My 18 month polish hen, typically lays every two or three days. I've not had an egg from her in about two weeks. I thought she was just broody. Zero other symptoms. Today she was in the corner she's been staying in, and I picked her up and she had pooped on herself. Still zero other symptoms...

I'm experiencing this exact thing with my polish hen. No egg in two weeks from her, she typically lays every two or three days, she has zero other symptoms. Just off my herself, squatted down, feels thin. Not sitting on any eggs.. But I don't feel any eggs inside?

I'm in southern in, we got hammered by the drought last summer too.. My mini cows had to be put on hay very early. But I don't...

I am starting bamboo.. Geese will eat it? I am starting it to supplement the cows. What kind do you grow/ recommend? How has it been working for you?

Yep, I was a noobie pouring thru posts and came across the rip it off suggestion, and I did it only on her.. poor baby. If I have to wash her little hiney as penance the rest of her life, I will. I feel awful every time I see her tail featheess booty. My daughter named her funny butt, and I hope...

It was nasty, for sure. I wrapped her in a hand towel in case she flapped her wings (she didn't even try, so sweet and calm) and I held her backwards, hind end over the kitchen sink and just talked soothing to her and I picked them out with my eyebrow tweezers LOL I flushed with peroxide and...

Wooster boy is healing his toe fine, he still limps sometimes, but he's mostly back to he sweet Woostery self lol

This morning she is still her normal self, acting fine. Her two spots are scabbed over with a thick hard scab. I do.t see anymore maggot activity. I washed the area, leaving the scabs intact, applied more neosporin and today I added SWAT on top to deter any flies (she is in the brooder, but...

Ive been searching on here, and it seems alot of the posts regarding this are pretty old.. so maybe there is some newer advice. When my chick arrived as a 1 day old hatchling, she had pasty butt. I read a post on here that said just rip it off, she will be fine. I did. She was not fine. It...
