I have a hen with a broken leg. She has been away from the flock for a month. She hops well on one leg and has been in a separate area in the run in view of the others. Now she wants in the roost area at night but the other hens attack her two or three at a time. Her being timid only makes it...

Only one of my four chickens of this breed is laying huge eggs should I be worried?

Cracker my red mix hen is 4 never a problem til now. She broke an egg inside and had a prolapsed vent. I gave her calcium and her vent went in. She has never acted right since now she will not eat or drink unless in a syringe. I gave her amoxicillin for 2 days coconut oil vitamin E save a chick...

These chicks were supposed to be black sex links but now they seem to be growing feathers on their feet! I have no idea since the sign was clearly wrong.

So a kitten is now made a home in my coop it is scared of humans but anyway it is using the coop bedding as a litterbox. What can I use to clean the boxes out that is safe for my birds? Also will the chickens eat cat litter? I can use sand. I assumed the cat would do it's business outside. Nope...

My girl is sick again she is not out and about with the others. I noticed she had feathers coming in but today she is pooping watery yellow and that can't be good. She is eating and drinking a little. Crop is fine breath ok for a chicken I suppose. Her stomach feels firm, not supple. I gave her...

I have two coop guests they look to be about 6 months old maybe? Not babies but not grown. Anyway I need to catch them to get fixed. They are very wild and are usually in the run of the coop. I cannot corner them to use a blanket and the animal trap is not working. Suggestions? I don't want...

I have a flock of hens from 1 to 4 years old. Layer feed and calcium available. I found a broken bloody shell in the box today. No one has bloody behinds and everyone appears ok. I want to do something but I have no clue how to find out which one has a problem or what is next here? Ideas?

Yes it is skippy again!! She was walking slow not herself so I checked her crop(last issue) her vent was saturated with runny poo and she was laying on her side breathing heavily as in labor. I brought her in gave her calcium and an epsom salt soak. While giving her a treat she clicks her beak...

I feel cheated😡16 weeks of feed. WOW. Just kidding but wonder if she even knew she laid an egg.

I have no idea what breed or mix I ended up with here. They are big and love to perch high to my horror. Bumble foot reading now.

As the post says I have a new layer 17 weeks she has a soft shell egg half in half out. Should I pull it? Then what?

I thought I have barred rocks but at 15 weeks their combs are tight and very short not like my biggies. The markings look the same and they have yellow and black legs.

I found a tiny egg today!! I have 16 week olds but is that a little soon? My biggies are close to 3 and lay normal eggs. Any ideas which one laid this?

Skippy is 3yrs has had no health issues. Today she came out of the coop lethargic with her beak open. I tried to feed her and she just stood stoic. I brought her in and she vomited. No worms just a bit of grass and muddy water looking fluid. No odor to her beak or the fluid. Advice please!!! I...

My 12 week pullet just out of the blue started the egg song!! I was putting them in for the night she was on her roost and just let it out. They are still in the honking stage so my mind is blown. Do you think she is going to have hormone or laying issues?

I have 11 layers. I bought 12 pullets who are now almost 8 weeks and now with the flock. They all free range and sleep in the same area but on different roosts. A lot of the time the littles hang in the run and coop and I am thinking that this is why eggs in the box have dropped. I find them in...
