thank you all, and I was wondering if she had to have a preen gland. She was out and about today, will see how she's doin in am....

today I lost a hen to a fox and another hen was also attacked. These are pictures of my surviving longhorn. I think her "tail end" is broken based on the wound and tail is crooked, there is an odd thing hanging from her- I think it may be her preening gland- it's attached far away from where...

I was wondering what this part was, thanks for identifying it!

very interesting, what was even more weird is they weren't consistent, some were fluid filled and some were a solid mass.

My girl hasn't been her best for awhile, droopy comb, not very active, got worse, her belly was swollen and she started standing like an egg was bound. She died as I was trying to see if she had an egg stuck because it looked like one was...anyway, the day before she died I noticed she was open...

It's very similar to that but my windows are above my nesting boxes making a whole side pretty much useless for roosting. I bought a bunch of "boot trays" I'm going to place under the roosts for easy clean up...

I have a lovely Amish coop for my girls, but chicken math has taken over and I need more roosting space. My coop is rectangular, door on short end, nesting boxes are on L side of door. Currently I have one short bar across far short end of coop from windows to wall, it's about 3 feet long. I...

they have calcium in coop to eat, plus i save shells bake pulverize and put in their feed. I put her out w/ others, and she appears to be fine, weirdest thing.....still no egg...

ok, so days have passed. she was kept in dog cage w/ door open to see if she'd come out, fed some scrambled eggs, she was staying put. we went out, we came back to shit all over the bathroom. she is not constipated, lol. smelled horrific, somehow she managed to get up on the sink to splatter...

not same chicken, my prolapsed girl is a year older. Her eggs are normal, but different from rest of flock so I have no doubt which eggs are hers. From first day she started laying they were smaller, hard shell, nicely shaped, but have a darker brown so I easily have been able to tell if she...

Molly is one of my barred rocks. She's young, started laying eggs a couple months ago, almost a daily layer, her egg is different from rest of my flock. We went on vacation, neighbor was watching and collecting eggs, came back from vacation, went to work each day since (4 days). No eggs since...

sorry for the graphic post.... so a few days ago i saw her hanging out, isolated her, started spa treatment and tums. she did have an egg which she passed yesterday w/ some help, intact. I don't feel an egg in her now, she's not pulsating as much, but she her inners won't stay in even w/...

been watching for awhile. I currently have 4 chickens, had for a year. My plymuth rock isn't doing so well, I think she was egg bound, got the egg out, but I think there's more to her issue, I think she or others damaged her intestines as a result. I'm thinking she probably needs to be put...
