    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    Oh - I see where you got the idea that she was about 3 months old - I said that I've had them about 3 months, but they were 7-8 months old when I got them... I think she was about 10-11 months old. The lady I bought them from said she ordered them from a hatchery when they were day-old chicks...

    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    Well, she didn't make it. I did manage to weigh her - she had dropped to about 4.5 pounds (she was a full grown brahma hen, so she should have wieghed 8-9 pounds). I dusted her early today, and found that she was infested with lice when I checked her again later (the dead lice were clearly...

    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    Hi - I don't have a way to weight her yet. If I assume she weighs 4 kg, it looks like (from your 0.5cc/kg) that I should give her 2 cc of the SafeGuard dewormer (100 mg/mL suspension). Is this correct? She's still doing about the same - hanging in there, looking around some - mostly sleeping...

    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    Thank you all for your helpful advice and support. She seems better this morning - sitting in normal nesting posture instead of lying on her side. I am giving her water with a little apple cider vinegar regularly (she doesn't drink on her own) and have dipped her beak in some tasty yogurt a few...

    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    They are not free range (my own dogs make that impossible), so it couldn't be anything like the mushrooms. Their pen is fairly large, but they have removed all grass from the ground. We have sandy soil, so I have not been giving them any additional grit - maybe that's a mistake. I feed them a...

    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    Oh - forgot to mention - her stance is with her tail down. She's not losing feathers. She doesn't run away when I go to handle her, but she does walk away a few steps after I do.

    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    Hi - I am new here & new with chickens. I've had my chickens (light brahmas) for ~3 mo - never wormed or de-loused. All seem fine but this one, except for somewhat poopy vents ( I read this is common with light-colored fluffy breeds, which they are) & poops on the ground look fine. I don't see...

    White Bantam Langshan HEN!

    Yes - I posted in another section (what sex / breed are these) a couple of days ago, and the consensus was that they are 4 mixed breed roosters - some cochin & probably some silkie & who knows what else. Two of them have yellow legs, one has yellow-pink legs, and one has slate-blue legs... a...

    What sex and breed are these?

    Hi. I recently got 4 white bantam chickens at a local auction. I think they might be cochins or (maybe) langshans - or some cross with one of those. My main question is - are they hens or roos? Two of them have spiked combs - shown in the first pic (the one in the rear - its comb flops over to...

    White Bantam Langshan HEN!

    Hi. I took some pictures - here are a couple of them (hoping they show up - my first time to include pictures). I'm looking at them now and thinking that perhaps they are bantam cochins instead of langhans - mainly because of the combs, and they've started getting a lot heavier feathering around...

    White Bantam Langshan HEN!

    Hi. I was wondering if you ever found the white bantam langshan hen(s) you were looking for. I was wanting to see pictures of them if you did. If not, I'd like to see pictures of your 2 roosters ... if you don't mind. I have 4 white bantam langshans - I think ... I got them at an auction &...
