For the most part, a mix of grains and seeds, and whatever they find out in the yard (bugs, small animals, grass, weeds, etc.) but I also occasionally make scrambled eggs with shells when there are leftovers in the fridge. They also get table scraps as treats. They used to get layer pellets and...

Update: she has a small fracture in one of her joints. It is likely that she could be deficient in calcium and quality food, so we are changing that by getting layer pellets and possibly oyster shells to boost her calcium intake. I’m annoyed that this could have been prevented if my parents had...

Just got back from the vet. It turns out she has a fracture at one of her joints. It’s small, and has the potential to heal over time if she is kept in a crate with just food and water. However, if she doesn’t get better, she will likely be euthanized because of her quality of life being...

She seems to not be doing any better today. She doesn’t walk (unless she’s chased away or bothered) and prefers to hide away in the bushes. She’s still very much responsive and willing to eat/drink, and is wide awake most of the time. I spent 30-45 minutes with her this morning, stroking her...

Considering Olive (chicken in question) tends to be very rough and rowdy with everything, I wouldn’t be surprised if she hurt herself on absolutely nothing. She once even scabbed up her beak on the wire of the coop because she wouldn’t stop rubbing on it while in there. That being said, I would...

I did just that when I first saw her limping. At first, I thought that she could have stepped on something painful, and when I get it out, she’ll be fine (albeit unamused with me causing pain) Absolutely no outward injuries. I felt up and down her leg and foot to see if I’ll catch any blood...

My 2 year old barred rock hen won’t put any weight on one of her legs. I first noticed just 30 minutes ago when I went out to see my girls, and I saw that she was laying down. I felt her leg and foot, but I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary, but at the same time, I don’t know what...
