Thank you so much. That’s a great help. I’ll have a look at the websites in a minuet. M

Just spoke with our local vet.. and they advised me to find one that specialises in farm animals. And I can’t find one local to us. So not really sure what to do now. I do t want to leave her if she’s in pain. :(

Aww ok. That does make sense. I’ll attempt that. Thanks

Ok I’ve just been and grabbed her to take photos and I’m now even more worried than I was before!! I’ve managed to get a photo of her thigh, I didn’t have anyone else to photograph for me so they are the best I could get And the breast area- which I now realise is petty much the whole front of...

I did move her... to a smaller spare coop we have, But she would not sit on the eggs in that coop... she just got really distressed.

Ok, I will get some drops today. And I’ll make her up some scammbled egg this morning... to be honest, I don’t see her eat a lot at all.. unless it’s veggies that I take out to them, then she will have a pick at them. But I don’t see her at the feeder regularly. Think I’ve really noticed the...

She’s about 18 months old ish. We got her at pol, and had her around a year.

Ok, I never knew about the corn. I’ll just cut it out altogether. Thank you for that. No it doesn’t actually seem to be on her crop, it’s more along side of it. She’s lost a lot of weight, and is noticeably smaller than the others, and almost scrawny looking. When I pick her up, there is no...

Thank you very much! If she’s still sitting once we’ve moved I will leave her to it. Just glad I’m not doing anything wrong. (She is our first broody) so not really sure what we are doing :)

They free range, so plenty of access to grit. The are fed a mix of corn and layers pellets. It feels just like bone... not swollen or anything anymore- although it at first did look a bit like a ball.. but that seems to have gone down now. Thanks for replying.

Hi!! We have a really stubborn broody hen. We can not let her sit as we are moving house next week so they were due to hatch at the wrong time. We are getting her up and taking any eggs from our coop daily, but the problem is that she’s sitting in the nest even when there’s no eggs to sit on...

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has any idea what this could be please? For a few weeks she’s had this ‘sore’ on her breast. But I’ve just noticed something on her leg too. She does seem rather thin aswell... or a lot more so than the other 7 hens we have. But she’s he only one of 8 to...

I’ll grab a photo tomrrow so you can see scale. They aren’t as big as our pol l/f hens Have been.. and they have featherd feet which is why I’m slightly comfused. Thanks all :)

Yay! So glad we hopefully have a girl. Thanks for replying, they really are so pretty!
