    My hen has a messy butt and is dangerously skinny!

    I had to euthanize Paprika "Pappi" today, she was just suffering. I never thought me and my family would develop such an attachment to chickens, but they really are our beloved pets. Now I know to take better care and take action right away when I spot a possible health concern.

    My hen has a messy butt and is dangerously skinny!

    Well my girl is still hanging in there, but barely. We have separated her from the flock so that we can take care of her. She is so skinny and so weak now and has a hard time walking. Its really sad to see her this way. We noticed she has also been making green poo, which sticks to her butt...

    My hen has a messy butt and is dangerously skinny!

    Yeah I feel awful that I let her get to this point. I should have been much more proactive in monitoring her health. I'll get some de-wormer today and hope you are right that it will perk her up. She's not even sleeping on the perch anymore with the others, she is too weak to jump up...

    Hi all, My gold wyandotte is very sick :( Lately its gotten worse and I'm not sure what to do. I'll start with how we got here; she was in perfect health and molted along with my other chickens in the Winter. Then one by one all the others started laying again, but she was the only one not...

    can pecking orders change when chickens start laying?

    We thought we knew who the leader was before they started laying. Once they matured the least likely candidate became the dominant one. Unfortunately for the youngest one, even though she lays now she still gets pecked at by all the others

    RIR's suddenly not laying daily anymore...why?

    Ok I just went out to clean their coop and noticed that Ginger (one of the reds) is missing a patch of feathers on her neck. They are all the same age, around 9 months, could it be that they are all starting to molt at the same time???

    RIR's suddenly not laying daily anymore...why?

    Hi everyone! I've used this site for lots of great information but had not officially joined. This is my first post and I'm hoping the community can provide some answers with a bit of a problem we have. My 3 RIR's started laying about 4 months ago, and since then each were regularly laying...
