    Lethargic hens crop won’t empty

    Sofía passed about twenty minutes after I checked on her. I did take pictures of eve try thing before she died I just forgot to post them, they won’t be much help anymore. I can still post them if you’d like though. She seemed pretty far gone I don’t think there was much I could do. Before she...

    Lethargic hens crop won’t empty

    I just got home and checked her she’s not bloated, she pooped but it was yellow and got in her feathers. Her crop is smaller and softer so it seems like it emptied a bit but not completely. She’s laying on her side and still breathing heavily. She didn’t eat or drink but I drippled water into...

    Lethargic hens crop won’t empty

    I will, Sofia did throw up about a week ago, I assumed it was from drinking too much water because of how hot it is because another chicken threw up too. Could this be related?

    Lethargic hens crop won’t empty

    She is a rescue so I don’t know how old she is or when she laid her first egg, I’ve had her about three years. Her eye probably is a sign of respitory illness because she has mycoplasma. I did feel that her keel bone was a bit prominent but I forgot to check her abdomen so I’ll do that and get...

    Lethargic hens crop won’t empty

    When I went to feed and water my flock this morning I noticed that my hen Sofia was still on the roosts, she also wasn’t standing on it she was laying down so I picked her up and put her on the ground where she immediately just lay down again. I put some food infront of her and she wouldn’t eat...

    Urgent Help needed! Something attacked my flock. Injured chickens and Guineas need dosage for amoxicillin.

    Are you able to monitor and treat the birds outside easily, that’s the important thing. Are they in a different area than before, you want to make sure they’re somewhere safe are safe from another attack.

    Urgent Help needed! Something attacked my flock. Injured chickens and Guineas need dosage for amoxicillin.

    Are you able to get pictures of the wounds? Do you have anything like vetericyn to put on the wounds. I would put the birds in a quiet low stress area preferably inside if you can for template regulation and to avoid any pestering from insects on the wounds.

    What is this in my egg

    I cracked this egg and saw these tiny dots in it, I’m trying to figure out if this is just a normal thing that happens from time to time, if this means the egg is fertile, or if I need to fix something diet wise. I also want to double check that these are safe to eat.

    Hen threw up.

    I’ve been giving them cold water before bed, and I also set up a better fan in the coop to cool it down because the small one I had in there before was not working and I haven’t seen any chickens throw up since i started doing this. Thank you all for the advice and knowledge I’m sure my hens...

    Hen threw up.

    Ok, I’ll make sure to do this tomorrow, but that does make sense especially on these hot days when it around 81F when they go to roost.

    Hen threw up.

    The hen I started this post about has not thrown up again, but tonight I had a different hen named Sophia throw up. I checked her and nothing seemed to be wrong put she has been panting a lot today so I was wondering if the throwing up could be from heat stress?

    Hen threw up.

    I checked her crop this morning and it was empty. She’s still acting normal, so I’ll just keep an eye on her and leave her alone unless anything changes.

    Hen threw up.

    I was putting my flock to bed and one of my hens just threw up. I know this isn’t normal so I looked her over but everything seemed normal, her crop was empty, she has an appetite, she’s not bloated, her comb looks fine, and she’s been acting normal all day. The only thing I noticed that was...

    URGENT hen with potential water belly not eating or drinking

    Thank you, I may consider doing my own necropsy in the future but I still haven’t culled a chicken my self before so I don’t know if I could handle it. All this information and kind words were greatly appreciated.
