    Where do you find Corid?

    I dont know what's wrong with her. I tried googling just what her poo looks like and one possibly was severe Coccidiosis. Og course there was also results that suggested cancer and infection. All I know is I cant keep her in the bathroom forever. But I don't want to put her back in the coop...

    Everywhere. I had no idea that the stuff for COWS was what I wanted.

    Where do you find Corid?

    I don't know for certain what's going on with my hen. I was sure it was a broken, soft shelled, egg. But she's still not eating. She seems to feel a bit better, but she's had 1 bite of egg and 1/4 of a grape since FRIDAY. Thread 'Possible internal broken egg? Ideas for treatment.'...

    Possible internal broken egg? Ideas for treatment.

    Thank you. Once I get her to eat and i can tell her its better, I'll put her out in our "broody prison" attached to the coop where everyone can see each other. She's only been away one day.

    Possible internal broken egg? Ideas for treatment.

    Thanks again. She is more herself today, and actively resisted being picked up, which is far more her norm. She appears to be drinking the nutri-drench a bit and is pooping. Not sure what it should look like, considering she hasnt eaten since Thursday, but I'm just glad to see anything. Again...

    Possible internal broken egg? Ideas for treatment.

    She's in my house, in a crate, so she's warm and fine there. She's nearly 4 years old. She'd basically stopped laying for winter about Thanksgiving. Then gave us 4 to 6 eggs in early January and stopped again. We've noticed all our eggs are fairly thin shelled from all our hens which is odd...

    Possible internal broken egg? Ideas for treatment.

    So my hen isn't eating and I don't think drinking for a day or two. I went ahead and caught her and brought her in the house today, gave her a soak and washed her very yellow crusted bottom. I believe this is soft egg shell, maybe? I'm not sure what to do to treat her. Since she's not eating...

    Suddenly lethargic hen, not eating, just looks bad

    For tonight I caught her just at dark and did put her away from the others in our "broody hen pen". While she wasn't happy about being caught, she definitely didn't fuss about it the way she normally would. I gently felt her lower abdomen and it didn't seem firm or swollen at all. I gave her...

    Suddenly lethargic hen, not eating, just looks bad

    My hen is nearly 4 and seemed fine yesterday. Today I went to check on them and toss some cornbread as a treat, and she wouldn't touch it. She loved it yesterday. I caught her (unusual in itself) and her crop was not protruding, I could feel her breast bone, and when I went to feel her vent...

    Need advice on frostbite and nipple waterers.

    I'm about an hour north Springfield and an hour east of Kansas.

    Need advice on frostbite and nipple waterers.

    Is there anything I can do for him right now? I had someone tell me to use a crock pot instead, so the water would be actually warm, but wet is wet, right? I could go buy a different waterer, one like this...would he be less likely to get wet with it?

    Need advice on frostbite and nipple waterers.

    Need advice on frostbite and nipple waterers. How hard or easy is it to get the chickens to change to them? My poor new boy has frostbite. I think he had a tiny bit when we got him a few days ago, but it's gotten much worse. I've always used a heated dog bowl in winter, but my girls don't have...

    Plan needed for integrating grown rooster and new chicks with older hens

    Interesting thought... she's tried to give me a few before, but I wasn't interested because I already had 7 and was getting like 5 eggs a day and didn't want more. She had more turn out to be roos than she expected. I'm not sure how many hens she has now.

    Plan needed for integrating grown rooster and new chicks with older hens

    This is a little complex, but I'll try to make sense. I had 7 hens, 3 about age 2 1/2 and 4 about a year younger. This Thanksgiving, sadly, something got in the run and killed two of my older hens and one of the young ones. The survivors are doing well and get along. I plan on getting 4...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I think she's moulting... at least her tail is getting awfully bare. It's hard to tell really, what's falling out and what's been pulled out. Fingers crossed. She's also stopped laying, but that's worrisome, a she's standing like a penguin again... but that started today, so maybe it's from...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Hey all. I'm never catching up. Meanie is now regularly laying on the darn floor. As head hen she's failing miserably in teaching the Red Squad good laying manners. I added some depth to their boxes today, maybe that'll help. Honestly, 4 boxes for 3 laying hens and Eenie is the only one polite...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    In 2020, I spent 10 days in the hospital, 6 in ICU, respiratory and renal failure. Yeah...WAY worse than the flu. Missed 7 weeks of work and wasn't back to normal for nearly a year. The one thing that didn't happen was loss of taste and smell. But now, chickens. I've missed soooo much. You...

    Gosh, I'd think that would sting! She gets pretty raw there, poor thing.
