    Wet/damp chicken

    Well, I blow dried her. She seemed to like it. I checked EVERYWHERE in the coop and run. I cannot figure out the source of water. I know when they tuck their heads under at night they can make some moisture but this seemed like more than that. I will see what she is like in the morning.

    Wet/damp chicken

    yes, I use an open water bucket at the moment. Trying to convince my husband to let me buy an electric one. They all seem fine. Not lethargic, eating fine, no runny poop,no vomiting. I have other birds and they are all dry.

    Wet/damp chicken

    Lots of ventilation in their coop. No condensation on the roof or window either. I will blow dry her outside under cover but not get her too hot.

    Wet/damp chicken

    The last three days one of my chickens has been damp. I have checked the coop,there is no leak, no water getting in that I can see. I went out in the dark and moved her on the perch and to check for condensation. Nothing! I towel dried her last night and she is damp again today. We have been...

    Adding a bird

    I'm joining in on this thread to ask...what are pin-less peepers? I also did what the OP did and thought "what's one more bird" but I got two. I kept them separate for one week (in a cage in the run so they could see but not peck). They have been together in the run now for almost a week and...

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    Update on my sick chicken. She got up the next day and seems completely fine! The only thing I was able to do for her was to make her drink acv water and vitamin water. I was going to take her in on Monday if she was still sick but she woke up the next morning and has seemed completely fine since!

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    Pupils look the same size and round. No signs of any muddy or faded eye. No pink glaze. They do not free range. I have been tossing scraps like lettuce, spinach, zucchini, cooked rice, swiss chard, kale,strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. No mold, I throw that stuff away. I just got a...

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    It is not an impacted crop. I just youtubed it and went and checked again. I honestly think it is her left eye. I don't see anything wrong with it but she is keeping it closed. I just hand fed her and she went and took water on her own. I am going to leave her one for a bit amd check on her...

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    I will go re-check her crop. Here is a picture of the vitamins. Should I empty the acv water and put some vitamin water in? I opened her eye, all seems normal. I will see if I can get a picture of her poop. I have to quarantine her first

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    Great idea of the dog crate. I think I might have one in my garage! If all the other chickens go inside to roost at night will this one be okay on it's own out in the (enclosed and water proof) run? I also think I have an extra horizontal water nipple. I don't have a hanging feeder but I could...

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    I don't know what to feel for in her crop. I felt hers and two others and they seemed the same.

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    Purchased these birds April 15th. I guess that makes them 3 months old not 4. Weather has been cold and rainy but they are under shelter with areas out of the wind. She drank. Not sure on poop or food. I will go back out

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    I don't see any abnormal poop. Excuse the mess, I just gave them zucchini from my garden. I was out there now and took her over to the waterer and made her drink some water with ACV in it. She drank with her left eye closed. I am usually not able to catch her so this has me concerned.

    Sleepy Chicken?!

    Help! This is my first time having chickens and they are 4 months old. One of mine has been acting very sleepy today. She isn't eating much, drinking much and just seems tired. She is closing her left eye all the time. I picked her up and checked her out. No discharge from eyes or nose, no...

    Which would you choose?

    Update: the lady selling these did not get back to me. Now I am looking to get a few chicks. I can only get 2 more. I want good layers and calm birds. Thoughts on these breeds? I am brand new so I have no clue! Ancona Blue Cochin Buff Orpington Easter Egger Golden Hamburg Light Brahma Silkie...
