    Help please: Off balance chicken not pooping

    Thank you so much! Her crop feels normal. I couldn’t find any signs of notes or lice or of scabs, swelling, or bruising. She has now passed two poops. Both were super large and really smelly. I’ll post a photo below. Today her balance is worse. It seems more balance related than legs. If I...

    Help please: Off balance chicken not pooping

    Hey all- I would love some help with my 9 month old Rhode Island Red, Tilly. This morning when she came out of the coop, she was super off balance. She can’t seem to stand on her own two feet. I gave her a warm bath and put her in chicken quarantine. This evening, she’s still not standing...

    Coop Flooring Help!

    I'm open to anything :) However, I cannot think of a place that would work unless I moved it outside the coop. I don't think that would work for the winters as I live in Colorado. Do you think they would just kick over a tray beneath the waterer?

    Coop Flooring Help!

    There are already wood floors; it's an elevated coop. I'm trying to think what to put over the wood.

    Coop Flooring Help!

    Hey all- I'm trying to think of a good flooring option for our coop. It's currently wood flooring to prevent predators, but I'm realizing that may not be the best fit. Our girls apparently haven't learned proper dinner manners and spill about 10x as much water as they drink even with horizontal...

    New to chickens and would love some help!

    We were able to speak to a vet. She thought it was an advanced infection. Unfortunately, she passed not too shortly after the visit :( It's a sad day at our house, but we're trying to be grateful all the other girls are still happy and healthy. Hoping it stays that way!

    New to chickens and would love some help!

    Thank you so much for your help! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. Would you mind elaborating on what intensive supportive care looks like? Right now, I have her separate from the rest of the flock with access to food and water. She's not eating on her own, so I'm coming in every hour...

    Do I need to treat the other girls for coccidiosis then too?

    New to chickens and would love some help!

    Thanks so much for your help. -She's still pretty sluggish and not feeling well this morning. I've been closely monitoring her and the other girls. No one is showing any odd signs. I haven't seen her eat or drink yet, so this morning I made her a yogurt mash and helped her eat little amounts...

    New to chickens and would love some help!

    Hey all- I have a young white leghorn (she's about 8 weeks old) and I noticed she is sick today. She's still on the medicated chick feed. She's overall super lethargic and has no interest in eating or drinking. She's also passing pretty loose and bright green poop. I have her isolated from the...
