    Hen not eating or drinking or able to walk well

    Well, she just passed in my arms. I have no idea what was wrong with her. I'm hoping whatever it was my other hens don't get it.

    Hen not eating or drinking or able to walk well

    i give mine mealworms and supplements from June till about Jan. I've been raising hens for 17 years and have never had any issues with my hens when they molt. This hen is about 6 years old. She is not molting at this time as far as I can tell.

I have her in the house now. I was able to get her to stand for a minute before she sat down again. She seems stiff almost...

    Sick hen, Drinking lots of water, runny poop, lethargic. Any advise?

    no formal necropsy, I did have a local chicken guru friend take a look at her after she passed and he said it looked like a or tumor or an egg that went back the wrong way, it was small not like a normal looking egg. But there was really noting I could have done. Thank you all!

    Sick hen, Drinking lots of water, runny poop, lethargic. Any advise?

    Despite our best efforts my poor girl passed away this morning. I started to bring her in the house at night a few days ago and kept her in the laundry room. She was eating good and seemed to perk up but it all must have been too much for her in the end. This one had me stumped. She never...

    Sick hen, Drinking lots of water, runny poop, lethargic. Any advise?

    I currently have a Barred Rock hen that is about 4 years old. She's been acting similar to egg bound with the waddling, tail down and puffed up for the last few days. It's hard to tell if she was laying last year but I'm guessing she did but maybe not every day. She is also drinking a ton and...

We once had 2 black Langshan hens that lived for over 12 years. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? We have...

    18 week old pullet sick, clear watery poop, lethargic, day 2. Any advise please!

    Her crop was soft and mostly empty, that was the first thing I checked having had several hens with impacted crops over the years. This was so sudden and not like anything I've seen. I've disinfected the water, and dusted the coop with diatomaceous earth just to be on the safe side.

    Can a chicken survive a stroke or heart attack?

    Well, my big girl proved us all wrong! She has rejoined her sisters, they rallied around her and she walked on her own back to the coop. Her strength improved with every passing day, she is no longer loosing her balance when she walks although she sometimes will tip over if she bends her neck to...
