    Yellow/Watery Poop in 3 y.o. Hen

    Kale and spinach contain calcium blockers (oxalates), it's fine in small amounts, once a week but too much blocks the bodies ability to absorb calcium, which causes laying issues. Is she standing funny?

    Yellow/Watery Poop in 3 y.o. Hen

    Kale isn't good for chicken though I don't think that's your problem. Can you feel between her legs for any swelling/squishiness?

    Found hen on the floor, can’t stand, keeps twisting/moving neck back/around, help :(

    Cut everything that isn't feed. Everything else is chicken junk food, it's causing major health issues.

    Found hen on the floor, can’t stand, keeps twisting/moving neck back/around, help :(

    Are you able to get chicken feed, not scratch? If possible, I'd cut back or cut out the corn and rice, neither help her. Vitamin E also, you can get any brand from the grocery or drug store.

    Found hen on the floor, can’t stand, keeps twisting/moving neck back/around, help :(

    What's your birds diet? You can try vitamin therapy, I'd it isn't a toxin or a severe neurologist event, it might help. 400i.u vitamin e capsule and a third of a B complex tablet every day for a few weeks.

    Sick hen

    I'm sorry to hear that. What's her age? Diet? Has she laid recently? Any trauma, chased by dogs, a scuffle in the flock?

    4 week old Australorp pullet… with HUGE legs??

    Behavior and leg width aren't good indication of gender. It could be a late bloomer or a pullet.

    Egg sex experiment

    There was someone who did this a few weeks ago. The shape of egg thing is a old wives tale. What the egg is, is actually what we call the yolk, the shape of the shell that encapsulates the yolk has everything to do with to state of the individual hens reproductive tract and none with the gender...

    Oops, 17% protein feed?

    I'd honestly return it if you haven't opened it, it likely won't hurt them but 17% is a little low. Mealworms won't do much to boost protein but tuna or meat will.

    Oops, 17% protein feed?

    How old are your birds? Is it also a layer feed?

    New rescue chicken in cage may be sick and passed something to my flock that killed one this morning- HELP!

    Unfortunately, this is why any new birds must be completely quarantined from an existing flock for a month. There's no telling what/if she has anything to pass to the others. Ok, moving on. It could be coincidence, so what type of symptoms are you seeing? What is their diet? Have your birds...
