I am definitely keeping everyone in the world in my thoughts with this heat! Even in the northern parts of the USA it’s still quite hot, and definitely hotter than normal. The worst part is we haven’t had any rain in months. Not even a drizzle or sprinkle! Which makes the what much more...

Thank you! I appreciate this community so much. I’ve really been blessed by everyone’s consistent knowledge and willingness to share it. I’m keeping a close eye on the one I worry for. After day 5 I’ll pump them up with those b vitamins. Any idea on the dosage? I know you mentioned a few tabs...

Thank you so so so so much. I’ve added the vitamin c dosage for everyone’s water as I have the two that get picked on the most separated while I am at work and cannot supervise. But everyone has vitmain c, wormer as well. I’m excited to see the improvements more and more. And blast this awful...

I have endocox I’ll use for the most affected one, thank you for the advice!

Thank you! She’s more active today after one day of dewormer. I hope that internal parasites are the issue and that with full treatment, she will be okay. The coop is super ventilated, most sides of it are not wood but the hardware cloth. I will check at night for the mites you mentioned I have...

Well gosh now I don’t know! The mornings here are cool. I notice that she still does the plunking down in her favorite spots but she’s definitely awake. She gets up and walks around a bit to forage, get a drink from the waterer and when she’s plopped down, she doesn’t appear to be stressed. She...

So not a good idea to bring the most troubled inside?

Should I bring in the one that is the most troubled looking? The one that sleeps the most and does not want to use her legs? To see if she improves?

Does heat stroke present in bright green poops? Hm…and should I be moving the chickens indoors? I don’t have safe electrical wiring to run a fan out there. Also, does heat stroke also give them a death time stamp of 7-1 days and less use of legs?

Thank you so so much for this! I will ge the direct vitamins as well. I do have rooster booster electrolytes and manna pro brand electrolytes which smells super sweet like marshmallows. They’ve been in heat stress all summer with some provisions I provide to keep cool. They are 100% shaded in...

She stays in an outdoor coop with a flock mate she gets along with so she’s not lonely. while the other 4 are in the outdoor run. Food: organic layer feed pellets she used to love, wet or dry. Treats: it’s by the brand flock party and it has black sunflower seeds, and a few other grains. I...

I also have human vitamin c powder, do you know dosage for that per gallon? Is squeezing some lemon juice in there okay to do?

Thank you! Her not wanting to eat as much, and not wanting to forage or use her legs barely at all, and sleeping worries me. I actually began a routine dewormer today. But I feel she is declining more. After the 5 day worming, should I boost her up with vitamins meant to strengthen her legs?

Hey everyone, I lost a 22 week old pullet to I don’t know what. From noticing her initial symptoms to day of death, it was 7 days. Their feed is organic. Their water gets replaced twice a day because it’s so hot, I have to replenish with cooler water. I HAD 7 chickens, I now have 6. Only 1 is...

I disposed of her body. She was a pretty heavy weighted girl and ate healthily. I would have to drive her 4 hours away to the state lab that accepts them. My vet told me that when I got a routine fecal check couple months ago. Can I ask one more question? I noticed my speckled Sussex very...
