    She has been outside but doesn’t seem interested in doing much. She is 2.5 years old, the same age as the paralyzed hen. I did have a necropsy on one of hens who had reproductive issues.

    Egg Bound? Searched can't find solution....

    Hello! I've had my flock for about 3 seasons and this is a first. This hen is about 5 months old. She is a Svart Hona so not known to be a prolific layer. This is a picture from last night and she is looking the same tonight. She was egg bound about a month ago. I did the epsom salt, calcium...
