    Hen w/ Decreased Appetite, Small Less-Frequent Stools w/ Lots of Yellowish Urates, Gas Bloating in Abdomen

    She does free-range in the yard for most of the day nearly every day. She does lots of dirt bathing, digging, sun-bathing, and free ranging all kinds of bugs. I see her all the time with dirt in her beak lol. She did have four other sisters and lived completely outdoors (slept in a coop, had a...

    Hen w/ Decreased Appetite, Small Less-Frequent Stools w/ Lots of Yellowish Urates, Gas Bloating in Abdomen

    I’ve been giving her some probiotic and vitamin/electrolyte water by dripping it into her beak w/ a syringe multiple times a day. I’m giving it to her by choice too, but she prefers to drink out of the pond lol. Is there anything else I can give her that would help? I mentioned greek yogurt to...

    Hen w/ Decreased Appetite, Small Less-Frequent Stools w/ Lots of Yellowish Urates, Gas Bloating in Abdomen

    Last addition! She had also been sneaking past the gate in the kitchen to steal some of her kitty sister’s dry cat food. I know there’s lots of protein in that, so I wonder if it could have hurt her stomach?

    I found yellow urates

    I have a hen who has some swelling in her abdomen (vet took an X-Ray and says it’s gas and not fluid, he’s ruling out water belly), her appetite has decreased, and her droppings have more urates and they’ve gotten a yellow tinge to them. What could this mean? More info in my most recent thread!

    Hen w/ Decreased Appetite, Small Less-Frequent Stools w/ Lots of Yellowish Urates, Gas Bloating in Abdomen

    ALSO! Once or twice I have seen her squat like she’s pooping and nothing has come out. (Granted, she has had a poopy butt and the small droppings have gotten caught in her fluff before.) But could that “pooping motion” be gas release? I know chickens don’t audibly produce flatulence like some...

    Hen w/ Decreased Appetite, Small Less-Frequent Stools w/ Lots of Yellowish Urates, Gas Bloating in Abdomen

    Hey y’all! I wanted some advice on treating my hen, Frida. She’s a five year old buff brahma hen who lives indoors and free ranges most of the day most days. She was hand raised along with her sisters, is very bonded to me and my partner, and is the sole survivor of a raccoon attack we lost both...

    my two and a half year old buff brahma hen Frida hasn’t eaten for two days now, has been not acting like herself, standing kind of hunched and fluffed up with her head near her body and her eyes closed, and only pooping clear, thick (almost mucousy) faintly reddish brown droppings with thick...

    HEN RECOVERING FROM BUMBLEFOOT BEING BULLIED BY HER SISTERS AFTER SEPARATING AND REINTRODUCING. HELP PLEASE!

    part of me is really afraid that the bullying is due to all the time she spent separate from them in the hutch in the coop. if all my girls keep being so cruel i guess she might have to go back into a separate little house so she can rest and heal. i’m just scared the other hens will tear her up...
