    I make my own apple cider. Is it safe to give Lucy the pulp that's left over from making the cider? Thanks!

    Great!! I wasn't sure about the dose, so I only gave her half a pill, since she had such a rough 2 days, I didn't want to put any undo strain on her organs. Now that is back to her old self, I will give her a whole pill with her scrambled eggs for a couple days. Thanks again!

    Thanks for all your wonderful advice... I just bought her grit, ground oyster sells and a probiotic to add to her water. Hopefully she will be feeling better soon. I called our vet today and they are looking for a local poultry vet that will contact me. She is standing in her coop right now...

    I will take pictures of her tomorrow and post them. I have not seen a single feather in her coop, so I don't think it's moulting. I did look at her comb this evening, and it still is straight and very red. I know it's difficult to diagnose a sick animal via computer, I really appreciate your...

    She does lay large eggs, usually 60-70 grams. and she did have an 80 gram egg last week. She's not really fat, just plumper that when we rescued her. I took this picture of her yesterday. Does she look fat to you? Thanks again for all your help and advice.

    ok, thanks for your input. We will cut back drastically on her corn. I only gave Lucy the frozen corn when the heat index was over 100. Since she is walking normally, I thought she wasn't egg bound. But since Lucy is my first chicken, I know I have a lot to learn!! She has been laying...

    She eats Purina Layena Plus Omega-3 poultry feed, and we give her cracked corn and mealy worms as treats. We have cut back her treats the last weeks because she has gotten a little fat. We do limit her mealy worms to 2 table spoons per day. She stays in a 4 story coop, no free range. There...
