I noticed one of my hens acting off today. When I picked her up, I noticed this coming out of her. It looks like a soft shelled egg that broke/got stuck. I felt inside and it feels like there are broken egg shells. I’m currently giving her an Epsom salt bath, what else should I do for her?

This is Poppy. Poppy is blind in one eye and is a very funny/strange chicken but is also very stupid. Anyways, because of her stupidity, she doesn’t fit in with the flock very well. She gets her head pecked all the time. So much that she’s balding and her head looks red and irritated. I have...

Her poop looks normal, not like coccidiosis poop. She’s been eating on her own and I’ve been giving her water and egg yolk. No signs of injury, she was acting completely normal yesterday. She mostly seems lethargic.

I have four 1 week old chicks with a broody mama right now. Her and the chicks and been doing great so far! This morning I went out to check on everyone and one of the chicks was all alone in the coop with her head and wings down, obviously not feeling well. She is not keeping up with mama and...

Have you used the pinless peepers? I’m nervous about putting them on and taking them off.

I have a few hens with missing neck feathers. It was a rough winter here and they were cooped in more than usual. I think it started out of boredom but now they have plenty of free range time and things to do but for some hens their feathers won’t grow back. I’ve tried Rooster Booster...

Hello everyone! So yesterday my sister-in-law found two baby ducklings, probably only a few days old, that had been chased by a cat. She could not find the mom anywhere so she decided to take them in. (She already has some adult domestic ducks). One of the ducklings had some injuries and died...

Good morning! I have a hen who is not acting herself this morning. She’s just standing around and acting very lethargic. I picked her up and her belly does feel a little swollen. Also, when I was holding her she started closing her eyes and her head was shaking. She was completely fine...

Did you just use the PRID and the scab came off on its own or did you have to remove it? Last night I noticed one of our chickens has bumble foot and we applied the PRID salve. Not sure what to do next though.

Yes!

Originally for the left toe we removed the black scab and applied Neosporin and a bandage for a while. I also tried using Prid drawing salve. For the right toe with the missing toenail I haven't done anything besides soaking in an epsom salt bath.

Will she have troubles integrating back to the flock once she’s done being broody?
