Thanks!

Well the valzaben seemed to work for a couple of days but I found her dead in the coop today

She is unbalanced when she walks too. If worming her doesn't work I will isolate her. I don't have a set up right now for a isolation. We had one but it was a temp set up. Not winter ready so I took it down. Plan to build something permanent in spring.

No she hasn't lost any feathers. And I dust them every now and then. And I sprinkle some DE around everytime I clean the coop. I just ordered some valzaben so I will worm her as soon as it comes in and see if that helps. I haven't seen any signs of worms in the other hens poop. I don't think she...

Is valzaben orally given?

I've been force feeding her water with electrolytes and oatmeal to try and get her perky enough so I can worm her. They probably all need it. Poop is frozen and I don't know which poop is hers. This weekend I will be able to spend a bit more time with them and get some photos. The rest of the...

My barred rock has been lethargic and not eating. It started with her pooping all over her own bottom. Now I don't think she has been eating or drinking for awhile. She is very skinny now. Bot egg bound and her crop is flat. I thought it was maybe the cold. 0° here so I put a heat lamp in the...

Well I fed her a feather fixer for a couple of weeks and put some electrolytes and vitamins in her water for a bit. Her back was completely bare and had a huge bite in it. We put 2 of our hens down and the dog killed 3 but I gave her a chance bc she ran into the coop on her own after the...

Haha one of my polish hens didn't figure out the nesting box for about 3 weeks. I watched her one day run around in a panic and an egg fall out... dumb

She will be laying any day now. Make sure you are checking the run and hen house on the floor. They don't always make it to the nest the first couple of times

My RIR was the first to lay an egg in my flock. They were all born first week of June last year and she laid her egg on Oct 25.. So about 6 months. She was squatting for a couple of weeks. And the week leading up to the egg she spent alot of time in the nesting box digging around and making a...

She had a pretty nasty wound on her back. It's been a few months so I'm hoping when she molts they will grow back

My RIR is not fluffy and she is about a year and a half. There was a dog attack and her tail feathers have not grown back in yet but here's a picture of her. Just her rump is fluffy and I think she didn't get fluffy back there until almost a year old

The other one has whitish gray legs. I was really curious about the ages

Well I guess they aren't left and right but top barred and bottom maran?

Cuckoo maran on left and barred rock on left? I just got them and that's what I think they are. Can anyone tell me how old they think they are?

Thanks! I don't know how I got 3 of the same pictures lol

Just picked up these beautiful ladies. I think the one on the left is a barred rock and the other a cuckoo maran. I really hope they start laying soon. This is my first time introducing new hens to my flock so fingers crossed!

I'm glad this topic is here bc I'm about to try and add more to my flock. We lost a few hens and have a couple injured thanks to the neighbors dog. So we had to make an infirmary. We put the cage we usually raise the chicks in inside the coop half covering the door to the run and cut put a...
