Thank you all for your advice and help. We've found someone to house the girls while we rebuild. Time was what we needed most.

Many thanks, I've reposted there. We are lucky.

Hello friends in the Maine Backyard Chickens Community, The storm last night knocked a tremendously large pine tree through our coop, flattening it. All the hens are miraculously ok. A local farm has taken 17 from us, but there are 10 we couldn't bear to part with. We are having trouble...

Today is day three. She was allowing me to give her about 10 drops each hour in her mouth and she would swallow it. I was mixing it with an electrolyte powder. Today, she won't swallow it and is breathing from her mouth. She's had a little bit of mash mixed with water today but you can see in...

Thank you. I made an oatmeal and mash slurry and was able to get her to swallow about 10 drops late last night. I was very pleased to find her alive this morning. She's not showing signs of improvement but fights me a little bit on the eyedropper which must be a sign of increased strength, if...

Thank you all. I will replace the feed and check it closely. My Barred Rocks is hanging on. I am able to give her water with an eye dropper, but how do I feed her? She has no interest in eating. When the water hits her stomach it growls with hunger and it breaks my heart. How do I feed a...
