpingtons have been doing great through our cold Utah winter, but now that the temp is up around 85 degrees they are only laying about half their usual amount. Is this just the heat or something else?? I am sorta new at this so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
