    Hen not acting well hasn't eaten or drank for at least 1 day.

    Thank you for all your help! She ended up passing away this morning, and I fully suspect sour crop.

    Hen not acting well hasn't eaten or drank for at least 1 day.

    Ok, thank you! That yellow thing is just a piece of scrambled egg that I dropped lol! If she is egg-bound, wouldn't she have passed away by now, since it's been at least 2 months? Her crop feels soft and squishy.

    Hen not acting well hasn't eaten or drank for at least 1 day.

    Hello! My 4-year-old easter egger has been acting unhealthy for the past 2 weeks. In the beginning she was just not pooping but was acting normal then within the last week she has become lethargic and weak. I've given her multiple Epsom salt baths to clean up her butt and help her with...

    Hen picks up legs to her chest to walk

    Ok, thank you all! How do I properly check her crop and what am I feeling for? I've tried before with other hens and I didn't really know what it should feel like. I will post pictures too.

    Hen picks up legs to her chest to walk

    Hello! My almost 5-year-old Buff Orpington is picking her legs all the way up to her chest to take a step. She's not walking often and spends most of her time on the roost. She is eating when she comes down and I usually take her down from the roost in the morning. She will start pacing the top...

    Hen is acting normal but has not pooped or laid an egg in 4 days.

    Hello! My 4-year-old easter egger hen recently started acting weird. I noticed she was in the coop all day and standing with her neck stretched out and her tail down. It looked like a very mild penguin stance but slightly different. I lost my rooster on Wednesday, and I noticed this behavior on...

    Roosters comb is discolored and he looks unhealthy

    Yes, he did. That's interesting, I did some research when I got him and found that it would be safe to give him layer pellets. But maybe that was the problem, thank you! I use packback layer pellets which contain 17% crude protein so maybe he was lacking protein?

    Roosters comb is discolored and he looks unhealthy

    I feed them all layer pellets which they always have access to, and I give them a mix of mealworms, black-oiled sunflower seeds, and oyster shells once a day as a treat. Is there any reason why these foods could cause sickness? I was not able to check his crop or his poop before he died.

    Roosters comb is discolored and he looks unhealthy

    Thank you for all your help. He passed away this morning when I went out to the coop. He was acting normal on Monday so whatever it was it came on fast and I guess there wasn't anything I could've done to prevent it. I will do some research on how to treat my hens for worms or other parasites...

    Roosters comb is discolored and he looks unhealthy

    I have 4 good sized windows but I keep them closed during the winter and I also keep the main human door closed to keep the heat from the lamp inside. The small chicken door is the only thing open to the air and that is closed for 8 hours every night. If it is frostbite would it affect his...

    Roosters comb is discolored and he looks unhealthy

    Hello! My almost 3-year-old Buff Orpington rooster is acting different, and I noticed that his comb looks floppy as well as purply/gray in some spots. There has been a sudden temperature drop in my area so maybe that is why, (it is now getting down to 18 degrees at night and around 35 during the...

    Hen opening and closing mouth, looks sickly maybe gaping

    She is improving but I’m starting to suspect that the problem is worms. Looking at the fenbendazole safeguard, which one should I get? I see one for goats and one for equine.
