    Sick 1.5 year old hen help—what to do next?

    I felt her crop this morning and it appeared normal (very small). I gave her electrolyte water and raw egg this morning and just bought the SafeGuard goat dewormer and some Kickin Chicken supplements!

    Sick 1.5 year old hen help—what to do next?

    I will check her crop tomorrow morning! I do not know the last time she laid an egg; it’s winter here and I don’t provide supplemental light. That amount corresponds with the growing Turkey quantity (slightly smaller) since there was no dose for chickens listed. I’ll try and get the goat dewormer!

    Sick 1.5 year old hen help—what to do next?

    Updating as of today, I’ve given her a warm water soak and fed her water and raw egg, she’s been eating a lot of the egg but the soak made me realize how much weight she’s lost. She is also currently isolated from the flock. Her poop after the bath has been clear and white gooey liquid...

    Sick 1.5 year old hen help—what to do next?

    They eat layer feed supplemented with mealworms, cracked corn, mixed vegetable scraps and occasional leftover meat. I’m using the SafeGuard 0.5 Fenbendazole sold at Tractor Supply, it’s in pellet form and I crushed it up to mix with their layer feed in an approximate 0.25g for 5lbs of feed.

    Sick 1.5 year old hen help—what to do next?

    My lead hen who was sick a few months ago is acting odd again; I treated the flock with corid and VetRx back in September but for the past few weeks Salt has been slower, eating less, and while she can walk normally has lost her balance and fallen when we put her down from being held and when...
