So when I got home from work she was completely normal again 🤷. I let her out to free range for an hour and put up the run divider. I now have her and two other smaller polish and two seramas in a coop and half the run together. I'm going to cut all treats and I know she is higher on the pecking...

So I talked with a friend that watches our chickens and she was remarking on the fact that our chickens ignore the layer feed when i put it out and always wait for the treats i tell her to throw. I usually give them (13 chickens) a half scoop of black oiled sun flow seeds and a handful of meal...

I thought maybe a calcium deficiency before as her eggs were a little thin. I have now mixed oyster shell with their layer feed and am offering them lots of meal worms as treats to up calcium. Hard to tell which eggs are hers as all 13 lay in one of two areas and I have mostly polish hens. That...

I have never seen crazy bullying going on. Just a peck here and there when they move past (no chasing or pinning etc) she is one of my smaller hens but not the smallest by far. She is also not starving. Even the vet commented on how she is definitely not a starving chicken 😂. You can not feel...

It has been a little over a month and peach was doing better. Seemed normal for the most part. However about a week ago I noticed some of the hens pecking at her and she had her head and tail down again. I shooed them and fed them and she seemed fine. She has been fine since that point until...

Thanks all for your help. Finally talked with the vet. She said that it was very odd. If she manually turned her head to the side peach would fall over and lay like she was dead before snapping out of it. She said she could repeat this behavior multiple times. She said it might be a few...

Anything is possible. She has been carrying chickens around for 3 years and she is 14. She completely freaked out when she vomited. She will be inside again tonight and probably throughout the day tomorrow. The vet was supposed to call me (I never heard from her just from the techs as she was in...

And here we are again. She was fine for about the first half hour she was home. Pecked around with the flock and held her tail up. Didn't want to eat out of my hand but are a few meal worms and went and got herself a drink. Then when my daughter took her in she spit up some meal worms and...

Well the miracle of a 100 dollar vet bill 😂. I would pay it again any day...they couldn't find anything wrong with her (despite her looking like whe was dying this morning). She did lay an egg...so maybe it was partly that? (She lays normally a few times a week). Anyway she is perfectly fine now 🤷

Thank you everyone. I don't have any fish mox but I will look into that. I am hoping we get a diagnosis. The increase respiration I only noticed when she was being handled. I will keep you guys informed when I hear from the vet.

Thank you for all of your help. She made it through the night last night and to the vet this morning where they are going to keep her until the vet can examine her. Vet tech examined her quick while I was there and did not feel any egg (so most likely not egg bound as I did not feel anything as...

Thank you! I have added that to the water. She was sleeping I think when I tried to pull her out for a picture. She didn't want off my hand but when I finally got her on the ground she just laid down. Her back is very scrunched up and her tail is down. She did poop but it doesn't look healthy. I...

Thank you! I will go buy that in the morning! I am not sure when she last laid. We have 13 hens and 2 nesting boxes. I can't tell the difference between the polish eggs.

Hello everyone! My favorite hen was acting sick tonight when. I let her out. I am not sure what to do. I gave her a bath which she seemed to like (rolled on her side and drank some water) she is now inside. Crop felt small and can not feel any egg. Answering questionnaire below. Any help is so...

So we have four breeds of bantams. We have Polish, Bantam Cochins, Seramas and Silkies. Of these three.....our snuggliest Chickens have to be the POLISH....and the least snuggly are the COCHINS. That being said, we only have hens and we have a much larger sample of Polish! A few of my polish...

Merry Christmas eve! Thank you all for your kind comments. No change either way with the neighbor. He has not left any more notes and I honestly have not seen him at all the past month. We did have a nerve-wracking hour when one of our young hens found a space under the fence and went into their...

Thank you all so much for your kind words and help. If the neighbor was "neighborly" in any way and actually talked to us we would probably not be in this situation. I gave the wife eggs once but she did not seem to really care about them so I never offered again. Their house is set back about...

Thank you! Yes it is completely within our legal right to own chickens and roosters on our property. We are not the only people on our street with roosters and we can hear other roosters crowing throughout the day. We are just next door to this guy.

Hi all I am at a bit of a loss on what to do at this point. Our latest neighbors moved in about 4 years ago and they are NOT friendly 🤦 Our community is zoned agricultural and we can do whatever we want out here. Some neighbors have anything from diesel mechanic factories on their property to...

On of our littles is a white crested blue frizzle...So I am hoping it either goes both ways with both being girls or both being boys or we will need to re-home one.
