Okay, so I checked her crop this morning and it was definitely not empty. It felt very doughy/spongy to me. What can I do to help her?

Okay, I will get some poultry grit and de wormer. Thank you so much for your help! Her poops are pretty watery, I blame in on the fact I don't know how much food she's getting in her. If I had to guess, I would say her neck motions look like wry neck, but there's definitely something going on...

Her crop feels flat, maybe a little squishy in it, but mostly flat. I will definitely check her crop tomorrow morning to see if it is emptying like it should. She pecks at food like she has the will to eat, but I don't know how much she is actually getting, due to her depth perception being off...

She's hanging in there. She is still eating thankfully. Her eyes don't seem to be getting any worse (no crusting or a lot of bubbles), although she still struggles with depth perception. She is really struggling with her crop. Adjusting it frequently and sticking her neck out at an odd angle...

Thank you so much for your response! I will flush her eyes with saline and put Terramycin on them. I will try and find some Tylosin too. Would a respiratory infection cause her to stretch her neck out weird, too? Thank you for your help!

I am currently giving her Chinese skullap and Poultry cell. She doesn't want to eat and she is pooping very tiny amounts because of the fact she isn't eating. I separated her from the rest of the flock as the rooster was bothering her.

@Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @Mason Farm and Ranch @azygous Any ideas on how to help her?

I have a Mille Fleur d'Uccle hen who is a year old that is acting sick. She is sneezing, keeps closing her eyes, one eye is watery, and she keeps wiggling her neck weird (to me it almost looks like she is adjusting her crop or wry neck, she closes her eyes and stretches her neck out.)  Her...

You already have a lot of great responses. I'll just add one more pro for mixed flocks. The different colored eggs are a huge plus in my book. I love my beautiful egg basket. Also, I can always tell who is having a problem laying, or who has laid any particular day because they all lay different...

Why did the chicken sit on the middle of the road?

Why are chickens so funny?

I'm rooting for Mildred! 🥳

If you have a dog crate laying around, I have found that they make great brooders! I have also used a plastic tote with wire over the top for a temporary brooder.

That looks like a spur bud. Perfectly normal for a hen to have! 😊

Welcome to BYC! I have some Barred Rocks myself that I enjoy!

I love that brooder! I bet it will be super easy to integrate them since they are right there with the big ones already.

I love my feather footed birds! I have d'Uccles and I used to have Brahma's!
