mimi5 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hi there. I'm no expert, but your chcikens sound pretty off colour. Are they eating and drinking?? Do they do chickeny type things or sit hunched up?? If they don't improve I would get them to the vet on monday. You don't say how long you've had them? Chickens are very sensitive to change and can become poorly with stress. Also changing their food should be done gradually. Have you wormed them? They sound a little young to start laying yet and you will see some signs first, like the face combs becoming redder and they will crouch. What breed/breeds do you have? If you can post a bit more info you might get some more suggestions. Best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
