    Scalped chicken, still alive

    This was one of the first injuries my flock had. Keep her by herself, obviously, and give her food and water. I put my hen in a cage on the deck during the summer and she healed up nice. Just make sure no bugs get her. I didn't use ointment or anything and she healed herself without being...

    Depressed hen?

    I posted before saying I have a hen who is egg bound, but I really don't think she is. I can feel no egg. She doesn't move around much, doesn't stand upright anymore and is still not laying. I thought that if she's egg bound she will die within 48 hours? It's been six days now. So far I've...

    Strange hen behavior?

    Day two and she's still standing straight up and eating/drinking. I'll try the bath and see how that goes. Thank you for the suggestion!

    Strange hen behavior?

    I have a laying hen who has been acting weird for the last three days. I've had hens do weird things before but this particular one is a little strange. I've noticed she stands up very straight and always stands over the other eggs, like she's going to lay. I've checked to see if she's big in...

    Help! Hen in bad shape!

    I appreciate the comment but we're too late. She jumped around a bit before rolling over. She's underground now. I hope someone can use this for themselves one day.

    Duck Gender?

    Hi, I have five white mallards but I don't know what gender they are. (Not that it's really really important, but I'm just curious.) I read that males and females sound different but they all sound the same to me. Some have curled tails but when it's hot out (as in now, it's summer) they all...

    I need help right away please

    Thanks a bunch. She's drinking and eating, the bleeding has gone down a bit.

    I need help right away please

    One of my laying hens got stuck in some fishing net and the other hens starting picking on her. They tore her comb off and she's bleeding, but it's not exactly gushing blood. I put her in a dog cage with some hay and food and water, she's just hanging out right now. Should I try and wrap her...
