digestion

So pretty straight forward question as titled. As opposed to my wife throwing out fennel seeds since she never uses them, I did a search in the forums and found it can be useful for impacted crops. Since none of my flock is impacted. I wonder if anyone knows or has experience serving a dish...

I am at a loss...and just don't know what to do now. We have a grown bourbon red hen turkey that has the following symptoms... She was laying eggs until about a week or so ago. I didn't notice any egg binding or prolapse that needed treatment during this time. We first noticed a full crop...

My 3-4 month old chick was beaten up badly yesterday after her siblings attacked her and pecked him badly around the head and neck. Her wounds are VERY bad and she has been pretty weak so we’ve been feeding her some food mixed with water. While feeding her, we noticed that her tongue kept...

I have a three-week-old tom poult who swallowed a small piece of plastic. (A syringe cap: no sharp edges, about half an inch long.) I contacted our vet and he believed it would "handle itself." I have him isolated for monitoring. His appetite is excellent, acts like he feels fine, drinks...

My hen, Bernie, is hopefully on the mend from flystrike. We have her in the house for as long as it takes for the exposed flesh to heal. How often does she need to have access to small rocks for her digestive health?

Hello, chicken world! Its been so long since I've had a sick chook, I was hoping to keep my streak up! I have an approximately 1.5-year-old Belgian D'uccle weighing around300-400g. She has been having some crop issues for a while now and I have run out of ideas to fix them. First, I thought...

Hello again! Maybe a week and a half ago I posted on here about my sick hen. I gathered some great advise from some very informative people here. I thought that I had cured her. Well fast forward to now. She is not eating many different foods, mostly only apples. She isn't drinking much. I've...

Hi there, This is probably a little silly, but I am on my first flock and still figuring out what is normal. I noticed that after my pullets range sometimes there are visible blades of grass in their droppings, like a fair amount of recognizable grass. Is this common, or does it suggest...

Our three oldest hens - all almost 5 months old - have had diarrhea for a while now. I've looked up some suggestions, and I am currently working on the following: Changing their water source (as the current one is dripping, attracting flies and getting their food wet) Deworming them (I haven't...

I have a week and a half old olive egger chick ( I believe she is a cross between and easter egger and a black maran by her looks) who spends most of her time sitting on the floor of the brooder. when she does walk she is a bit slow and has a slightly wobbly gait. on closer inspection she...

One of my laying hens has an extremely enlarged gullet. I picked her up and I can feel the Grain and food in it and noticed that the feathers are gone off the bottom of it, it is pink skin showing. I'm worried that she's not digesting her food or getting any nourishment. She seems to act just...
