She was given to me about two months ago, two weeks ago I moved her into the hen coop. I haven't seen her drink, yet.

Hello, I went to check my chickens this morning and one of my girls wasn't out of the house. She was huddled on the floor, her breathing is rapid and she has watery poop. She feels terrible. I have isolated her with food and water. Please give me any suggestions you have....her feces were...

I'm beginning to think she was egg bound. Her 'sister' from the same hatch has been laying for a few months and this hen hadn't started laying, I thought she was late to mature. I just don't know. Last year I had a hen go down and I was able to take her to a Davis Vet Lab about an hour...

Thank you for your response. I gave her some water in a syringe before I left for bible study. I just returned home and she has passed away. I'm so sad, she seemed to be fine yesterday. I just dont know what could happen so fast or what was I missing. Could worms kill a hen that quickly. I...

Please help. I went out to feed the chickens and one of my girls is very listless, pale comb, and won't stand. She seems to have an abnormal amount of feces around her vent area. She ate some scratch when placed right in front of her. I've isolated her, but haven't seen her drink water yet...

Thanks, ChickenCanoe. I will get new feed and move the container to the storage shed. I really appreciate your input. I womed the chickens last week with Wazine, Monday will be ten days to re-worm. What do you recommend for wormer. The feed guy gave me Wazine, but I have recently heard of...

Thank you so much for your reply I so appreciate it. I will try the daily soaks and the castor oil. I found a retired vet who works one day a week, I am taking two of my hens in on Thursday to see what he thinks. When we built our coop we used 1/4 inch wire on all sides, top and bottom...

Please help....these open sores began a few weeks ago, i sprayed with blu-coat and isolated the infected hen. She seemed to get better, but then two others showed the same wound. The purple color is from the blu-coat I sprayed on it (feed guy's recommendation). The original hen is listless and...

Thank you!!

Thanks so much for the input. Hopefully, chicken run will be done soon and I will post a pix!

We are building a 12 x 9 ft chicken run, hen house will be inside, off the ground approx 1 ft. We are laying 1/4 in hardware cloth on the bottom, as well as digging and placing a 12inch hardware cloth "wall" around perimeter of run for added security. Just trying to be super cautious. Big...
