Not yet. I am working on getting some DE and wazine. I have brought her in the house and done the egg binding treatment. She did eat a few bites of food but hasn't drank any water yet. She is currently standing in the cage with her eyes shut. I felt her crop and it is hard.

I have a 7-8 year old red sex link battery hen named dodo. She has had no vent feathers for about six months where she originally did. Now she has stopped laying, she has bad diarrhea, she is not eating and drinking, she is lethargic, her rump is soft, red and dry. If someone could please help...

You can also make a mustard egg. You make a pinhole in each end of the egg. Then, you make one hole slightly bigger than the other and take a coffee straw and mix the yolk and white up and blow out the contents. You then rinse the egg out and use a syringe and put mustard in it. When the hen...

The first pic is of all three of my hens and the second one is dodo about a month ago.

I have three hens. One is a RIR named brownie, one is I think a white rock named snowball. Then there is my little ex-battery hen named dodo. She is about 7-8 years old. She has a clipped beak but she still eats and drinks normal. Over the last couple of months I have noticed she has feather...

Yes, they can. In fact, almost any kind of poultry can use this type of system.

It could very well be that temperature change and wet weather is what is causing them to be that way. Do you have anywhere warmer and dry to put them?

Chicken lice can be transferred only by very close contact but they really can't bite because they are a completely different from head lice. I would treat for lice by first trying some FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth. I use it as a dry shampoo on my cat and it works good. Just dust by her vent...

I love my production red. Her name is dodo and I don't really know how old she is but I do know that she was a battery hen. She also has a broken beak.

I have been watching them over the last week or so and I haven't seen any of them picking. I think she did have a poopy butt though. Will her feathers grow in now or when they molt again?

I have a production red hen that has lost feathers on her rump around her vent. She has been acting normally eating, running around, laying ect. I felt it and it was a little warm and it felt kind of dry. Haven't seen anything like that on my other two hens. If someone could give me some advice...

one of my hens has a bald spot by her vent area. I haven't seen any mites or lice so idk what it could be. Could someone help me please?

I live in Maine. It gets pretty cold, and windy.

One of my hens combs is starting to turn white on the tips. Is this frostbite? What can I do to treat it?

Hello, I have the same problem but it is because I got one of those prefabricated coops that really isn't fit for even one chicken, let alone three. It didn't come with roosts which I thought was odd. The coop is I think 2x2 . It is not very big but when I saw it on Amazon it looked like it was...

Hi all, I'm from Portland and have three hens. One is an ex-battery hen named dodo who has a broken beak, one is a Rhode island red named brownie and the other one I don't know the breed but she is white and lays brown eggs and her name is snowball . I plan on getting three more hens next year...

Orchard Ridge farm in gorham has a pretty good selection too.

Another thing that works good too is bag balm. It prevents and also treats frostbite.

my white leghorn hen I think is going broody. They all lay at about 9am and then my RIR and golden comet will come out but she stays in the nesting box almost all day. I have to push her off to get the eggs which leads to some disgruntled clucks and a peck her and there
