    Fall/winter feed

    Good to know - thanks! I feel a little bad that I have giving them such low protein - although they go out most days and eat whatever they find in the woods/yard (including, horrifically, small toads) and also get canned fish 1x a week and bsf daily.

    Fall/winter feed

    Oh ok, good to know. I guess I have been (stupidly) feeding them low protein food for their entire lives (3.5 years)... I will fix that asap. Appreciate the info!

    Fall/winter feed

    I know that this has been discussed but I cant find the answer I need so. I am looking for higher protein feed for fall (molting) into winter (Maine) for my 6 hens. I added turkey feed last season but they pick out and it isnt organic or non-GMO, which I prefer (most especially I do not want...

    Hen making weird head movements

    So I am just updating this thread months later. Sweetie did not get better on her own or with the various things I tried. After calling a dozen vets, I found one who sees hens and he made an incision, took out a wad of grass from her crop, sowed her up and she has been as good as gold -- back to...

    Monistat for Sour Crop?

    Hi again - my hen still has sour or impacted crop. She still eats And drinks but constantly or almost constantly twists her neck around. I got some copper sulfate — my question is if I put this in the water is it ok for my other 5 healthy hens to drink it too?

    Monistat for Sour Crop?

    It seems to have gone down somewhat but not all the way - it feels squishy and she is vomiting. I didnt know that about the garlic so I will stop. Do you think adding molasses to the water would be useful? is that ok for my other 5 hens to drink too?

    Monistat for Sour Crop?

    My hen Sweetie has sour crop. I have tried giving yogurt (unpasteur), garlic, ACV, and causing her to vomit. She is not getting any better - this mroning I actually saw her vomit just while scratching around so maybe even worse. I have to go for a work trip for 1 week so I need to help her asap...

    Hen making weird head movements

    Hmm, well an old neighbor who has had chickens for 40 years recommended it so...And she (my hen) is totally fine, even a little better. I cant find a vet to see her so I need to manage it myself.

    Hen making weird head movements

    Sweetie definitely has sour crop but I dont know if it is impacted as well. I tipped her upside down yesterday and htis morning and she did vomit a little bit of noxious fluid. Her crop did seem a little smaller today but she is almost constantly doing the head motion and is only eating a...

    Hen making weird head movements

    Appreciate the tips. I have only had hens for 3 years and this the first medical issues to pop up. I am especially worried as I need to go on a work trip week after next for the whole week and my husband cant really do what I am doing and can barely tell the birds apart. :)

    Hen making weird head movements

    I do give the birds grit. She was up in the roost but so far I havent seen an egg from her but I am not totally sure (I have 6 hens). I gave her some lumps of coconut oil which she gobbled up. Interesting about the hen that had an enlarged crop for years. I do feel that sweetie is a little off...

    Hen making weird head movements

    I am pretty sure that she does have some kind of crop issues because it was full before she ate this morning. I am trying to massage it but doesnt seem to help. But at least for the moment she's continuing to eat/drink/furiously kick leaves looking for worms so I will let her be. Hopefully it...
