    Hen poops a lot and has lost weight.

    Thanks for your reply. When I say poops a lot. I am comparing her to my others and there is a mountain of it ... she sleeps in a nesting box, unfortunately, so, I know who the offender is.

    Hen poops a lot and has lost weight.

    Hi everyone, one of my frizzle hens does a massive amount of poop at night. She is always hungry. I picked her up today and can feel her breast bone. I suspect worms but not sure that is related to the massive pooping that happens. Any ideas?

    Sore eye

    Thanks for the information. I did go to the vet… I am his best customer!! She had a high fever, so she went on antibiotices and had a topical cream for the eye. The eye healed within a week.

    YOUNG FRIZZLE'S LEGS HAVE GONE STIFF :(

    Just an update on my chicken. The x-ray revealed a calcium deficiency in the leg.. a form of porosis, much like osteoporosis in humans. I kept her in a small cage and let her out to fossick a few times a day, but getting around was hard for her. I gave her concentrated vitamin and mineral...

    YOUNG FRIZZLE'S LEGS HAVE GONE STIFF :(

    Thanks everyone for your help. Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! I am going to the vet this afternoon to see what he says. Spoke with him this morning and he doesn't believe its Mareks. If it is, I believe I am in trouble as my entire flock will most likely contract it, as well as the...
