    PLEASE HELP! Hen's comb turning purpleish, swollen, squishy breast!

    Thank you for responding! It feels like the crop to me. Ive been doing some research online and I also thought of "water belly"? I just got them a brand new Amish made 6X8 ft coop, I clean it every day, they have two windows and a fan for circulation, and the door stays open. There is no aroma...

    PLEASE HELP! Hen's comb turning purpleish, swollen, squishy breast!

    Pecking Order.....

    That's what I thought too, I have been reading a lot of chicken behavior and flock behavior and what is going on with mine seems to be pretty normal. I just feel bad for the little gals. My hens are not aggressive at all with me, or anyone in my family, I actually think they think their dogs ...

I have them in the same coop, run in area, and everything. They have been in the same area for up to 4 weeks now, and they...

    Thank you! I do spoil them, all of my pets get the best of the best I thought about them laying in other places, keeping my eyes open.

    My two RIR hens Ruby and Runt are 24 weeks old, everyday I check the coop and have my fingers crossed for an egg but I guess I have to be patient longer. I just wanted to make sure I am doing everything right to help out my gals having nice, big, healthy eggs. I have provided my girls with...

    Temperature Question!!!!!!

    Okay great thank you! I think they are comfortable too if they were really cold I think they would be huddle together more and less active. My boyfriend thinks the 120V bulb is good but I think that's way too high. I'll put in a smaller one for nights.
