    My dear house Chicken finished antibiotics but has gotten worse.Stopped eating. HELP :(

    Sorry for such a late response. She is on her 5th day at the vet. She was diagnosed with severe dehydration. I'm assuming it is because we couldn't get her to eat anything so she didn't have any electrolytes. We didn't have any pedialyte or anything avail, so we tried apple juice but she would...

    My dear house Chicken finished antibiotics but has gotten worse.Stopped eating. HELP :(

    Thank you both for your comments. She certainly doesn't feel like she had a compacted crop, it feels empty like a pingpong ball compared to her normal tennis ball sized full crop. Probiotics is a good idea, I was going to get yogurt today, but couldn't find any plain. I'll try again tomorrow...

    My dear house Chicken finished antibiotics but has gotten worse.Stopped eating. HELP :(

She does still get her time outside too. So recently she was acting weird and having watery yellow poops, which I'm assuming was...

    Thank you all for your responses. It makes me feel a little better that there ARE good people and that I'm not alone. I guess I didn't realize that this post was against the rules..? I was in such a hurry and need for an emotional outreach, I had no where else to go. :(

    Please, fellow chicken people, hear me out and don't blow me off as a "crazy PETA person". I love animals, I eat them too. I love a good steak/chicken/ribs. I know the awful things that go on for food industry animals.... but never knew as much as I found out last night. I am an owner of 4...

    Internally Laying?? UPDATE: Death by Rubber Egg ***Graphic Pics***

    I am so so sorry for your loss. That is the strangest thing I've ever seen! Poor poooor hen. Also glad to know that I'm not the only one that has cut into a dead chicken to find out what was wrong, but it sure is sad when you DO find what was wrong.... It makes it a lot more emotional for me...

    Internally Laying?? UPDATE: Death by Rubber Egg ***Graphic Pics***

    I thought the chalky yellow poo from mine was yolk, but the vet told me it was actually bile ...from not eating much.

    Took My house chicken to the beach with us. She Loved it!

    She doesn't use a box or wear a diaper. But there is a liner where she sleeps. And her poops are very small and solid as long as she eats regularly. So she's just like cleaning up over any other bird. It hasn't become an issue, but later in her life when she's a little larger, we may do the...

    House Chickens?

    Oh yikes, I didn't realize you still needed to ask mom. I'm sure my mom would tell me NO! But now that I am in my own house, I do what I want. BUT, I would definitely reccomend you get a bantam breed for the house, not large chickens. I think Mom would be a little more easy to convince with...
