    Soft shelled eggs

    I don't think it is any sort of bacterial/viral illness as she seems otherwise quite well. It's just before laying the egg she starts to slow down and put her tail down.

    Soft shelled eggs

    Hello. I have a leghorn hen that is continually being egg bound then laying soft shelled eggs. I give her shell grit that she continually has access to and give her calcium supplement every now and again. Tonight she laid an egg with a really long soft shell! I'm attaching a photo hopefully it...

    Egg binding

    Hi all I have a white leghorn who has been egg bound twice now (she is only 1 yr old). Both times I have managed to massage the eggs out. The first time it was one egg and it was just about ready to come out but very dry (this time I believe she had worms) I have treated her religiously for...

    Tips of comb are blue

    Her skin hasn't changed colour but her egg shells are really light almost white. But her feathers are a much lighter brown than the others who lay darker brown eggs. Could this mean anything?

    Purple comb

    I know this was a long time ago but how did these chickens with purple combs go?? I have an ex battery hen with a very large comb and it is purple/blue on the ends but she otherwise seems fine and am wondering what to do

    Thank you. Where did you get your timer from that you can set for a number of different times? Mine can only be set to turn on 2 times at the most which is really annoying...

    Bumble Foot?

    I used a cream called savlon not sure if u have that in America? The vet did say you could also use a vitamin e cream:) but I do think an anti septic cream would probably work best. So maybe even detol as well.

    Bumble Foot?

    I just wanted to give everyone an update. I took my chooks to the vet and he said their feet arent too bad (he had seem much worse) he basically said just give them nice soft bedding and apply an antiseptic cream to their feet everyday and it should soften the sore so that it falls off. Half of...
