    Below is a link from The Chicken Chick on how to care for an injured chicken. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2015/04/how-to-care-for-injured-chicken-and.html? I am glad that she is doing better! She is a pretty bird, that's for sure!

    egg burst inside chicken???

    I have never had to bring one of our chickens (only have had them for just over a year now) up until this week. Glad that you were able to find others going through something similar to give you advice. Glad your hen is doing fine. I am sure that I would be in awe as you were. All the best...

    I am so sorry to hear of this! Make sure that she eats and is hydrated. I am picking up my hen from the vet this afternoon (our new puppy got ahold of her, see my thread in this sub forum as well) and after going over some of the care stuff she is recommending from what we went through, I...

    egg burst inside chicken???

    I have never run across this before. Do you have a local vet for your critters? If so, have you tried to call or make an appointment for your hen to get looked at? Wishing your hen the best and hopefully this isn't something that is recurring or wrong with her.

    What the heck?!

    I wish I had a suggestion for you. That is really sad to hear and I hope that the trend stops in everyone's favor.

    What the heck?!

    That is so sad to hear and that is what my worry is after the recovery of our beloved hen, Ollie, after our puppy got a hold of her earlier this week. Hope that things turn around for your older hen. Is there a way for you to build a smaller coop or separate a spot in your current coop to...

    Heart Broken - Our New Puppy Injured A Hen

    Thank you for your kind thoughts... Our vet said that most of this looked cosmetic and that we had two options: To put her down or to try and save her (since mostly cosmetic) and that saving her would mean recovery time, separating her from from the rest of the flock for her recovery and...

    Found my favorite silkie on the coop floor this morning!

    oh no! I am so saddened to hear of your losses. I hope that it is not anything that could harm the rest of your flock. I, too, would be crying as well. It is so hard when you have such a big heart for critters as they can't speak for themselves, nor care for themselves so it is just hard to...

    Heart Broken - Our New Puppy Injured A Hen

    After chatting with the vet (yesterday, 3/23/2016), we all thought that it was best for Ollie to spend another night at the vet as she was still in a lot of shock, on some pain management and didn't show much interest in food. We decided to drop in to check in on her yesterday and she really...

    Heart Broken - Our New Puppy Injured A Hen

    Tuesday (3/22/2016), we had a BIG scare at BurkeyFarm. After looking through the newest Food & Wine and Cooking Light magazine at home, I used the ladies room. While I was using the restroom, Mike looked outside as it did seem quiet, wondering where Tux (our puppy) was. Yes, things were too...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We have two Ameraucana's out of our 6 hens - "Madonna" already laid her light green/light blue egg for the day (yesterday). "Ollie" has not laid her egg (yesterday). You can tell between the two as to who laid what egg because they both have very distinct shapes. The whiteish egg was from...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We only got 4 eggs yesterday. Our hens (we have 6) are starting to slow down with it getting darker earlier and with it starting to get cold. Does anyone happen to know what would cause a hen to lay a different colored egg? In the photo, the almost whiteish colored egg (on top) was produced...
