    Generally unhealthy looking bird... WITH PICTURES!

    Alright, so now I'm even more confused. I got the poultry powder and headed out to my coop. Only to find that one of my chickens was missing, and all my girls were huddling together in the run. When I picked one up, I found the missing hen dead underneath them all. Could she have been...

    Generally unhealthy looking bird... WITH PICTURES!

    She did enjoy the bath. Nice warm water. I put her in and she relaxed right into it, just floated around. Then I wrapped her in a towel and she fell asleep. Put her back in the coop. She ate and drank, then went in to the nesting box and went to sleep. I'm nervous about her, but I'm going to...

    She's still eating and drinking (thank goodness) but if after the treatment she's still skinny I'll manually feed her. I'll post an update when there changes. Thank all of you for helping a newb out!

    Generally unhealthy looking bird... WITH PICTURES!

    She's not swollen or puffy though. She's actually really skinny. and I felt around for a lump under her vent but can't feel anything other than her bone there. She did perk up a little bit after her bath, when I put her back in the coop she ate, drank, and curled up in her nesting box (it is...

    it's LICE!! Thinking she may be egg bound (6 months old, pretty sure she's laying) I put her in a warm bath. When she was in the bath I pulled her feathers apart and the poor thing is CRAWLING in translucent little creepy crawlies. First thing tomorrow I'm off to the feed store to get some lice...

    Newbie. Never had a sick bird before, but this guy obviously isn't happy. 6 month old EE/Polish. Kinda lethargic, limping, tail is in rough shape, his eyes seem kinda squinted and red. Won't let me anywhere near him, always been shy though. Doesn't seem hungry either. I tried temping him with...

    Hen limping, no signs of trauma?!?

    One of my 6 month old EE/Polish crosses just started favoring her left leg about 5 days ago. I checked her all over and don't see any cuts or lumps or bumps or anything out of the ordinary. I figured she might have strained it or something, so I left it for a few days to see if it would get...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    My EE/Polish crosses first egg yesterday! Got another one today, slightly larger, slightly more pink. Not sure which girl is laying it yet. I found it right next to their food both days, not in either of the very comfortable nesting boxes I have provided them lol I have 6 of them, so I'm...

    Hello from Nova Scotia :]

    I am brand new to chickens, and so far I am quite enjoying it! I grew up in Toronto, where having backyard chickens is unheard of (and outlawed I do believe). I figured living out here in Nova Scotia might be a good chance to try. My fiance and I built a GIANT coop last weekend (in 35 degree...
