Thank you both.

My chickens all seem to be gaping. I have one hen who has done it since I got her three years ago and I didn't think anything of it. I figured it was some kind of habit but now it seems that more and more of my chickens are doing it. What could it be? At first I suspected gape worm but I read...

maybe you could use a small piece of wood or something. Just something to act as a splint.

One of mine had a crooked toe when it was younger. I used like a popsicle stick and then taped it around the toe. I think you have to do it when they are very young though. You could still try it and see if it gets fixed. I'm no expert :/ Has it always been crooked?

I have Wazine... the last time I treated was in Feb I believe. Should I treat them again?

I bought her in the summer of 2009. She hasn't layed for a year at least, I'm guessing. I was guessing she's just old but the stool is green/yellow and runny.

My hen Athena has been acting strange lately. I noticed that she has a lot of poop on the feathers by her vent. She's been getting kinda of depressed looking. I thought at first it was the heat so I brought her inside but today it is cooled off and she's acting like that again. She still goes...

Cool! I hope everything goes good for you!

i agree! Congrats!

Cute!!!! Look at that little thing!

Awesome!!!! What kind are they? Hatching is so exciting I have six eggs set that are due to hatch Saturday!

Thanks! I'm going to build it all tomorrow. Good luck chick in the burbs!!!

Thanks! Was your hen okay being in the pen? Like she wasn't desperate to get out or anything?

Hey guys I have a question. So I have six eggs set that orignally had one broody hen sitting on them. Well I now have 4 (and a half I guess) broodies. The eggs are due to hatch this weekend and I don't want the mom's to fight over them. I have a big dog crate that I can move them into. But...

He kind of reminds me of a Delaware.
