My neighbor found 3 chicks alone in the yard - one had died before she found them and these are the other 2. They look a lot like baby chickens that are a couple days old, they seem way too big to be wild birds. They don't quite look like photos we've found of baby wild turkeys. But we're...

Yeah, I know, I guess I'm just worried because it still seems so cold out. Thanks for the replies!

I have a broody hen who's laying on 6 eggs right now. She started laying on them March 28th so we're expecting chicks in mid April. I live in northern NY so mid April temps are anywhere between 20 degrees (farenheit) at night and daytime highs in the 60s at most. We want to let her hatch and...

She's doing great today :-) I haven't seen any irregular behavior...she seems back to her old self! What a relief :-)

I just wanted to thank you all for your help. There's no vets around here that deal with chickens, so it's hard to figure this stuff out on your own, and it's nice to be able to come on here for help. When I got home today after being gone for a few hours, she seems to have made a drastic...

Thank you Kathy, I will.

I'm on my way to a nearby town to tractor supply for the calcium. I'll post a photo of her poo when I get back, hopefully she will be doing better. I'll keep it updated. Thanks again everyone.

Well this morning when I went in the room to check on her, she was standing up normal and even eating and "talking" a little..so I brought her outside to move around and she was running and digging and seemed to be just fine, so I let the others out to free range with her to make sure there'd be...

Thank you all for the insight and ideas. I don't have a photo but she is sleeping now, so I'll pray for her to be better by morning, and if not I'll get back to trying to help her recover. I appreciate all the quick and helpful replies.

Yes she does seem to be standing kind of wide, but not heavier feeling than usual. I did buy a dropper to give her electrolyte water but I couldn't get her to drink it, but I will try again in the morning. Thanks.

Thank you, I'll try the Tractor supply in a neighboring town - hopefully they have it. I haven't noticed her drink since this began, but this morning when she was up and active for a few minutes she ate a few bites of oatmeal. I was so excited that she was walking and eating - but within minutes...

Thank you. I tried to find liquid calcium but went to 5 stores with no luck..so I've been trying to give her oatmeal and yogurt, mixed with crushed shells, but have had little luck getting her to eat them :/

Thank you. She is almost 2. We believe she is a bare legged white Maran. We got her from someone who raises chickens when they were a little over a year old. She does lay but I'm unsure when the last time was as we have 3 Other hens.

I appreciate the help. No, she hasn't laid since this began. It almost likes as if she's trying sometimes, because she seems to be straining..but I haven't felt an egg in her crop...I'm afraid if it is egg binding that I won't be able to help her, as the bath and other things I've tried like...

Thank you. She has had a few moments acting normal but it only lasts a minute or 2 then she is back to the standing still.

It's not watery, and there's no wounds or mites..she is walking different, kind of like a penguin..but that's only when she walks, which is very rare the last 2 days...she's mostly just been completely still in a standing position..my poor girl :( I don't want to see her suffering, but I keep...

I forgot to add that she had an episode like this about a week ago where she was acting the same exact way (standing still, puffed up), but it only lasted an hour and then it's like she suddenly came back to life and was completely normal again..I assumed maybe she was in shock..but this has...

I was worried about that last night, but her head was only tilted that way while she slept (or tried to at least) and she hasn't done it since, thankfully

Thanks! The only feces I've seen come out is weird looking - small blackish clumps with like a white gloss...and it's only been very small amounts. We feed her egg-laying crumble from tractor supply, and they also get grits and shells, and we give them treats usually once a day - varies from...
