Beautiful, Becky. Charis

If the chicken is pooping, bring her inside where you can watch her, with hold all food but offer warm water with some applesauce [the kind for human babies] mixed in the water. Gently massage the crop to break things up. The last thing you want to do is have the chicken aspirate into her lungs...

I have a little Seabright hen that is acting really off. She is molting but in addition to going through a molt, the back half of her comb is dark grey/black color. I have seen her eat some in the morning but her crop is empty tonight and I noticed she just stood around during free range time...

Possums don't carry rabies so no need to euthanize the chicken. It's wouldn't be a bad idea to put the chicken on an oral antibiotic and keep a close eye on the wound. Also, it would be a good idea to enclose the area where your chjickens sleep with 1/2 inch hareware cloth because the possum...

I was readying about postin in this section last night and realized I did not head my thread in a way that was most helpfu. I want you to know that I'm sorry and will be more diligent in the future. HOestly, I was really panicked which is unusual for me as I'm asways the calm one. Plum has had...

I have just been able to reach my vet. She returned from vacation early this morning. I'm going to meet her at her clinic in a little bit and i'll let you know what she says. I really appreciate the responces. You have calmed me down. I was freaking out. Thank you. Charis

The hens were wormed 3 months ago. I have not treated them for mites as they have not been an issue here.

I'm in Portland Oregon. The things were the size of fly maggots. Pointy heads. Plum is a barred rock and 7 years old and she isn't laying any more. The wound is nasty looking and the only thing I have on hand is neosporin which I did put on her after I cleaned/plucked them off. I also started...

I went out to open up my coop about an hour ago and my beautiful Plum looked very odd. The other 2 girls were up and moving around but not her. The smell was unbelieveable in there too. I picked her up and looked her over and beneath her vent were hundreds of squirmy things that looked like...
