    going to be rehoming chickens this wknd...any tips?!

    thank you for the response and info! i figured out a way to make it somewhat easier for us to be able to bring their coop as well, so im thinking we will do that. it will have to be placed in the run outside of the coop at their soon to be new home. but i dont think they will keep them that way...

    Thanks Wyorp Rock. I have cameras, but had them off yesterday. I am in NE ohio. I suppose it could be any of what you said. there was ice melting on their roof. falling tho, idk. theyve had hawks come and taunt them a couple of times before but never reacted like this. maybe a coyote or who...

    odd behavior

    is this the right forum?! nothing to do with egg laying, but didnt seem to fit emergency or any others either. I brought my ladies (2 year old isa browns) their before bed treat yesterday but instead of pacing at the door, they were huddled in the corner. one came over while the other 2 slowly...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    i had posted about 2 hours ago, a little frantic cuz one of the other hens had blood on her breast (from feathers, not skin) and i was doom and gloom having this added onto the current situation. i just deleted it. i had put some blue kote on and so far so good, since theyre occupied with the...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    if its empty tmrw morning, that'll be 2 mornings in a row tho. you suggest an additional day still?! not going to be able to check her crop once she's back to normal life, if it needs to be done first thing in the morning. if there were a problem brewing tho do you think itd be apparent during...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    :) so, just to be clear...if her crop is empty tmrw morning she can go back to normal life?! tho obviously she'd have to spend most of the day in the cage i'll make in the pen before fully returning. should i continue the current diet up until i let her out and then give her regular feed/treat...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    that does sound like a good idea...except for all the work it will be (the making a cage and bringing back and forth in the cold and rain and possibly snow, not so much the food blending). she's already been separated for over 24hrs. how long until they forget her do you think?! a couple of days...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    last time i had to separate her, i made a make-shift cage in the pen. i dont remember why but we didnt end up using it. we could make one again, i just wonder if its a good idea in the sense that, being she's on a water soluble diet, she wont have really have anything in her to keep her warm...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    i gave her a bit of wet layer feed, tho it was more like flour since i did it up in the food processor then sieved it, thinking that might be better. mixed a bit of the mashed hb egg, some of the b.soda etc mix and added a little of her acv water. she ate no problem, but i took it away from her...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    she is seeming much better thanks! i dont feel any more comfortable to vomit her but do i really need to at this point?! is it possible that its not sour crop but maybe was on its way to being soured, or maybe just slow (are those the same thing)?! we havent noticed any bad smell, tho we also...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    im glad she ate too. i know they can survive not eating for a little, but keeping her in the garage, alone has me feeling extra bad for her and if she's feeling well enough to eat, especially something that could help her issue somewhat, i feel it may be good to do, so thats what i did ;). i had...

    thinking some kind of crop issue...please help!

    a little before 11pm i checked on her. her crop seemed to be a bit less. she squirted out some clear liquid from her butt. i decided to give her less than 2 tbs mashed hard boiled egg, with maybe half a tsp of the b.soda ginger cinnamon etc mix, with a dot of acv water. she ate it all and wanted...
