A while back my 6 year old silky began displaying this very weird behavior. She would turn her head all the way under her body and shake it, sometime falling completely over while flapping her wings, this would go on for minutes at a time several times a day. My husband and I had just moved and...

She has been getting cooked egg and she LOVES it, especially the yolk which is chalk full of vitamin B. Her daily meal is crumble in the crate at all time for her to graze, cooked eggs with oregano and orange for breakfast. For dinner she getting a blend of fruits and Greek yogurt with some tuna...

Thank you to everyone who shared their chicken words of wisdom!!! Chicken Nugget is so much better. Her comb is pretty much bright red again she is alert, eating well and visiting with her chicken friend in the afternoons for a bit while the bully is in the run. Her necrotic tissue is starting...

so this morning she was sprightly and awake looking at everyone. Her comb seems to be a bit better and she had actually moved in her box.

So an update is as of today she is eating and drinking way better than yesterday and her vent looks better already. The skin is not flaking yet, but it looks much better. She still can't walk or stand, she will take like three steps and lay down. Her abdomen is swollen and squishy (soft to...

Sorry, no it is NOT usually that color or flopped over like that. It is usually bright red and upright.

yes it is and it is normally straight up

Here are some pictures of her today.

Oh and she ate some mashed berries today. But I will try some tuna.

Thanks for the food advice. She was laying everyday before this happened. I did the gloved finger trick to see if she had a egg stuck because she was releasing in her soak what looked like white stringy egg white, but I didn't feel anything.

I cant remember but I know we looked at that carefully when we originally got chickens years ago. I don't have pictures of the coup yet, but I did notice a couple of feathers missing form my silkies vent so I believe I am gonna have to pull Cinnamon "the bully" The coup is probably about 7x4...

Yes, literally a few days before she stopped coming out of the coop i was just saying "man chicken nugget is a big girl now", she was the runt when we got this flock hence the name Chicken nugget. Anyway I love this little girl and have had her inside for 24 hours now. I am kindly making her...

Okay, I have been keeping her inside because she won't stand or move around. her comb is purple colored and I feel as though she may be pretty sick from this. She still is not eating and drinking very much at all. Do you think I should still keep her in the coop? The chicken that is bullying may...

Thank you for commenting. They free range everyday and eat a well balanced diet. however this makes sense because one of the three chickens I have has become aggressive recently.

I only have three chickens, a silkie and two cinnamon reds, they have been together since birth. The run is pretty big and they free range every day and eat a well balanced crumble. However one chicken has become increasingly aggressive with Chicken Nugget and Pollo " my other two" nothing...

Okay, thank you so much. I have three chickens that have been together since birth. However one has become more aggressive with the others so that explains a a lot. I have cleaned it with Epsom salt and beta-dine and have her inside in a crate.

Three days ago my 3 year old Cinnamon Red "Chicken Nugget" would not come out of the coop. I noticed a clear fluid coming from her cloaca on the bedding. After further inspection I noticed her vent looked swollen and bruised. She wont stand and is lethargic and not eating very well. I noticed...

I had a friend visiting from out of town and somehow her dog got left outside. He busted through the chicken run and chased 4 of them out of the run and they were found deceased in the yard in several places.It appeared as though they simply got scared to death there was no attack marks. Oddly...
