Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Hinotori]

That was the reaction she had when a slug had the nerve to crawl around in the nest that she wanted to lay in.

Oh good grief that was over a slug?
ok reinforces I need to clip wings on birds before they have the garden as a new run

 

[junebuggena]

I think she may have overreacted a tad bit...

 

[pennyJo1960]

gee I do not like slugs either but do not have wings
I actually am getting more blue and green eggs than brown now
but also have have added two new egg customers as
we get about 13 a day

I have a sick chicken. I posted a thread in the health section. I've never had a sick one before and I'm scared. She's not eating, is skinny, her crop is almost empty, and I found her laying in the nest box instead of up on the roost tonight. I brought her indoors in a dog crate with food that I soaked and with water with electrolytes. I don't know what to do. :-(

first please tell me what breed she is.. second age... third is she eating.. drinking, pooping
what color and consistence

 

[Leigti]

She is about one year old, Easter Egger from a hatchery. She is not eating much at all from what I can tell. Don't know about drinking but she hasn't drank anything since I put her in the dog crate. Her comb is red. Her tummy feels soft and she doesn't act like she's in pain when I poke around at it. I'm not sure when she last laid an egg but I know it has been within the last four or five days.

 

[Hinotori]

Im not sure what could be wrong with her.

I tube birds that aren't willingly eating with thin baby parrot food.

 

[junebuggena]

Does she have a bare belly?

 

[Leigti]

Her tummy is not bear. I have a smorgasbord put down in front of her, she has been eating a little bit of the egg.
