Are my chickens ok?? Please help!

How about GatorAde, do you have anything like that. Or Pedialyte?

I’d say it is more light pink than red when I checked on her last. The first girls was for sure pale when I brought her in the house. It was getting color back until she started puking.

Can you make her some sugar water. 1 tsp sugar to 1 cup warm water, plus a pinch of salt and a tiny pinch of baking soda. See if she'll drink some of that. And ya know what? If sugar water won't hurt her, go ahead and offer her some of that yogurt. Desperate times ...


Sorry about typos, way past my bedtime ...

Feel her crop and tell me how it feels. It's a pouch on the right side of her chest.

This is what is going on with her.

Have you checked for lice or mites? See any crawling bugs?

Since it's so cold, if you do clean her up, she needs to be dried really well before going back out.

Do they have plenty of unfrozen water to drink?

We have done everything to keep it warm and dry in the coop. They get fresh water daily and have lots of feed.
