    What IS this?

    She is actually looking a LOT better! Its been really hot here and I was worried about that, but she is hanging in there. My vet told me that as long as she is looking better not to worry about it. She said she has had some horror stories with her own hens and the things that came out of them...

    What IS this?

    Well, by last nite her comb started looking less grey. By this morning the color is pretty much back to normal. Her tail is up and she has been acting extremely normal. A lot more energy too. I am keeping a close eye on her.

    What IS this?

    It was the consistency of a cooked kidney bean. She actually looks better this afternoon. Her tail was down over the weekend and today it is back up again and she seemed a lot more active.

    What IS this?

    Abscess

    I'm not sure that I have any advice, but I posted that back at the beginning of June & it has just FINALLY healed.

    Abscess

    So when I went to put the girls in for the nite, I saw what looks like a ruptured abscess on one hens back. There has been a lot of fighting in the pecking order lately and I believe this happened as a result. My 2 top hens look great. Everyone else has some degree of feather loss. Any ideas...

    Sciatic nerve damage?

    So you are thinking that it looks like some kind of genetic deformity? Do I now have a house hen? Lets not tell my husband yet...

    Sciatic nerve damage?

    I should have attached the photo where she had on the pink diaper! Lol. It was more obvious! She can walk, with a limp & is consistently putting her right foot down on her left, as the foot is turned in. When this started, it happened as she was laying an egg. She was fine immediately...
