Thank you!

Any suggestions on what one I should get?

Final update. I had to cull the hen because she was suffering and wasting away. I could feel her breast bone about an inch back, she was just bone and no muscle despite constantly having availability to the chick feed.

There were times it seemed like the poop was yellow but I didn't know if it was just some of the green mixing with the white and then it drying up. Should she be culled if she is internally laying?

She has not been producing eggs for around 2 months now. I have been giving her vitamins, I will try the oregano!

She had seemed to have gotten better one morning and then went right back to being hunched over and having little to no interest in eating. I don't kmow what to do with her now, she has been sick for at least a month.

It is never enjoyable when you have sick chickens and I wish you the best of luck with journaling on your chicken's well-being!

I wish you the best of luck with the silkies. Those are a breed I plan on getting at some point, they are excellent mamas and are pretty chickens.

I will give her a little bit of scrambled eggs and see how that goes. Make sure you get the buckeye from a good breeder because there have been multiple people on here telling me that there are some buckeyes that have perfect genetics and they don't lose any buckeyes from anything other than...

Could my hen benefit from scrambled eggs? Or just stick strictly to chick feed and nothing else? I did not know that they need more protein, the more you know!

I got mine from TSC.

A crop problem is the issue I have been thinking but there have been some diagnoses of reproductive issues as well. This morning I felt her crop and it felt like it wasn't there so I am hoping the epsom salt flush I done yesterday helped. I am assuming the lethargy and being down is from her...

@AGeese I used Roosty's Natural Dewormer pills. They can be found on Amazon. They got their last pill on the 12th. I started deworming because I found a dropping with maybe 2 or 3 bits of roundworm in it so I started the deworming process. My sick hen was inside when the worms showed themselves.

I syringe feed like that minus the bacon fat on the end. Shoving a syringe or tube down a chicken's throat is not something I am willing to experiment with because it can easily go to the wrong place. Chickens are such delicate creatures and I don't want to hurt them.

04/22/24 Hen Update I have started trying epsom salt flushing for my hen's crop issues. That is paired with only feeding her chick feed and giving her Poly-Vi-Sol, Vet-R-X, and ACV. When I massaged her crop before I gave her some epsom salt, she done something like a burp, twice, and it felt...

I syringe feed it to my hen. I do not trust myself to do the tube feeding. Is it still an epsom salt flush if I do it with a syringe?

That is what I hope. I also done the epsom salt flush as well this morning. How often should I do an epsom salt flush?

I have been giving her chick feed to eat. She has not had much of an appetite but she has been eating a little which is better than nothing.

Whenever I induced vomiting on her I found milo in her vomit. Do you think milo could be blocking her up?
