    Losing weight, diarrhea, just laying around... what's wrong with her!?

    Thanks! I thought about the heat (the day before yesterday was the hottest day we've had so far), so I'm doing all I can to cool her down. What can I do about mites, if she has them?

    Losing weight, diarrhea, just laying around... what's wrong with her!?

    My 2 1/2 year old Buff Orp is really sick!! She's losing weight, has diarrhea (all over her bum, ew), and she's just laying around. I had to literally force-feed her this morning. Anybody know what this is?? Is there a cure? WILL MY OTHER CHICKENS GET IT? All insights are appreciated!

    Help! I've got egg eaters!!

    I have a very small flock - 8 hens. I just got the last 2 a few days ago. The first 6 had eaten eggs before, but they haven't laid in a while (they're 2 years old), and I JUST got 2 more and already the old chickies have taught them to eat their eggs! :'( How do I fix this?? Please help!!

    Little wet hens...

    Okay, thanks! I don't have *that* much space, or I would expand. I have 8 hens in a run about 10'x5'. The inside of my coop does stay dry, they just don't want to go in there unless they are sleeping/laying. Thanks for your help! I'm going to try that. I like the wood chip idea! I think I'll...

    Little wet hens...

    I was wondering if y'all could give me a little advice. It's been raining like CRAZY down here in the South for the past couple of weeks. My little hens are in a coop (not free ranging), and I'm wondering what I can do for them. I lay down as much hay/bedding on the mud (coughswamplandcough)...

    New pictures of my girls!!!

    I took some pictures of two of my girls yesterday. These are the only two who are laying - the other six need to catch up soon! Clara, one of my Buff Orps - a.k.a 'Little Miss Attitude'. And here's Kelli, my Ameraucana. Her eggs are bright green! That's all I've got for now.
