    Lethargic pullet barely eats, stands around puffed up with eyes closed-could it be sour crop?

    Yes. Was told there were no signs of worms or coccidia. Taking her to a vet is out of the question. Like I said in my original post, for all the years we've had chickens this is a first. When she is out she goes between standing around and picking/scratching the ground. We're stumped. It's...

    Lethargic pullet barely eats, stands around puffed up with eyes closed-could it be sour crop?

    Not worms or coccidia. She is no worse...but no better. She drinks and I have been feeding her an electrolyte/ yogurt blend with a medicine dropper. She'll look at food then walk away.

    Worms & Respiratory Disease - Rooster Booster Worked!!!

    I wouldn't use it myself. Check out this link to see why. (I certainly wouldn't eat eggs from chickens fed this...) https://hencam.com/henblog/2014/05/wormer-warning/

    I was planning on letting them out but the weather gets so nasty here in the winter. .. I plan on having both windows open in warmer weather. Been thinking I need more vents myself.

    I do have my birds. 4 EE pullets. They are currently in a 4 x 4 coop with large outdoor run but with winter weather and 24 - 7 shut in we had to build a much larger coop.

    Show us your nest boxes! Ingenous design post it here!

    I just finished this today. Have yet to put it up but my new coop isn't quite done yet. This is made entirely from left over pieces of wood/ plywood/ T1-11 that I used to build the coop.

    I'm still working on mine (with a little help from my 78 year old mother) I have been working on it a little at a time since early October. (Have to squeeze it in around work and weather...) It's 8' x 6' and the front is roughly 6' high. (I'm short so it works). Back wall is less than 5' high...

    Lethargic pullet barely eats, stands around puffed up with eyes closed-could it be sour crop?

    Just a little history on these girls to start: I bought 4 EE pullets back in late September. They were all lovely birds, well cared for and in the picture of health. I brought them home and put them into our 4x4 coop which has a large outdoor run and have let them run in it every day since...

    Central New Yorker (Chenango County) Looking for bantams

    HI all, Someone suggested I find the New York page but it has no place to start a new thread. I am looking to start over, having just lost our last (11year old) hen to old age in July. I have two empty smaller coops and plan on eventually getting a couple standard pullets next year. I would...

    ISO 2 bantam pullets in Central NY (Madison/Chenango Counties)

    Hi all, I'm new here but by no means new to chickens. Having grown up with them I find myself (40 years later) looking to start a new flock. I'm looking for 2 nice, friendly bantam pullets. Preferably just started laying. Our chickens have a great forever life on our property. (Our last hen...
