    5ish year old Brahma hen

    She definitely thinks so too haha! 😂 Me too! She seems okay today, I threw down some food and she went right to eating. Fingers crossed she's on the mend. Seems to be moving around just fine. And sounds good I'll lay off the worms and get her to eat her main poultry feed!

    5ish year old Brahma hen

    I have an exciting update! She ate on her own today, her crop is not completely full but certainly exciting to see. I have no new additions to my flock. I did have to rehome a young rooster several months ago because he was picking on her. After he was gone she went back to normal and started...

    Thank you for that information! My feed has 18 percent protein. I've been giving her super worms and meal worms as a protein boost. I'm hoping she will perk up soon and start eating her feed again. I've been syringe feeding water/ mineral booster as well once a day after work

    5ish year old Brahma hen

    That's a really good question. I will look at the bag once I get home from work! Thank you! What protein percentage do people usually like to feed?

    5ish year old Brahma hen

    Thank you very much for that information! I will get that instead. I believe she already molted... All my other ones have molted and are back to normal with their feathers grown back. But I'd say they just finished up molting in the last couple of weeks. I really appreciate the replies!

    I had no idea about the ivermectin. What would you suggest for me to use instead? I just double checked with my mom. It's a layer feed. She buys it from the elevator by us and they mix and grind the feed there then bag it. It's a winter mix, they free range in the summer and don't eat much of...

    My mom buys cornmash/layer feed. But they also get scratch grains in hay to scratch around in during these boring winter months. They have access to grit and calcium. And I also have a pecking block that they enjoy

    5ish year old Brahma hen

    My mom uses ivermectin drops. And we go by the weight of the chicken for how many drops they need. My brahma is underweight, so I only did one drop to be safe.... Not sure if that is okay. I did check for mites/lice and she is clean of those! And no injuries that I can see on her... About a...

    5ish year old Brahma hen

    I believe she stopped laying this summer. I've had her inside for a couple days so far and no eggs from her. She moves around well and not acting eggbound. They were dewormed last year, but I did end up deworming her last night just to rule all that out.

    5ish year old Brahma hen

    Hey everyone, I use to be a frequent member but it's been a few years now. I'm helping to care for my mom's small flock and getting back into raising chickens for eggs/pets. My brahma is roughly 5 years old and has stopped eating. She acts interested in food but just won't eat enough to sustain...
