    Lethargic 6 wk button

    So today, one of my lightbulbs went out on the heat lamp for my button hen. She got cold and lethargic, but I warned her up with her brother and a heat lamp that I had an addition. I gave her more food and water, a new heatlamp, and had to go to work. Now it is 11:02 PM, and she is still...

    I raise all of my chickens as pets, eggs are secondary. Anyway, Skye is about four now, an Orpington. She's my favorite and my oldest girl since her sisters have passed. She is normally quite rambunctious and picks on the others but has always been gentle and cuddlier to me. She's going through...

    Hen suddenly ill - staggering, not eating, not drinking, very sleepy

    Hello - we rescued 4 commercial barn hens 3 weeks ago (our first ever). 1 has been bullied badly (ironic as she is the largest, with most feathers - but is also the most timid and very sweet) and we have had to intervene a couple of times. The last 2 nights we’ve gone to lock them in the coop...

    Weak chicks!

    About two days ago, 3 chicks hatched under a hen. They were on day 23. The first one was pushed out, but we did manage to save it (and now it is happily pipping, eating and drinking) the second hatched with no problem, but when we looked at it. It seemed quite weak. It sits like a penguin and...

    SOS! Hen Suddenly Lethargic

    This morning my normally bossy, loudmouthed, super hungry, energetic hen (who happens to be the boss of the flock) was standing very still with pale combs and wattles. She wasn't interested in me coming out which was a red flag, nor was she responsive to treats--another HUGE red flag. Just last...
