    (URGENT) (VIDEO) Hen suddenly keeps turning neck back falling backwards!

    My chicken has suddenly began turning her neck backwards and falling, as shown in the video. A week ago, I found her on her back and thought she was dying, and she has taken a long time to recover. I'm thinking this movement could have caused it. What is happening? Why did it happen one night...

    What the heck is in this egg?

    My 3 year old california white hen laid this in a soft shell this morning- What's inside??? Looks like a white rock, and a blood clump with tissue in it. My main concern is her safety, her reproductive system has always been a little funky which I know can turn dangerous real quick.

    Limping & Shaky Legs

    Here's some clearer pics of both sides. I think it seems normal? Also, the calcium was supposed to come today, but it's been delayed a couple days. I hope that's ok, unless it's super urgent situation where it can't wait that long.

    Limping & Shaky Legs

    Also, do you have any tips on how to get her to swallow those? I'd imagine gummies would be easier to entice her with, but the ones I find are a much lower dosage. I used to give her aspirin since she seemed in pain, but she soon stopped willingly eating it and I couldn't figure out how to get...

    Limping & Shaky Legs

    Thanks, I'll see if I can get some of those asap. Here's the bottom of her foot, and a video of her walking . Based on her past, I do now think it's probably a reproductive issue, thanks for pointing that possibility out to me.

    Limping & Shaky Legs

    I did find a couple of teeny red dots on her left foot, could that be the problem? Do you know what this is?

    Limping & Shaky Legs

    Thanks. I haven't heard of calcium tablets before, is there a specific dosage? She has had problems in the past with soft shells and no shells on her eggs, I'm sure that would help a lot.

    Limping & Shaky Legs

    I feed lay mash with occasional dried mealworms. She last laid an egg probably a week ago, but she's not bound or anything. I haven't added any birds, its always just been her and one other hen. Honestly recently I haven't been the best when it comes to cleaning their waterer, could that be it...

    Limping & Shaky Legs

    My 2.5 year old california white hen has had trouble walking the past week or so and has a limp in her left leg. This has happened to her before and eventually went away, but it seems like it's worse this time. She just sits most of the day, only walking around if I give worms. And as I gave...

    Pooped/Laid fleshy thing?? After a prolapsed vent

    My hen had a prolapsed vent today, but I was easily able to push it back in. My brother noticed this on the floor, what is it?? It's small, fleshy, and squishy. I'm not sure if it's a lash egg because of how red it looks. It kinda looks like a fetus but I don't have any roosters.

    Hen stealing all the calcium!

    They're eating layer feed, and I let them out for an hour each day to eat grass and bugs. The oyster shell is already mixed in with the feed, but I wonder if I should give them some more separately. The one with calcium deposits is a white leghorn and the other is a california white. It hasn't...
