underweight hen

Hi there, my 11 Mo. old BR hen started limping over a week ago… started out as a slight limp on her left leg, within hours she went to not walking on it at all and sitting down in the yard after a few steps so I separated her from the rest of the flock. After separating her I noticed worms in...

Hello, I have a female hen (about a year old) who I'm pretty sure has some type of internal parasites/worms and was hoping I could get some insight on others experience with using treatments like VetRx or Verm-x (or other recommendations you may have). About a month ago I noticed that she was...

Hello! The hen I posted about recently, Rhody, is feeling much skinnier than normal. She has been a big, healthy hen all her life—she is two and a half—but about a week ago, I noticed her losing weight. For a few days, her comb was slightly floppy and discoloured, but with some electrolytes and...

I’m not sure if they are coming out of molt or if there’s something else to be concerned about like depluming mites. I’ve relocated 7 hens, about 15-18 months and one about 2 1/2 years. They have some bald patches I’m not sure about. I’m treating the older one with ivermectin for SLM and dealing...

I have a problem hen named Penny. She is a BA who is 4 years old. I have long suspected her of a reproductive disorder, because she has had bouts of lethargy and illness before. But this time is a bit different because Penny is eying and drinking perfectly, , and she even looks alert, keeping...
