Awesome. I will get that. I have lovely blue food grade 50 gallon barrels that I store everything in nicely. But for now think I need to change my name to Laura, the bad chicken mom :/

I'm not up for the opening up of my girl being a bit squeamish about this. Wish I wasn't. I am able to handle the tapping of an ascites belly though. Just watched segments on sour crop! Learning a ton and glad because I can share with friends. I asked the lady I buy feed from about some issue...

There was a lot of talk of people giving their chickens "lots of plain yogurt" with their meals to ensure continual laying, which didn't seem wise to me. If they need a natural break I think they've earned it. Then I read that people that abruptly changed their flock's diet - thinking they...

I do not feed granite grit! I didn't know this! Shoot! I will certainly see to that. They have lots of room to run, about 40x25 foot area for 6 hens. They're under lots of trees (some stone fruit, and two huge pine trees, manzanita as well. They're able to forage a lot. I do give occasional...

Having just watched the video, I am sure this is what was happening to her. I am so sad I didn't know this yesterday, even though it may have been too late. I can definitely do this procedure if this happens again. I really hope not. What a shame to lose such a beautiful girl to this...

Thank you for this! I actually thought I had read something about this condition before but was unable to find it again, which is why I reached out. I just found her dead right before reading this post. I run a dog rescue and have had my hands really full over the past couple days, so of...

We're having an issue with my hen right now and have bathed a few in recent years. If you haven't done much of that might I suggest getting two basins big enough to set her in, fill them with warm water, about 1/2 full, have towels ready to set her on when she comes out, with a little dawn dish...

Its hard to say how long its been since she's laid an egg. All my girls lay in the same place, just under five years old, and are molting right now, so very few eggs for the past couple weeks. Feed is layer crumbles, scratch, with oyster shell grit added and use food grade diatomaceous earth...

The white stuff on her butt is just bedding. She's sort of laying on her left side and has not moved much today. She ate and drank water yesterday, but not today.

Thank you for responding. I'm super overwhelmed by this. Her bottom is red and swollen like a water balloon. She has labored breathing, feathers all puffed up, eyes semi open. I bathed her bottom yesterday and clipped the feathers below her vent. The vent looks completely normal. I feel so...

I don't care to join another social media group. I don't have the time for it. I just wanted some info for my chicken's nasty butt problem.
