Our girls - we got them in May - have been laying until recently. It's pretty cold here (Wisconsin!!) and we don't heat the coop - 2 have still been laying...
I went out the other day and spent some time out there talking to the girls and noted that one Ameracauna - Cinderella - was kind of lethargic. Then I noticed that she had ice on her feathers by her crop and ice around her face feathers. None of the other chickens did...
I went out again today and noticed she had very runny poop. But her butt looks fine - it's not covered....
I am hoping it was in isolated incident. Then I saw that under the part of the roost that she sits on has alot of gray-ish frozen water/poo on it....
I'm going to try some yogurt and what? oatmeal? cooked?

I would really hate to loose her! She is our 5 year olds hen....

I'm open for any good ideas!

I have some Ivermectin to de-worm them with, should I do that now?
How long until we can eat the eggs after Ivermectin?

Thanks!
Enjoy thew snow!!!!

To de worm use chopped raw garlic for three days.Add it to sdd/chopped carrot and cooked brown rice.
:eek: Holistic is the better way to go. For more help you can contact --Wolf Creek Ranch-- They have a phone # 1-951-674-0921.
They have been a valuable resource for my silkie chicks and have saved me many trips to the vet!!!!
