I have a picture! After watching her for 15 min, she pooped. It’s very liquidy, clear and water-like, but with a bit of actual poop in it. Hopefully this picture helps. She’s drinking plenty and my dad put some electrolytes (Rooster Booster) in her water while I was at school.

I checked her crop this morning and no wonder she feels bad and also is losing weight; her crop is still pretty full. I’m thinking impacted crop. Thanks so much! I’ll work on this today.

I’ve actually never dewormed before. Upon looking in daylight, nothing seems suspicious, but I’ll check once it gets dark. Her crop has felt pretty normal consistency-wise, but I’ll look/feel tonight and tomorrow morning on the whole flock. No bloating or liquid-feeling areas, but I can feel...

I have a 2 yr old hen who has been on and off lethargic for several weeks now, beginning during a cold snap. She’s been losing weight just a little bit previously but now it’s really noticeable. I’m not sure what’s wrong or if it can be cured, but I’m trying to find out. 1) What type of bird ...

I’m sorry for your loss. This is basically what happened to my pullet a couple years ago when she was 9 months old. We did a necropsy and it turned out to be cancer, so I’d guess it’s maybe cancer.

Update to this thread, in case it’ll help anyone in the future: I didn’t mess with the pustules at all and then went on my planned holiday vacation (leaving the flock under the care of a neighbor). When I got back, the pustules were almost gone and as of now they are completely gone.

Yep, we basically have mosquitoes year round, but a lot less in the winter. Thanks for the tips.

Today I went to check on my flock and I noticed that one of my hens has some grey-ish colored pustules on her face. After doing a bit of research, I believe it is dry fowl pox, but I wanted to check with some more experienced chicken people who have dealt with this before. My hen is just over...

Was this ever figured out? I have the same problem. It’s no cold out, or super dry, and the hen has plenty of water, is very lively, and has no lack of appetite.

I have a similar issue- the purple part of the comb feels a bit dehydrated and less full than the red areas.

I originally put this in the handcrafts contest and realized it was more of an art contest thing… I withdrew it from the handcrafts contest, so I hope it’s okay to enter it here. I did a watercolor of a rooster, also using pencil and paint pen to add texture.

And my last entry, but certainly not least: a chicken feather garland. I just threaded chicken feathers on a thread and it looks pretty cool! (The cards above the garland are not made by me).

I would like to withdraw this from the handcrafts contest because I realized it would be better suited to the art contest. So this is NOT AN ENTRY!!!

I also have whittled two foxes- a mother and her cub.

I whittle! Here are three rabbits I made:
