Well she is not doing well. She won't eat or drink and is loosing feathers it looks like. I have her vitamins last night but wasn't able to baby her as much with my work schedule. Today she seems exhausted and didn't even try to eat. I think she may be dying.
She is eating, drinking, and pooping. However, she still won't get up and walk. She is still resting in the bathroom. Any ideas on getting her to move. I'm sure it's not good to be still for three days.
She are and drunk some overnight. She still put up a fight when I gave her water through a dropper. However, when I lay her down she doesn't pull her feet up under her. She won't even roll over. I've brought her in the house and put her in the dark to make her sleep. Any other advice. I'm...
I just gave her some more water in a dropper and she put up MUCh more of a fight. When I sat her down in the grass a rooster immediately ran over and mounted her. I pushed him off. At least she's getting some energy back.
She ate a small bowl if applesauce and a little yogurt since I gave her water. She just lays down if I put her in the grass. Her foot doesn't look hurt but she seems to keep one foot curled up. She still is making her normal noises so maybe she just wants time away from the flock.
We don't have any vets in the area. The one an hour away doesn't see chickens. I dissolved some baby aspirin in water and feed her a couple of droppers full. She's nibbling on the apple sauce some. I have looked her over well and can't feel anything odd or visible hurt. I think a rooster...
She hasn't ate much since this morning. She's not walking around, just laying. She still has water in her shallow bowl so she doesn't seem to be drinking either. I'm afraid she may be very hurt or sick. Suggestions?
My pullet is still several weeks away from laying. She is hiding in the coop and won't come out with her friends. She is hiding under a board and crawls instead of walking. She will eat. I've given her scrambled eggs and applesauce and she's ate some of both. When I get near her she stays...
Hi guys I'm Jessica. I live in eastern North Carolina. I have Orphs, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Barred Rock and a few to young to tell . My hubby says I'm quickly becoming addicted to my chickens. I am completely free range and only put my boys and girls up at dark in a fenced in area.

This guy needs a home. I have too many roosters. They have been around dogs, chicks, and is a sweet bird. Thanks. Located in Beaufort County.
Thank you all for your help. I am going to work on a roost this evening when I cools down some. I have rows of pine trees so I'm going to go look for large limbs to use. :)
Will my 14 week chickens learn to roost at night or not? I had them a large metal pole about 2 feet off the ground but they never use it. Is it bc it's metal?
My dogs stay in the house but I keep them out until late at night. I think I'm going to add some tarps to keep them from flying out while I'm training them to stay in there. Also, add some nesting boxes and move the pole (it lays on the side). not in the picture over by the wall. Hopefully...
I lost two early on from something digging under the fence but haven't had any trouble since then. I couldn't afford to build an enclosed coop at the time. I'm hoping this summer I can update it a little.
