Howdy everyone, Just a 2+ month update on Almondina’s condition. To date, she hasn’t laid another lash egg. Yay! She’s eating normally (albeit still at the bottom of the pecking order ;-)). She eats organic pellets enriched with bugs, and kitchen scraps. Mostly veggie cuttings and...

Do you think this counts as her “standing up like a penguin”? I read that salpicitis can make a girl stand tall to alleviate pressure of a lash egg? She’s kind of stood this way a long time though. Also, I have 250 ppm colloidal silver. What dosage do you recommend? Oh and she’s been molt-y...

Hi everyone, I’m just chiming in with an update on Almondina. She hasn’t laid another lash egg, thankfully. Unless what Eggcessively said is true, and one of them ate it. Hope not! And yikes, I hope the rest of my girls don’t have one of those lash eggs too! Eek! It’s about 44°C/111°F...

I’ll keep you all posted to her condition and our strategies as we go along. To give more detail, - Almond is about 1.5 years old. - She laid shell-less eggs starting about 2 months ago. She stopped laying about a week ago. - She’s the omega of the flock. She’s underweight and dead last in...

Thank you. Doing more research now.

My 1.5 year old ameraucana just laid this strange alien thing!!!!!!! It’s been REALLY hot here in the desert (40 deg C) and we haven’t seen her lay any eggs in a few weeks. Heck, the last eggs we saw her lay had no shells. This weird thing feels kind of rubbery to the touch. I’m too afraid to...

Hello fam. Polly, our 1.5 year old **very broody** Buff Orpington laid some disturbing poops today. After quite a bit of reading, I'm not sure if it's coccidiosis, intestinal shedding, or something worse! We love this little woman, I don't want anything bad to happen to her. Here are a few...

Aye aye! Is it weird to feed them egg yolks that aren't 100% fresh? IE can I go to the store and ask for the "expired" eggs they can't sell? All the stores around me are sooo pumped about our chickens, they give us all the ugly produce and produce thats a few days expired. Yes, that's about...

Total she had about 25 mg yesterday, which is the recommended dose for a kilo animal. She would NOT take any today. I medicated the flock's water per the titrations in this post, which was about 8mL/gallon split amongst 10 ~kilo girls. They're all about halfway through it. I was feeding them...

What is your preferred/recommended brand?

Great heavens, I am so thankful for all your suggestions and replies. I feel so blessed to be part of this community. Chicken people are the best people! Onward to the questions - hopefully I can get in detail enough so others with the same affliction can be enlightened too! Thank you for...

Nursing our Pippa

Amateur veterinarian

Hello BYC fam! We are first time chicken tenders and sometimes have no idea what's happening when things go wrong. Earlier today I noticed Pippa, our 3 month old black maran pullet, crouch-walking. My first search advised to check her feet for swells or bumblefoot, and in her raw, dirty...
