Hi there, I've also had issues with impacted crops and have helped my chickens get through them. First, dont feed anything else to your bird until the mass is cleared. Even though your hen will be hungry, feeding her will only add to the problem since nothing is going down. My hen really enjoyed...
I've researched everything and nothing has been helpful... I've had other chickens with worms before and I don't think this is what she has.. also just checking isn't tylan 50 for respiratory stuff?
Hi,
My one year old silkie hen started limping on her right foot about a week ago.. this past week she has been wasting away. While she is eating some eggs I give her and drinking vitamin enhanced water, she has been popping watery green poop and she can't move around. I'm not sure what is going...
My speckled sussex hen either sprained or broke her leg from falling off her roost in the coop. She wouldn't put any pressure on her right leg and was having trouble standing. So we put her in a box and let her rest for about three days. We stabilized her leg using Popsicle sticks and medical...
I agree. My rooster had the same problem and after tube feeding him for about a week and he stopped pooping green. Green poop means that they using up whatever fat they have left. Could also be mareks? Sorry this isn't much help... Hope your chicken gets better!
Maybe.. I haven't had experience with hatching chicks under a broody hen. I get the chicks already hatched so I'm not an expert on that topic, but that does sound like something that might have happened.
Hmm I'm not sure about the flattened part, but I know that some chicks have problems with their poop sticking to their butts and it has to be cleared or they will die. When I raise chicks, I check them frequently and if they have dried poop stuck, I take a warm wet paper towel and gently wipe it...
My one year old silkie roo has not been moving much at all and started pooping green poops. We got him around two weeks ago and he weighs barely anything at all. I haven't really noticed him eating much of his food(which are crumbles) He isn't excited like normal chickens should be and has been...
Hi,
My chicken has had crop problems for a long time and now she has been breathing raspy and having trouble swallowing her food. Her crop is huge and she is not doing well. Whenever I feed her she chokes down her food fast so I decided to scatter it around on the ground so she slows down. She...
Ugh I don't know what to do. Her crop is very large and she keeps moving her neck in strange directions. She is also puffing up her feathers(which are droopy) I think I'm not going to let her eat for a little while so that her crop can empty again. I never ordered her crop bra because I tried...
This morning she still had it on, but looked very uncomfortable. I took it off of her. I think it might have been pulling on her neck a little too much. I think I'm just going to have to order one offline. I checked her crop and the hard rock-like thing was gone and hopefully it stays like that...
