No we didn't have a necropsy but I did take her to an Avian vet and that's what he said. She couldn't stand up or hold up her neck. I am in southern florida and it's pretty hot these days, i read that the heat may cause them to slow down laying.
How soon would the other chickens show...
I have 4 hens that are about 9 months old and have been laying for 4 months or so. My speckled sussex Betsy hasn't laid an egg in 3 days and I'm starting to worry. I just lost one of my Blue Laced Barnvelder to Mareks and I'm scared to death the other 4 are going to get sick. She doesn't seem...
I have been giving her nutri drench and pedialyte all day today. I have 4 other chickens and I bought them from Rural King. I do not think they were vaccinated. I think she stopped laying first. I know she was eating on Monday because I fed her raisins and by Friday she was sod Kinney I could...
She is 9 months old and yes I checked her mouth and didn’t see anything noticeable. Her diarrhea is definitely greenish and I think it’s been about a week since she laid an egg. I’m going to try the mash, she ate the scrambled eggs this morning but wouldn’t eat any this afternoon. What should I...

I’ve also checked to make sure she’s not eggbound and I definitely can’t feel an egg. He comb looks a little strange, it has some spots on it and is kind of dry looking. Just looking for any suggestions on helping her.
We noticed on Thursday my hen violet starting acting lethargic and not eating. She was sitting a lot and not running around. On Friday I picked her up and she is extremely thin. She was drinking on her own but she must not have been eating because her crop was empty and she was Like a bag of...
I have been giving my chicks medicated started from day one and was wondering when i should start the grower? Can I mix it with the starter? I read that starter has a lot of protein and chicks shouldn't eat it past 8 weeks or they may start to lay to early. I'm a first time chickie momma and I...
Thank you so much. Yes, they are getting grit now. The chick starter i had them on was medicated but I switched to a starter/grower that i don't think is medicated. Her crop always feels smaller than the rest, the rest of them have full crops all the time. Mix the yogurt or buttermilk with...
She is eating but definitely not as much as the other ones. Someone has loose dark brown droppings with no white. I am not sure if it's her but it probably is.
I am a first time chicken momma and I have 5- 5 week old hens. i have one Buff Orphington (Buffy), one Amerucana (Dottie), one Bluelaced Barnvelder (Violet), one Speckled Sussex (Betsy) and one Barred Rock (Queenie). They have all been doing so good and are getting very big. We started to move...
