You have your reasons as to why you don't heat - that's fine - but in my opinion frost bite is painful for ANYTHING to endure - so I do what I can to prevent it from becoming an issue - we all do what we think is best for our girls/roos - no reason to get snotty

Why I heat – the human body can survive 40 degree temps without going into hyperthermia – but at 39 degrees we will go in to hyperthermia within 24hrs. And we know if we keep our homes at 40 degrees not only is it miserably cold but we will get sick. Most chickens will SURVIVE cold temps just as...

She could be under weight because of the "worm issue" but sounds like her body is shutting down because she is freezing to death - they show the symptoms your describing moving slow and stiff before they die from freezing to death - get the electrolytes in her and get her inside where its warm !

If this is a pet rather then the "typical chicken" - I would try to find an exotic bird vet - they seem to treat them as pets more then "just a chicken" - sometimes they don't want chickens in the office and the front desk automatically says "we don't do chickens" call and tell them you have a...

Can you take it to a vet - your right, there's a lot going on here - and you sound like your familiar with the "chicken world" - it sounds like as its getting older its haveing more "complications" - its little eyes look like it doesn't feel good they lack that "spark"

Something must be wrong with the digestive system that isn't absorbing what it needs and or processing the food correctly. I wonder if you tried a treat they call Ultra Kibble from farmers helper . It helps their system absorb the nutrients and supports the intestinal tract to aide digestion -...

Just so I know I hear you correctly - its in with other chicks that are growing and doing fine - its just the one that has the issues - is the food digested in the stools, what do they look like, and is the discharge come from the nostrils also, and does the crusty beak look like its food has...

We have a Golden Comet - she lays daily and might miss a day every month and a half or 2 months - she also lays through the winter months - they are cold hardy - molt doesn't effect her much either - she lets our Orpington boss her around - she is very friendly , when in the house or nest she...

This site is an awesome reference site - it tells you everything from management to illness and how to use the meds etc. - and it isn't just about chickens it covers lots of animals - my vet recommended this, they use it in colleges ! http://www.merckmanuals.com/vet/index.html Have fun ! !

Terramycin ointment works like magic - follow directions carefully - it was all we used with an eye injury - to many antibiotics can cause GI issues - and then u get runny stools to correct - we also couldn't eat her eggs during and for 2 wks after we stopped treatment

It could be a disease - my orp does it from time to time - they get it from wildbird poo - with her the eggs start to lose color also - I get a light colored egg then a shell less one - sometimes her stool gets runny too, so she gets a supplement for the digestive tract -can't remember what the...

Our girls didn't like it the first few nights - it was strange to them and had to be coaxed in first 3 nights - I continued to use it (we leave ours on to keep it warm all night) and they are fine with it now , and laying again - it took 2wks to start laying again

I don't have the sites on hand but there are ways of correcting the behavior - they aren't hard to find tho - keep in mind the breed makes a difference too - his hormones are also just 'kicking in ' so he is extra bad like a 13 yr old - plus I heard u need more then one roo to occupy each other
