I do not know when she has last laid, in fact I haven’t seen her in the egg laying spots for a while. However yes, I just checked her abdomen and it felt like how you described it, balloon like. Could you tell me how serious this is? Because she has been like this for a while, this is the 2nd...
My 5 year old Rhode Island Red hen has gained a lot of weight. Over the years, she has always been hyper, friendly, and had a big appetite. We noticed that she has always been a bit bigger than the rest of our hens, but she never seemed like it bothered her. However, a couple of weeks ago we...
Carmen, our 6 month old chicken’s beak is bleeding. She was injured as a baby and has been in a wheelchair. She can already almost walk but because she was injured when she was so young, she has trouble eating, drinking, etc. Basically we have to hand feed her and while doing so, we accidentally...

My chicken, Jupiter, was attacked by a hawk at the neck. There is a very small amount of blood and there isn’t a huge cut. We think she may have passed out due to shock. Is there any way to wake her up, how can I save her???

My chicken was very weak for a while. Today, she couldn’t stand. Then, she became unresponsive. But her neck is standing up and she is not getting stiff. It’s been at least 10 minutes and she’s still not stiff. Does this mean she could still be alive? However, it doesn’t look like she is...
