Well my little girl hasn't changed. Today she didn't eat anything. Not even her hard boiled eggs that she seem to really like. Poop is runny and has green balls in it. I did get some epson salt down her. I guess I will continue to see how things go.

I have named her Perky. They all look alike so when they are all together it is hard to tell them apart. She seems better today. She did eat all her egg. Her poop is still runny. I am in contact with a vet but he admits he doesn't know much about Chickens. I will keep her up here in the...

My little girl has poop on her bottom. Seems to be bottom heavy. Her comb is not as pretty as the others. She seems OK. I have 10 little girls but I am only getting 8 to 9 eggs daily which leads me to think there might be a problem. What do you think.

Thanks for the information. I was so worried because it got down to 7 last night with -8 wind chill. My little girls are in an old coop that has alot of places where wind can get in. I was going to set up a heater today but after reading the comments and them doing just fine this morning I...
