I picked her up and i didn't notice and bites or sting marks. She is moving around fine the only difference I see in her is how she looks, but everything else she does fine. I also noticed that she's fatter compared to my other hens and her neck is more slumped (I'm not sure if that's the right...
Hey, I have a two year old hen who has swelling around her whole face,comb, legs and toes. She's had this swelling for three days now and I thought I would just go away but it seems to have gotten worse. She has been walking, eating and drinking just fine. What should I do?
so sorry these pictures were taken sideways and somehow transferred on here upside down.. It looks like the chick has a large stomach with a umbilical cord.
It just came out of t's shell. There is a circle on its stomach area? sticking out is a cording looking thing... What do I do now? Can I leave the chick till morning? or should I stay with it for a while?
The one I know for is alive right now, Has most of the top off. There is another chick that has had it's beak out for hours and hasn't made a sound..I'm assuming it's dead.. And One chick I can hear very slightly in a barley cracked egg. My hen has been sitting on them for a few weeks. Thanks so...
Hello People!
This afternoon I found 3 of 8 eggs one of my broody hens has been sitting on for quite a while, crack. I've never hatched eggs before and I don't have an incubator. I took all the eggs, putting them in a rubber made tub and put a heating lamp over them. Did I do the right thing...
Hello there, I just finished reading your post. Heres some questions I'd like to ask. Does she rub or play with her eyes? Is her poop normal? Does she try to "talk" at all?
You are doing the right about separating her and giving meds.
They are a year old and I don't know if they are molting or some fighting been going on. I just know there are feather missing and quite a few by their wings. Yes, they free range.
I have around 20 hens that have stopped laying. Now I'm getting only 5 or so a day. They have water,food,and clean boxes. Why have most of them stooped laying?
