Re: I think my hen is sick

Thanks guys! Well my feathered angel passed over the rainbow bridge..... Lots of cuddles from me last night, willing her to pull through but she just wasn't strong enough. She is now at rest and I will burry her in the garden so my daughter can get her closure. Thank you all again for your support, ...

Re: I think my hen is sick

My poor girl took a turn for the worst today, Very little movement and I had to syringe feed her water otherwise she would not drink at all.
I have her warm inside by the fire in her own crate but i don't hold out much hope that she will make it through the night.
Praying she makes it
Feeling sad :(

She was not dehydrated altho a little underweight....He has given me some wet mix to feed her over the next few day...

Re: I think my hen is sick

Re: I think my hen is sick

Her comb is small sorry my mistake, getting used to all the names. The other chickens are not fussed with her at all and they are happily letting her eat and drink when she wants. Im surprised they are not picking on her at all being that she is not active like them, maybe she was the top of the pec...

Re: I think my hen is sick

Thanks for the replies guys! I contacted the man i purchased her from and He said she may just been a little stressed from the move, None of the other chickens show any signs of illness so I'm sure its not a viral thing. She walked around a little today and spent some time in the sunshine....She sti...

Re: I think my hen is sick

Thanks for the response guys! Ok I have her in her own cage in the coop with her flock, I did not want to remover her completely as i didn't want to alienate her and have them not allow her back into the flock again. She seems to have much thicker feet than the others (possible scaly feet?) She is e...

I think my hen is sick

Hello members I am a first time chicken mummy and I got 10 hens from a local breeder only last week.....They are Isa browns. Since they arrived I have had one hen who tends to sit fluffed up for most of the day, she will walk out ever so slowly to the run with the others and will drink a little and ...
