I cleaned the poop off of her , but she doesn’t look too much different except for when I pick her up and she is definitely lighter. I think it’s sour crop and have been treating her for that for an hour or so but she still won’t eat.
My 3 year old Americana chicken (the one in profile pic) isn’t doing too well. First noticed last week when she had green poop stuck to feathers outside of her vent. As of right now she won’t eat food, except for mealworms, has lost almost all of her weight but her feathers still look good and...
She is drinking and eating, not as active as previous weeks but she may be molting as her feathers are missing. I will take a picture tomorrow morning since it’s dark out here.

Here are some pictures of my chickens , I have included a close up of my paint silkie because his/her comb is much more prominent then the other silkies I have at the same age. If you can give some advice of wether you know the sex of any of them that will be much appreciated. [/IMG]
