wow.. still no clear answers... My 3yr old EE also has this problem. she has had a droopy butt for over a year, but just today i noticed the swollen featherless bottom. i picked her up today to check it out and she had a warm water-baloony mass like what has been mentioned in this thread. :( I...

This is really weird, we have 10 hens who have been laying for about 2-3 months. We have a group of hens a few weeks older, but all had been laying pretty regularly last week. We were getting about 8 eggs a day, and started giving dozens away. We went out to collect this past week and no eggs...

I did that too, but my roo likes to prop a leg up on the lip when he drinks...

I'm looking for some hanging wateres online, is plastic as good as galvanized? I've read the galvanized aren't meant to hang. Any suggestions on the best hanging wateres out there? I'd like to get 2 3 gallons. I have 10 hens and a roo.. and they end up knocking there sitting waterer over...

That is what i was so afraid of, but i couldn't bear letting her suffer... i see the phrase cull quite a bit on here, i'm going to assume the meaning. I would never be able to do that personally, i litterally can't kill a fly, do you know if i could take her to a vet to have her put down? this...

sorry about the pics, let's try again...

I got 5 more EE's 3 weeks ago and on the day they turned one week, i noticed one had something weird going on with her beak. I immedietly got on here and read that it was called cross beak, but it seems like my little girl has a pretty severe case. She is always hungry, I put a deep little dish...

How are these chickens doing? I've been wondering about them since i first read this and just did a search to find this thread again. would love to hear an update and i hope all is well. God bless your kind heart!
