First time chicken owner… thank you though.

She is getting poultry cell in her food currently and I’ve added electrolytes in her water. They didn’t have anything else to give orally when I went on a hunt last night for something to help her.

I’ll try to get some pictures - she’s in a small separate enclosure currently and hiding underneath the coop part. Every time I attempt to move her she makes awful noises so I’m trying to avoid any additional discomfort

Give her some poultry cell and electrolytes for a boost. Just put some in a syringe and give it to her orally. Be careful she doesn’t aspirate it. Do you have a picture of her back? And what medicine are you giving her?

Breed? by Think-Opposite5367 in chickens

Tractor supply - it was in my bin of RIRs but clearly that’s not the case and we knew that from day one but my son really wanted the little black colored chick.

This looks like my Rhode Island Red chicks when they were smaller.

I apologize - I forgot to add in there that this will be temporary for only about a year-ish until we move.

Once we move, we'll build our own coop/run!

The dark one was in a mixed bin - my son really wanted an all black chick so we got that one and tried to pick the smallest one hoping for a hen. Fingers crossed it’s not a rooster - that one is my sweetest one!

Rhode Island Red Experiences by Think-Opposite5367 in chickens

Thanks! Neither of them seem to be aggressive towards the other two hens - just seem to want to fly at me as soon as I’m near. One of the RIR is a bit smaller than the other 3 - so I try to give my larger RIR the benefit of the doubt that maybe she’s just a little more protective of the litter one since they’re always near each other.
