    Egg with no shell and clear yolk

    Thank you both. She is close to a year and yes! She did look better and tucked into food which surprised me. Then they went to bed and I left her be so will have a good look at her today. I did have a good look, it looks like a clear, slightly tinged red yolk. The outer membrane was goopy, not...

    Egg with no shell and clear yolk

    Hi everyone, Just noticed a hen looking under the weather then a few minutes later she laid this. Had plenty of soft shell eggs before but not seen this. Any guidance please? Thank you

    Roof of mouth yellow

    Hello...an update. Particularly if someone is looking at this for their bird. She is still with us! She was on metronidazole (1/4 250mg tablet twice a day, 10days). The mouth lesions reduced, not completely, were less yellow and more greyish. The eye infection cleared and her demeanor was much...

    Nice rooster bullies one hen only.

    He really does! Although we do find same breeds hang out together, at least when young. She arrived by herself so not sure if that was related.

    Nice rooster bullies one hen only.

    Hi all I have 14 hens and one rooster. He is an angel of a boy, very protective, forages for them, never aggressive with them or humans. Except...he absolutely hates one hen. He chases her off food and water constantly. She's very quick and flightly and constantly has one eye on him. She is...

    Roof of mouth yellow

    Hello, update. I got the metronidazole and also an anti parasite medication for the whole flock as a precaution. First dose of the antibiotic seemed to make her drowsy, I thought she was dead but she was perky again 20 minutes later . The yellow bits..should I see these reduce during the...

    Roof of mouth yellow

    She's been on a nutrient rich diet for a few days since I noticed the lice. She's eating very well, still enjoying grain and she doesn't look like she has difficulty swallowing which is a surprise. The lice seem dead but I don't know yet what to do about the lice. Vet first thing tomorrow...

    Thank you for this. I read that about pigeons but no we don't, crows, magpies, small birds. Their water is cleaned regularly. I need to check all the others and get her some antibiotics tomorrow. She also has some lice and a lot of nits but the others don't, I guess that she hasn't been dust...

    Roof of mouth yellow

    Hello I thought my old girl had an eye infection and was treating it then noticed this in her mouth. Lots of google / forum results show canker but it doesn't look quite like the images. It doesn't smell at all, it's not soft and not weeping or pus like. I can't budge it. Her right eye has...

    Hen not eating, running out of ideas

    Never checked ears! Part of me was thinking it's like she wants to eat but can't. And I was suspicious that she laid one egg then stopped. But her abdomen feels fine. The skin is normal colour, no redness and I can't feel anything hard or unusual in her tummy. She's walking and running fine, no...
