I just bought a polish chick today who isn’t standing or walking. She just sleeps and lays down. If one of the other girls steps on her she’ll slide over and they push her to food and water.

I need advice on this asap.. Our hen seems to be having some issues. She is believed to be a brahma, maybe 8 years.(Minimum? Not sure.) Seeing as we know that is fairly old for a chicken, we suspect she may be dying of old age, but we aren't sure.

My 3 year old Ameraucana hen won't stand or walk. When I went to the coop I found her just sitting in a corner of the run. She has green and yellow/white diarrhea on the feathers under her vent. Her crop felt empty. I brought her in and put her in warm water for about 15 minutes. I felt as far...
I am really new to chickens. We just got six chicks about a week ago! Five of them are doing great-- cheeping and eating and pooping and running around like nobody's business. I started noticing a few days ago that one of them (Janice) is not doing so hot however. She seemed way weaker and less...
