I’d like to post some photos on here .... they are of my 3 yr old hen who I ended up euthanizing tonight after suspecting she was suffering. I did a necropsy and I think I made the right decision. Is anyone willing to help interpret these pics?? I took pictures all along the way, both for my own...

So I’ve had 3 other hens in the last few years that developed ascites during their (short) lifetimes, and have successfully tapped their abdomens for comfort.eventually they either died or were culled. I’ve drained this ones’ belly once before, maybe a few months ago, but she has blown back up...

I feel like I’ve been dealing with one issue after another with my flock in the last few months, and am currently finishing (and maybe restarting) treatment for coccidiosis and assorted worms. I have a mixed age flock, including 17 8-10 wk chicks that seemed to have coccidiosis and I think...

This spring we added new chicks to our flock, and we’ve never been super fancy about breed selection, but I’ve always liked to get a variety of egg colors. So I almost fainted when I found a bin of Black Marans at Orschelns in March. They were about 2-3x the price of their usual chicks, so I...

I think they all are pullets but can you weigh in? This is the first time I’ve posted here (with media, no less!) so my apologies for the pictures and whatever else I inevitably mess up!! They’re all from Orschelns, a little over 16 weeks and based on the number of eggs I’ve recently started...
