Looking much better. Poor Waddles :( Hope things continue to improve ❤️

It’s hard to tell. If it is, it’s pretty mild. Since I’ve been keeping a closer eye on her there hasn’t seemed to be any changes.

Her crop seemed empty and normal this morning... not sure what’s going on with her :(

Thank you I will take a look, I’ve dealt with sour crop before but never in conjunction with other issues.

I agree! I’ve been using a heating pad wrapped in heat resistant cloth for my past few rounds of chicks. It’s much better for them to have a day/night. It seems maddening to have constant light (for them and me!!), the heating pad keeps them warm but they actually sleep at night instead of...

Thank you, but I am sure this is not the case. My laying boxes are on the front porch and even when she was kept inside for a week still no eggs.

One of my hens hasn’t been laying for awhile. She’s maybe a little over 2 years old and has been a very good layer. I first noticed she wasn’t doing well about 2 months ago. I thought that she was maybe internally laying and there isn’t much you can do about it so I was just waiting to see what...

So bizarre! You can get a supplemental booster to add to their diet. They will begin to feather rather quickly so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It looks like the pin feathers are already surfacing :D. Just keep an eye on them and update if any strange developments occur. Have fun with your...

Thanks for the reply. She does have egg shells and has never had any laying issues, like soft eggs. I also wonder if it might be mild ascites but I’m not sure. I am trying to see if there’s anything I can do at home to help her before it requires professional help. As she seems to be mostly...

My 2 year old RIR has a slightly swollen abdomen. She is still moving around and actively eating and drinking. She looks fine but she does seem to be acting like she wants to lay an egg, not hunkered down or pushing or anything but just wanting to nest. She is just a pretty regular layer and I...

My only male Cochin is a bantam frizzle, so I am no expert. However the neck and saddle feathers look rather indicative of a rooster. Beautiful birds!

Entry #1: Entry #2:

So sorry to hear that she passed. I feel for your loss. Much love to you and your flock.

As far as I know there aren’t any issues.. I feed them to mine during the spring/summer and have never had any problems :)

...this also reminded me of www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-neck-attack-help.1198490/ Somewhere in here is good information on antibiotics <3

As far as keeping the wound clean: My rooster just had his toe amputated recently and my vet gave me chlorohexidine to soak his foot in between bandage changes. I bought more on Amazon for pretty cheap ($11). You dilute it so a little goes a long way. It works well as a wound cleanser, you might...

Maybe cut cucumber slices and put them in the water to infuse the taste... like ‘spa water’. Perhaps your hen is just fancy ;)

I want ChicKoin! :jumpyChicKoin > other Cryptocurrencies

All the babies are so incredibly adorable :love:jumpy!
