Graphic photo warning. I found my Margaret today. She had passed and was long gone. She was my head chicken, black austalorp about 2 ½ years old. I noticed last night that her comb had flopped over but the color hadn't changed. Also last night Norma was acting bossier than normal (Norma's a...

We put her down today. We will miss you Lulu! Here is how we will remember her. Thanks for all of your support and advice. Keeping chickens is so rewarding but can also be so hard. It's great to have such a wonderful community to turn to and to share with. :hit

Today she is noticably different. She barely moved from her spot and didn't join the girls in the yard. She is so tired and keeps closing her eyes and resting as she tries to eat. Her comb definitely has more color though, so it is confusing overall. She needed me to serve her food on a...

Her poop. Any observations?

She is only one and a half, poor little girl.

Yes we did a full round of fenbendazole.

Here she is eating her dinner tonight.

So we are still at it. We are now feeding her live meal worms and organic wet cat food. She eats - literally two days ago she ate 40 live worms and the entire container of cat food. Her feathers are growing back in...did I mention this all started in the spring when she molted and never...

I have read on other posts that I should wait ten days after the fenbendazole to start the Valbazen. Do you know if that is correct?

Seriously chickens, get your crap together ;-) We still haven't decided on the Valbazen yet. Buuuut, we saw on very watery yellow weird looking poo, so just in case we are now treating for cocci. Figured it couldn't hurt. I am unsure of Lulus progress, but she hasn't gotten any worse! We...

We finished three days of fenbendazole yesterday. Lulu seems to be better, but I think it is too early to tell for the wormer? She certainly isn't 100% or even close, but she is walking around instead of hiding in the corner and is hanging out with her girls. I have been special feeding her...

We did the Rooster Booster for a week and did not see any improvement. Yesterday we started a round of fenbendazole. Hopefully it will do the trick and we will start to see her get better. Thank you for checking in!

I just went and got me some Rooster Booster wormer, hopefully it will do the trick. Thanks!

No we talked to a local chicken lady here that told us that we would be able to tell in their poop if they needed wormed. :-/. I've thought about it.

I have a year and a half year old hen that since Spring just hasn't been right. She lost all of the color in her comb, stopped laying eggs, started always looking disheveled and fell from top hen to the bottom of the pecking order. At first I thought she was just molting, give her time. Well...

We brought her in last night as she wasn't eating and we needed to keep a closer eye on her. When we got her up this morning she was unable to even lift her little head up. So around noon we culled her. She was our first loss and we are heartbroken, but we know we did the right thing. RIP...

Not much change in her balance today. Last night we were shocked to find her perched on her roost, which is like three feet off the ground. She laid another egg today and was a bit prolapsed for about a half hour afterwards, but she sucked it back in on her own. Got some poly v sol and gave...

We feed Scratch and Peck, which I know is part of the problem because she picks out the pieces she wants to eat and leaves the rest. I doubt she was vaccinated for Mereks, I know that her symptoms make it a possibility, its kind of a common symptom in a sick chicken. Thanks for the advice on...
