Unsecure chicken perches

[Craggy Bottom]

Hello, I have some poorly hens and I am not sure what is wrong with them. Over the past week 2 of my girls Mags and Rocky have died. They both had brown runny poo for a couple of days and looked very depressed. Lacey currently has this brown/yellowy sticky poo for a couple of days and is feeling very sorry for herself. My other hens seem ok. I have wormed them starting 10 days ago with Flubenvet.

 

They all are eating their layers pellets, corn, yoghurt and porridge followed by treats of grapes and meal worms. They free range in a field.

 

Help please!!

 

Thanks Dawn

I think if you have lost two girls and another is poorly you really need to get her to a vet and get some tests done. You may have an infection that they all might get, it could just be a dose of antibiotics will stop it in it's tracks.

I agree with Duncan08 - she needs to see a vet. I would also separate her from the other hens in case it is an infection.
