I really need advice

[Sweet Road Island Reds]

Is it safe to keep her eggs if she lays any at all? I haven’t noticed her laying lately

 

[Davethebirdman]

I wouldn’t

 

[Sweet Road Island Reds]

I wouldn’t

Okay I only ask because I know some medicine says you shouldn’t eat them but I’m going to wait till tomorrow morning and see how she is before I order anything she didn’t eat which makes sense why her poop is soupy and clear & white

That’s what happens when they have a bug. Put antibiotics in the water. I always have them. The second I see that I add it to the water. You’ve waited too long

How do I know there’s not something wrong with her crop I guess I’ll look an Amazon

If you haven’t tried antibiotics immediately it could be too late anyway. A chickens system that is older can only handle so much stress. That’s why I always treat them immediately.

I would call your local feed store and explain it to them. They can recommend what they think.

I’m already going tomorrow for chicken feed so I’ll look around

I’ve noticed that some Rhode Islands are prone to diarrhea. It could be a breeding symptom I don’t know. The birds today have been so pumped up on hormones and bred so intensely they are all screwed up in so many ways. They don’t even act like normal chickens 30 years ago.
