She just passed away. Thanks everyone for your responces. She is in a better place now.

Sorry I don't have pics but my leghorn hen has been over mated by the rooster again. We found our hen laying under the coop not moving so I picked her up and she was shivering. So I brought her in and found a deep dirty cut on both sides under her wing. We cleaned it up and applied neosporin all...

Thanks guys I am going to try and isolate the roo but still keep him around the other chickens and I am going to get more chicks. -Thanks

My one hen is a brahma and I also have a brahma rooster. She lives with 2 other hens and her big brother (the rooster). She was hatched in April 2011 and started laying around August/September. Well about one month ago she stopped laying and hasn't layed since. I also noticed she hasn't had...

I am have 10-11 month old brahma hen hatchen april 2011. She hasn't laid in about 2 weeks since about 2-12-12. It seemed at first she was going broody because she was sitting on the eggs in the nest box for about 4 days all the time. We also have a very large brahma rooster and she is his...

I have about a ten month old brahma hen who was hatched march/april 2011. It seams she is broody but I am not sure. She has been sleeping with the eggs but there is no plucked feathers on her chest and she is extremely nice still. She also hasn't laid an egg of her own in about 3-4 days. She has...

Thanks everyone for your responces. I am going to experiment with a few of your ideas and see what works. Thanks Again and Happy Farming!!!

I have 4 chickens in a 20' by 20' foot run. I used to have grass in there but they ate every last strand of grass out of the ground. Letting them free range is not an option because the neighbors have a large boxer dog and he is know for eating all local animals. I need a plant or a few plants...

Well I will be getting more chickens once one of my hens gets broody and starts sitting on the eggs but for now I am leaving the rooster in with the hens all the time and I just ordered 3 hensavers from hensaver.com that cover her back and above her wings I hope that this will help.

I have a very large brahma rooster with 3 hens. After a while of him mating with hens there is some bare spots on the hens back and on her neck from him mating with them so much. He is actually a really nice rooster but he mates all the time. I am worrying about my hens and don't want them to...

I had the same problem with my rooster and we never used penicillan, it just isnt necessary. I would suggest just rubbing a little neosporin on his eye about twice a day and it should go away in a few days. I hope this helps thanks.

Oh thats good I thought he had like 5th disease all over his body. Well thats good. Thanks guys.

I don't know what this is but he has red around his feather on his neck and on his legs and feet thats all. He is a Brahma rooster under a year old and I just noticed this a few weeks ago. None of the hens have red right around their feathers. He only has this on his neck and legs no where else...
