I pulled a worm off the back of one of my buckeyes today. I thought it was odd that it was on her back. It looked like a super skinny earth worm. Im not sure if it was just stuck to her back or if it was coming out of her! I havnt seen any worms in the stool but honestly I havnt been paying...
So she has turned around! Shes up and moving. Lots of attitude and eating well! Thanks for the advice! Some TLC and a couple of spa treatments was all she needed!
I am concerned it may be a worm issue though. I pulled a worm off the back of one of my other chickens today. It looked like a...
so right now im getting her to eat some yogurt dipped meal worms, shes skeptical though. I will make some scrambled eggs for her tonight! Thank you for the link. I have not seen any injuries or wounds. And ive given her a couple of baths to clean her vent area and check to see if she was egg...

Thanks! I appreciate the responses, I absolutely plan on keeping her separated. I forgot to mention another couple of things.
1. She was vaccinated for mareks, her and all the rest of the flock. They are from cackle hatchery in MO
2. She has never layed a egg. All of the other hens have...
Hi,
Hoping for some insight here. I have buckeyes, my flock started with 11 birds, im down to 9. The first lost was a predator attack. After fixing the weak spot in the coop I lost one overnight to unknown causes. There were no wounds on the hen and it was a few weeks after the predator...
Hi first time poster long time reader!
One of my beautiful buckeye hens snapped a nail. I noticed some blood drops in the yard and checked all of them out and noticed it was her and her poor foot. Ive seperated her from the flock and cleaned it as best as possible.
As far as a antiseptic...
