So sorry for your loss. :(

I did! Her legs almost seem splayed sometimes when she’s standing. She’s losing weight. Still haven’t heard from the vet. I started on corid because someone thought it could coccidiosis & been giving her some high protein food (scrambled eggs) and electrolytes.

I checked her legs and feet and both seemed okay. We're dropping off a fecal at the vet tomorrow. Thanks for the luck, we need it!

Man, it has been a YEAR for chickens. I've had a hawk attack, a neighbor's dog attack, coccidiosis and now this. My chicken (less than a year old) is walking around off-balance. She's eating and drinking fine, but her tail is down. I haven't watched her poop, but I saw in the coop that its more...

@aart and anyone else who commented on my sick chicken's status! I thought I'd give an update since you all were so helpful. I ended up taking her to the vet on Thursday and she thought it was a bacterial infection or a parasite. She sent me home with sulfa/trim antibiotics and sent out her...

Yes, they are definitely similar to the one drinking a lot / not eating much, but she is definitely cooled down today and just shows no interest in normal chicken stuff. My vet has poultry experience, and I'd rather just not have her suffer or know for sure if its something I need to treat me...

Yes, that one and the other one as well. They've been more like the second one with the past few poops (more green, small stool with white/yellow liquid).

She's not doing any better today. :( I put her in with her flock this morning and she just retreated under her shade tree again and sat down. I called the vet and I'm going to take her in at 5PM (only time they had) because her poop still looks like the cancer one from The Chicken Chick poop...

They’re eating Nutrena grower feed right now, but I usually supplement with lots of spinach and mealworms on the daily.

She isn’t doing that anymore, thank goodness. She might have just been adjusting something? She’s a little more chatty and finally drank some on her own from her dish! That is improvement to me! I am keeping her inside tonight and have been giving her a little Greek yogurt and scrambled eggs if...

This is new, she wasn’t doing this earlier. after I gave her the first round of electrolytes, her tail perked up and she ate some food (leftover grower from my latest batch of chicks). You don’t think it’s the food, do you? They’ve been eating it now for two weeks after someone said I could put...

THANK YOU for all the advice! I've just been using the syringe to put the liquid ON her beak (not in her mouth) and letting her swallow on her own. She's breathing a little better since I brought her inside and is pecking a little at the food. I think maybe I'll put her back outside once the sun...

She won’t willingly drink on her own. Do I need to syringe it to her? I brought her inside because I didn’t know what else to do.

Hi, everyone! I think yesterday's heat wave might've gotten to my six-year old chicken. Last night, she was panting and wouldn't sit down on the roost (she'd stand and just tuck her tail down). She's had watery poops with a little solid all day / night and today she is not her normal self. Kinda...

I want to order online, but many have larger minimum orders than I want to place right now due to it being so cold for shipping. Maybe I'll find someone who would want to go in on an order with me!

I didn't know you could place an order through them! I will ask about that! THank you!

Does anyone know if TSC or FFH ever vaccinate for Mareks? I didn't know if it would change from store-to-store or would be a corporate-wide decision. This is my first season buying chicks in a while, and last time I purchased from a hatchery. I am trying to buy local regardless as I'm only...

I'm sorry. I have no advice, just feel really bad. How cold did it get where you are? One of my orpingtons was really cold today & just wanted to puff out and lay down. Her normally yellow feets/legs looked a teeny bit tinted black and I'm just ready for this weekend warm-up.

Glad the birds are fine! Still not a situation you want to deal with in these temps!

Would this bother chickens since its such a sharp increase in temperature? Everyone always talks about heaters and temperature shock killing chickens, but is this not as bad because its more gradual?
