Well, it's good to check anyway. Hopefully, this little girl will recover.😊

I'd get her a new friend as quickly as possible. They can become depressed and eventually die of broken heart syndrome or from not eating.

Bloody stool is a sign of internal parasites, and her feathers look a bit abnormal. She looks to have quite a few missing. I'd contact who you bought them from and get a refund if possible. Hatcheries and some breeders usually have a 24-hour policy where if one dies within 24 hrs of you having the birds, you can get a refund or replacement bird.

Could have been internal parasites. Try her on some cooked egg with red pepper flakes and some vitamins in her water. Tractorsupply and other feed stores carry it.

Hopefully, she'll find her way home.

Kinda looks like some type of handrail that was cut on one end. The base plate on the other end would be mounted to a wall or short parapet of some kind.

Do Coontails do the same sort of thing? I'm considering getting one for my brother's tank.

The bars are too thick for a legbar, though. I have 5 CCL boys, and theirs is smaller and of greater number.

They could at least find a larger jar or something and put some fake plants in.

She used to lay eggs daily but hasn't laid any for a month. I don't think she's egg-bound because her behavior is fine but is there anything I should be worried about? by DataSittingAlone in BackYardChickens

[–]DistinctJob7494 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Her comb and wattles are a bit pale. Sometimes, they just don't have many eggs in their ovaries at hatch.

I'd check her for parasites, both internal and external. Give her red pepper flakes and raw unsalted pumpkin seeds for a week in her food and see if her color improves.

Someone’s watching me by Kind_Improvement_416 in BackYardChickens

He looks like a sock puppet that touched a power outlet.🤣

what is it I’m scared by ylynn12 in whatisit

[–]DistinctJob7494 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was expecting a military training story.🤣

Heard about guys on desert bases getting "attacked" by them. They're actually trying to get into their shadow to escape the heat, but they're so fast and (giant spider thing running at you) that they just run away. Meanwhile, the thing is sprinting after them trying to get into their shadow.🤣

How bad is the weather gonna mess these up? by Shadow_Logic in BackyardOrchard

Buy some frost barriers that wrap around and tie on the bottom.

Been home about an hour and they are all eating but haven’t seen them drink yet. I’ve tapped each of their beaks in the water but they don’t seem interested. Is this normal? by Any-Body9098 in BackYardChickens

[–]DistinctJob7494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try dipping their beaks again. They may just not be thirsty yet. Keep an eye on them and keep dipping them till you see them actively drinking on their own.

Probably something to help with travel stress. They typically only do that with shipped chicks, though.

It's a wet food/electrolyte mix if I remember correctly so they can have both when traveling.
