Please help!!!
Our take
Oh no! It sounds like your feathered friend is in a bit of a pickle, and we totally understand the concern that comes with seeing a chicken in distress. When our cluck-tastic companions are feeling under the weather, it can be both stressful and bewildering. Since a three-hour drive to the vet isn't in the cards, fear not! There are several steps you can take to assess and potentially improve her condition at home. First, ensure she’s in a quiet, comfortable space with access to fresh water. Observe her closely for any signs of illness, like changes in droppings or behavior. Don’t forget to check her diet—sometimes, a little tempting treat can coax her back to her feisty self!

| Came home to find one of my chickens very weak, not moving. Her tails down, shes not eating. What to do? Wont take her to a vet as it is an 3h drive. [link] [comments] |

- Please help!!My favorite hen peachy isn't feeling good. Her tail is bobbing and she's a bit lethargic. I examined her a bit and her crop is small and hard, she also started struggling to breath when I picked her up and tried to get away (this is the most cuddly chicken I've ever had she ADORES being held) I put her in the garage with water and the Internet told me not to give her solid food for 12-24 hours so I crushed up a boiled egg (without the shell) and gave that to her. I saw someone say online to feed a chicken with a bad crop some olive oil and massage the crop so I might try that tomorrow. I'm very worried about her she's one of my best friends honestly, she was the first chicken to ever run to me for cuddles instead of me having to chase or pick them up lol. submitted by /u/AdEnvironmental4177 [link] [comments]
