    Broody Hen?

    Do they get aggressive just before going broody? She has been acting fresh for a few days. Today she was in the nest box for over 4 hours, all puffed up and flat. When I opened it she made a funny noise. I took her off and there was her egg. The other hen's egg was out of the box though. Do they...

    To dub or not to dub?

    I decided not to cut it, just clean it one or two time per day until I left for vacation, then hope for the best. I'm back now and it looks pretty good!

    To dub or not to dub?

    I have a hen with an injured and now floppy comb. I am goin on vacation on Friday and wonder what my best bet is. 1) Leave it and see how it looks when I get back. But I'm worried about infection or it getting caught again and further tearing. 2) cut it tonight (Wednesday). Put her in a crate...

    Puffed Feathers

    I have a 11 month old EE. She is just coming out of molt (and hasn't laid eggs since mid December), tonight her feathers were puffed up. She is eating, chattering and acting normal so far. It was late so I didn't get a chance to pick her up and feel her crop, make sure she's not egg bound, etc...

    Stinky Bum with yellow poop/ Vent Gleet?

    How did you make out with your hen? I have one (8 months old) with the same symptoms. Foul smell, yellowish watery waste, she was laying fine beforehand, she is eating and acting normal. Thought worms treated with valbazen didn't help. Thinking about trying dimethox because I have it on hand.

    Sick Hen - 24 weeks old HELP!

    Still not better! She's not getting up and walking around. When I lift her to try and make her stand she doesn't put much effort into putting her feet down, If I get her to she kind of slowly lowers and leans to the side. Both wings are still droopy and she's not eating/only drinking if I put...
