Do you have a light? do you have other breeds? I know they will stop laying during the winter if they don’t have enough light. we have a light on a timer and the three other breeds are laying fine. We inspected for mites last night. Couldn’t check under her wings because she was fighting so...

We have one that does the same thing!! we pull her out every night but she may go back in after we leave. sometimes we block it off and open it in the morning before they start laying. the problem isn’t that the eggs themselves are poopy, but we have a roll away egg box and will end up with big...

Yes i just saw that!! thank you!

No, we haven’t been able to catch her! We will give her some treats and try this evening, thank you.

She seemed very jumpy this morning as well. If she is looking for a place to lay, does that mean that she might be egg bound? I was under the impression that they became very sluggish

An update.. Angela was acting very strange when we let them out to free range this evening. She was sprinting all over the yard, running up to the other three chickens, then running away. She is the smallest, and I know that they can stop laying if they are stressed.. is it possible that they...

Thank you both. In terms of molting, I don’t see any bare spots on her, but this morning I did notice more feathers than normal in the run. I thought she was too young for her first molt, but it’s my first time raising chickens so who knows! Perhaps she will start up again... it seems odd to me...

We have four, 9 month old chickens. They have all been laying very consistently since September. We have one Easter Egger (named Angela) and our other three lay brown eggs, so hers are very distinguishable. We have a light on a timer in the coop that helped to keep them all consistent through...

Thank you. I'm not sure of all of the symptoms of wry neck, but right now her legs seem to be the only part of her body affected. Could that still be wry neck?

we have been doing b12. we will get more of a multivitamin today. I skimmed the article, very informative. i need to take the time to read it thoroughly. It sounds from what I have read that it’s hard to know for sure if it’s mareks without testing. I can’t phantom having my 4 other girls go...

She is even worse this morning. She can't stand up at all. She is happy and alert when we hold and pet her but she doesn't understand why her legs won't work. We basically propped her up next to food and water. It's killing me to have to leave her to go to work. It certainly sounds like she has...

This is how she is sitting on my lap right now. She ate part of an ear of corn that I fed her and loved it. she tried to fly down to be with the other chicks, and staggered and stumbled until she eventually fell over.

She always falls backwards. sometimes a little side ways but for the most part she just lands on her butt. she flaps her wings sometimes trying to keep her balance, then pretty much gives up and sits there on her bottom.

I am having trouble uploading the videos. I’ll post them on the backyard chickens facebook page and link this post. basically she is sitting there eating grass looking happy but any time she tries to stand up she falls over. she seems very sad about being separate from the other chickens but...

Here is a picture of her. I was told that her eyes look good, and that if had mareks they would not? I’ll get a video of her falling over this evening. She has always been significantly smaller than the other chickens. She had pasty butt when we first got her but we cleared it up pretty fast.

Thank you so much! We found poop in her corner of the coop last night and it was black. We got a b12 liquid and gave it to her in an eye dropper. We’ve also been giving her eyedroppers of water with electrolytes in it. She eats some but we are not sure that she is drinking on her own. This...

I have a 10 week old speckled sussex who has always been a bit of a runt. Smaller than the others and very friendly and docile. I picked her up this past Friday, and she did not want to be held. She squirmed out of my hands, and must have landed wrong. She squawked and ran into a corner of the...
