I have a hen that is just over a year, had been laying fine until recently. A few weeks ago her shells began to get thinner and thinner. I always have oyster shell & egg shell available. A few days ago, I realized she was stuck. I gave her a warm bath and checked her vent and tried to help it...

I had a hen die very suddenly, so had my vet check her out and send samples to a lab. This is the report. I've since treated with Corid.

Hi! One of my hens has a very strange custom, I think, for when she is getting ready to lay. She is almost a year, has been laying well for months. I just got a coop cam recently, so now I can see what's going on in there without disrupting them. So, when she feels the egg coming down, she...

I have treated my flock with Corid and I still see a pink spotted poop on the droppings board once every third day. Can it be that the Corid has not worked? I believe it is one hen, but I am not completely sure. Is there something else I should try? All of the hens seem completely normal...

I had a hen die a few days ago, without any symptoms of illness. Today I noticed this. What might it mean? Coccidiosis?

My head hen died last night, I have no idea why. A vet is coming to try and figure it out. My question is- will the others now start fighting for position? Wander around aimlessly (they all followed her lead without question)? There is no clear #2. Just curious....

Hi! My friend's hen has been acting lethargic since yesterday morning or maybe the night before. She is now breathing with her mouth open and gurgling sounds can be heard. We have tylan 50 and Corid on hand. Should we try one of those? Both? Something else? She used some VetRx on her yesterday...

My young silkie hen started laying maybe a month ago and has been laying tons! She is such a good girl, always friendly and happy. Last week, she went into the coop and sat on the roost in the middle of the afternoon which I thought was weird, so I picked her up and her 'chest' area felt...

Can anyone clarify the breeds of these hens? They are supposed to be an easter egger, an olive egger and a bantam something, lol! The bantam lays blue eggs, the olive egger lays brown :-/ and the easter egger lays tinted (it would be a stretch to say pinkish). I got. Them from a friend who has a...

Hi! I have a 15 week old showgirl silkie who is lowest on the totem pole. Once in a while when she feels nervous and tries to run, she gets all discombobulated and falls down. Not always though. And it's been going on for a couple weeks, I think. At first I though she bonked her head, it looked...

Hi! I have been browsing this site for a while, learning a lot! We have four chickens, we got them about 5 weeks ago from a very nice lady who had a bit too many :-) They are a black silkie and a tan showgirl silkie who are 15 weeks now, and a Barnevelder and EE who are 27 (!) weeks and I'm...
