    Impacted crop?

    I spent the day massaging my girls crop, which was firm but able to be maneuvered with the help of coconut oil (I put it liberally over some scrambled eggs, along with the contents of a 100mg docusate sodium soft gel. She didn’t eat the entire dish but I think got enough to help). Her crop went...

    Impacted crop?

    Hello everyone, quick question : I noticed my lavender Orpington was having green poop (picture attached) for the past 3 days. Sometime liquid, sometime pudding like, and sometime with chunks of feed in it. She is not eating any veg so it not her diet. Her looks and behavior are normal (she is...

    Hey everyone, looking for some insight! My 11 week old olive egger was acting nice and normal today when suddenly she shook her head so violently (almost like a convulsion) that she lost balance and was making distressed noises. She did this twice in the span of a few minutes, but then not...

    Lavender Orpington Runt?

    Baby chick hernia?

    This makes a lot more sense than a hernia, since its clearly expanding with her breathing. Thank you so much for that insight, I never would have thought of that!

    Baby chick hernia?

    Hello all! This barred rock baby chick has had the same (what I imagine to be) hernia on her bottom since I got her at three days old. She's not bothered by it in the least - she's very active and friendly and curious. She doesn't fuss with it and no one pokes at it - she eats, drinks, and poops...

    Lavender Orpington Runt?

    Hi, new chick mom here! I have 2 lavender orpington chicks that I picked up from a local farm on 3/19, and they both are much smaller compared to the Olive Eggers/Barred Rocks/Buff Orpington chick that I got the same day same place. I was told they were all around 3 days old when I got them but...
