    Wyandotte bantam not eating well

    We have a flock of four bantams, different breeds and all have been treated for worm recently with a follow up treatment after two weeks one week ago. Corid is not available here but there are many other product brands so I will do as you suggest and let you know the result. Thanks for your help.

    Wyandotte bantam not eating well

    Hi all, not sure if I am in the correct forum. My Wyandotte bantam of 36 weeks has not laid and is eating very little, fluffed feathers and slow moving. Poop is sometimes watery overnight. Any suggestions as to what may be going on with her. We are currently in last days of first month of spring.

    Diarrhea

    Hi All Leghorn bantam that lays an egg a day produced this poop last night on the roost. Noticed through the day that she had become very quiet and not eating as usual. The only other variant noticed is the speckling of the comb. Any suggestion and advice on treating is more than welcome.

    Leg Injury, can chickens say ouch

    I have now read a little on bathing and in the absence of swelling I will hold the bath. If swelling does eventuate to lower level of the leg, perhaps I can try a very careful immersion.

    Shade house

    Thanks for your reply. We get hot summers average 28c frequently in 30c. Overall average is 21c. Understand the shredding and have no real concerns, we will adjust to the hens free ranging habits by protecting susceptible plants. Added detail to profile.
