    Bloated bottom... AGAIN!

    Hen with poopy butt & sluggish

    I have a hen that has just been acting... off. She has had some runny poo that's now stuck on her feathers. Also, she's been acting sluggish. Still eating & drinking, but she's walking with her tail pointed down instead of up, like all my other girls. 🤔 I don't entirely blame her, it's been in...

    Treating hen for ascites

    Hey everybody, I posted yesterday about my chicken being sick and we came to the consensus that she was suffering from ascites. I just performed the liquid withdrawal procedure with a syringe and got 105ml(3.5 fl oz) out of her(well within the safe range). Unfortunately, I had to stick her 3...

    Normal molting behavior?

    My barred rock Willow is going through her first adult molt (she’s 18 months old). She had bare spots on her back from the rooster over the summer, which have filled in nicely since she’s been molting since maybe mid August and the rooster is now separated. She recently lost her tail feathers...

    Bloated, slow moving chicken with dirty butt

    We noticed a Saturday AM that a three yr old Speckled Sussex looks like a balloon and was moving very slowly. A few hours later she was lying down when the other 9 were not. I did as much research as I could and decided to give her a bath because her butt was dirty and maybe it was vent...
