To help with bare backs we make chicken sweaters! I only put them on when this happens though.

I will post pics ASAP <3

I'll try to upload a video sometime soon. I'm gonna keep an eye on her in case any other symptoms pop up or current ones worsen. Thanks for help!

Rofl. I raised them all from day-old chicks... Except for four which we got from someone who didn't want them. Thanks for the warm welcomes all! <3

Thank you so much! This makes sense now. I'll tell my parents about your post and hopefully she'll just be a rather annoying and loud bird. As long as she's feeling fine.

Hello! I'm Alexandra, or MilieBantam, whatever works for me! I currently live with my family and 19 chickens, all of whom I love very much. We have an elderly dog named Oz, who's a big sweetheart, too. My family calls me chicken obsessed, but kissing each of my lovely hens on the head to bed...

Most of our hens have stopped laying for the winter even thought they live in great condition, waterers refilled daily, heated coop, fresh, dry, clean food, and they get let outside veryday. it's really strange, we have 19 hens but we average around 4-6 eggs. We were getting almost 16-17 in the...

About 3-4 months ago my Buff Silkie Bantam, Puff, started making this strange Screeching/Sneezing/Howling noise every so often for no reason. I didn't take it very seriously back then, as it was few and far between. At first. After about 1 month of this, it started to get louder and more common...

@Eggsessive We're in Charlotte, NC.

She's eating and drinking again! We put electrolytes in the water and vitamins. We had to water her with a syringe, but after leaving her be, she started to drink and eat by herself. She has more energy but she's still a little gurgly and has minor nose running. We haven't heard any worrisome...

Her crop is empty, as she refuses to eat and barely drinks.

Her poo looks mostly white. we are examining her mouth today. I will try to feel her crop too.

She started making noises a couple days ago, but she only started gurgling yesterday. We haven't seen any mucous or the like yet, but her beak and feet are pale and dull. She makes the noise most of the time, but today it seems as if she has lost her voice a bit. she didn't make the noise at...

One of our Brahma's starting making a odd "moaning" noise. She does it constantly with a bit of gurgle before it. We know shes just about ready to start laying eggs and worried if she is getting sick or if could be a hormonal thing. Anyone have ideas. I included a short video of what shes doing...

Thank you for all your help. Is it okay to keep giving her oyster shells just in case she still has a calcium issue? And what about vitamin D?

Thank you! I had a suspicion it was tied with stress. Right now she's cuddling with our other babies, and they aren't picking on her anymore. We'll see what happens tomorrow...

We recently got 4 new laying hens to add to our flock, from a local farmer who was selling them. By the first two weeks, three out of four were laying. The fourth (Angel, an Ameraucana), had only laid one soft egg, so we just assumed she was too old to lay, and that it would go away. But 2 more...
