    Droopy tail, lethargic hen, stinky watery green poops help!

    Thanks so much! I’ll check her crop in the morning, it was a little puddle of clear fluid. No bad smells from her beak when pressed. I’ll give that a read now thank you. We brought her in last night and She’s been back out with the others today, is continuing to eat and drink although stands...

    Swollen foot with no visible lesion

    Ouch poor thing it does look sore!! I’ve no experience of bumblefoot, so cant really comment on that I’m afraid!! Are the lumps squishy or hard? I think if it was me I’d probably try and Epsom salt water soak the foot to try and ease the swelling and then apply an ointment! Sorry can’t be of...

    I’m glad he seems to be recovering!! A good few more days and hopefully he will be able to roost as normal 🤞

    HELP!! My chicken was attacked by my dog.

    If he seems happier out there then you have, the laying down and tiredness I would say is likely just to be from the events of the day and his leg. He is acting just as our girl was when she had a run in with a cat/fox in the garden, she came in the house for a check up and snooze then went back...

    HELP!! My chicken was attacked by my dog.

    If he hasn’t got any puncture wounds I’d say it’s unlikely to be an infection, he may of sprained his leg whilst running away. You’re doing the right thing encouraging him to drink, keeping him somewhere safe, dark and quiet too will likely help with the stress. May sound crazy but soothe him...

    Sick hen with weird green poop

    I think DE has mixed reviews for worming, we used Flubenvet here in the U.K., you can buy it already mixed in a layers feed, or as a powder to dose yourself. There are a number of really good de worming posts on this forum, so give it a good search! I’ve recently had a similar issue with our...

    Sudden stop in laying

    That’s Jedstar, I don’t think they’ve ever been wormed, I’m based in UK and we’re having weird weather it’s gone from 20/25C down to 10 and lower.

    Sudden stop in laying

    I don’t think they’ve ever been wormed, forgot to say, on checking out chicken poop pics with worms in them it was definitely Round worms in the poop, looked like white spaghetti!

    Sudden stop in laying

    Thanks for your response, yes we got at point of lay and we’re laying until suddenly stopping. When we initially got them we kept them in their run for a week to learn home and we’re getting eggs routinely. We are using same feed as they were having, purchased alongside them. I’ll put some grit...

    Hi CCUK! Nice to meet another relatively close by chicken keeper!! To be honest I’m not entirely sure, I think they’re just commercial browns of varying shades! What about you?
