    Soft shell

    If you aren't feeding them yogurt, give it a try! It's loaded with calcium. My barred rock won't eat the oyster shells, so I try to give her calcium from other foods. Also I crush up the eggs shells and feed it back to them

    Laying eggs & slight bleeding

    Thanks for the advise! She doesn't have any discharge, just little drops of blood when she lays her egg. Other than that she seems fine. I did the apple cider vinegar today and using the Vetercyn spray. Hopefully she will start to heal.

    Laying eggs & slight bleeding

    My hen has an awful looking butt, red raw , but she is still laying eggs , eating,acting normal. I have been spraying her with Vectricyn every day. She seems no better, but not getting worse. When she lays the egg there is some slight bleeding. Any ideas on other treatment?

    Or should i put her in a dog crate in the coop? I did put Vetericyn on her, she seems fine...eating drinking, scratching...all of the "things" chickens do :-)

    How many times/day do you feed your chickens?

    I'm going to open the chicken door tomorrow. If they come out , i'll watch and see how long until they go back in. They love being out and scratching, this will be the 3rd day of solitary confinement!
