    Wobbly hen no idea what is wrong with her though.

    Yes that’s the wobbly. It’s more regular when she doesn’t know I’m around. Other than this she is good. I’ll give her the vitamins and keep an eye out. If she’s not worse tomorrow I’ll let her go back to the coop tomorrow night. Regarding the feed, they have bowls on front and side porches...

Feed is anywhere from 2-3 weeks old to 1 week old depending on which area they are eating from depends on which bag it comes from. Feed is keep...

    My 10 month old Delaware is walking sideways but only when she’s slow, running or fast walk is normal. Picture a horse walking sideways when they are tired. I wasn’t able to get a good video since she’s one that doesn’t care to much about getting caught but this one shows a little of the...

    Anyone convert camper to coop?

    I have an old camper (it just needs a little cosmetic TLC to be useable) that I won't use. It is already hooked up to the other electrical box on my property. I am seriously considering giving it to the chickens just so they can have the a/c since this summer is so bad. It's supposed to be...

    She just passed away. I wish I could have saved her, but I did everything I knew to do.

    She still has not laid her egg. Her poop this morning at least had a little solid to it. I'm going to give her another bath and lube job. I'm alone and not sure I can give more calcium by myself. I don't want to lose her but I don't know how to get this egg out.

    I gave her a couple drops since I wasn’t sure of the dosage. I have found that it’s 1cc and I’ll give her more in a little while. I have lube her vent and put some preparation h in around the egg the best I can. I’m gonna let her rest for a bit longer then see if she’ll drink a few sips from my...

    I was able to get her to drink a few gulps from my hand. I have this calcium but don’t know the dosage. I have a 3 ml syringe

    Ok she’s definitely egg bound. I’m giving her a second epsom bath now. It feels like a hard shell. I didn’t push to hard though so just a guess. It’s right at the vent you can see the bulge but not the egg itself in the vent

    I haven’t done the finger exam but I did feel around her abdomen. I’m gonna give her a soak this afternoon and I’ll do the finger exam. I have some calcium supplements in liquid form but not shot form. I’ll try that also

    Sorry for taking so long to update. Overslept this morning so that made work crazy. Her crop feels empty but little squishy. Her poop is a little different but she still has a bright comb and color. She looks a lot better than she did last night. I put her on the porch to get her to walk a...

    Lol I was gonna do the same thing with an a/c. It is crazy hot this year. I knew we were in trouble when it hit 100 in early May. I too say this every ye r but I think this year is different. The forecast is not very nice for the foreseeable future either.
