Thanks for that advice. I managed to hydrate her for a bit. Her abdomen doesnt feel out of the ordinarily soft. I cant tell if that softness is just how it normally feels like or if it is due to fluid. She does seem to stand in a wide stance and occationally looks under herself as if she is...

Thank you for responding. I have tried making her drink tonic dilluted in water through a syringe gently with a few drops but she is refusing to open her beak. I have tried multiple times for a few days. I feel helpless at this point. Her abdomen feels soft. Not too filled with liquid. But...

My hen is 2 years old and was completely healthy till she started displaying symptoms of lethargy and stopped eating properly. I didnt think much of it till I noticed that last night she didnt go back in the coop with the others. She stood all night. She looks very unwell. She's too weak to move...

There isn't any cut grass from lawn mowing but they do scratch the grass and there is grass laying around from them scratching. They eat plenty of fresh grass as well but may also be eating the cut grass. Thats a good idea of checking their crops. Ill try doing it first thing in the morning.

Im feeding them layer pellets that are non GMO. I dont feed the, oyster shells cause theyre not laying but they do have grit. Its warmer than usual but theyve been eating in much hotter climate. idk if eating grass is causimg their crop to be impacted in a way.

So I have three 17 week old hybrid chickens. They are all very active and extremely friendly but recently a day ago they stopped eating their normal feed. Also, two of them have grown very red combs+waddles and have also started squatting even when walking near them. But one of them has started...

I experienced the same thing with my chickens. When I introduced my Pekin Bantam she managed to rank in the middle of the hierarchy. She never messes with the higher ranking chicken but does bully the lower ones. Its been three months and she will still peck them. Honestly shes just a bully...

I dont own ducks but I do own chickens and I know that if a chicken lays a white egg for example, thats the only colour she'll ever lay. The same goes for blue/green. If a chicken lays a blue egg she will continue laying that colour. So basically if I answer your question: some ducks lay all...

Moving her could be a good idea especially if you want to let her raise the chicks without having to worry about the rest of the flock.

I know what you mean. I havnt heard of any of these either. I live in England so the names for these breeds are different so Im struggling to find any information about them.

So I have only owned pure breeds and I am thinking of starting a new batch of Hybrid chickens. I have never had any experience of owning Hybrids and would really appreciate any advice. Im mainly keeping them as pets (eggs are a bonus). Ive had cochins and sussex bantams and they were the most...

They've got Hybrids

So Im thinking of buying some Hybrids which I have never owned before. My main reason for keeping chickens is mainly for their company(eggs are a bonus). I have only been a chicken owner for 3 months and my last bantam batch were very ill so I returned them. Im very excited as I found a good...

Thanks for the advice. She is a cochin bantam probaby 8 months old but hasnt started laying as it is winter. She has also started coughing which I noticed an hour ago. I feed her layers mesh as the others had started laying but are on pause due to the winter months. I give her mixed corn and...

She suffered from coryza before and took her to the breeder who gave her an injection. Her face was swollen and all but got better a week after the injection. She never stopped sneezing and recently her eyes produced discharge again so i thought it was a relapse and took her again to be given...

One of my three chickens has been sneezing and previously had discharge from her eyes which she got treated with. But she never recovered from the sneezing.Now I have noticed that she has been twitching her head and a very tiny bit twitching her body. The other two havnt showed any of these...

They were given an injection which I cant remember the name to but theyre meant to be right as rain within a week. They are the only birds I have so im not worried about segregating them. Do I keep them indoors for warmth or use a heat lamp? Im afraid a heat lamp might be too hot for them...

So basically my chickens got coryza and I caught it in an early stage so they weren't too bad. Theres no vet in my area that can provide with a cure so I took them to the chicken breeder that I bought them from as they said they have the treatment and can provide it to them for free. Long story...

Thats a good idea
