Thank you Nancy, and for sharing as well, it hurts when you are a child and don't fully comprehend why your animals pass on. My daughter is feeling a bit better today, I want them to grieve the right way. My son took it really hard when we buried her, it hit him then that he wouldn't see her...

Thank you all. It is a true comfort knowing I did all "I" could do, with a hen that got sick and me dealing with this for the first time. And that I was there with her in the end and she didn't die alone. I'm happy I asked for help here, I've learned a lot on the way, and you all have been so...

I'm sad to say Cars passed away this afternoon . I brought her in so she could be with us, since she took a turn for the worst, and not 5 min after she was brought in she passed away in my arms. It wasn't a pretty death. The kids were with me, and we sat down and I explained all about death and...

I've checked to see if she was egg bound but couldn't feel anything, she's skinny and there's nothing. Is there another way of checking? It must be stones then still in her crop, explains why they are still there.

I also wanted to ask, how do you feed a chickens some yogurt, eggs and/or crushed pellets if you aren't supposed to force feed them/opening their beaks yourself and putting the food in their mouths? Someone gave me Blue Seal sunshine plus with yeast culture and I'd like to try it with her, but...

Thanks y'all, this really helps. It took a while for me to notice something was up, I'm new to having chickens so I wasn't sure which signs to look for. She hasn't been laying for 2 weeks now, when we got all 4 hens only 2 were laying, then a month later, all 4 were laying finally. Then 2...

She's about a year and a half, we bought her 3 months ago from farmers who have fed her organic feed, I don't "think" she was wormed, but I could ask. It really does look like her crop is impacted, it's hard to the touch, slightly warm, and you can feel the grains through her skin. There's...

Hi everyone, I'm new around here . I've been checking out this board for a while now as a lurker and just now finally registered. I'm Genevieve, I have 4 laying hens, and I've grown so attached to them these past months. So now with one of them not doing well I'm worried, and since this is...
