    Chicken acting sick

    I have a black australorp hen who I found standing where my chickens hang out off to the side with her eyes closed and sort of puffed up feathers.

    So recently I had a Rhode Island Red get a vent prolapse. I had never dealt with it before, but after two weeks of treatment she was back to her usual self! I was so excited.
