My 3 year old RIR has recently become sick. There are no avian or farm vets anywhere around here. This first started about 2 or 3 weeks ago and has been progressively getting worse. She is very lethargic, she tries to eat and drink however. I have been monitoring her and I haven't seen her poop...

my golden campine has been acting sick lately. It started about a week ago when her face around her eyes became swollen. However she was still eating and drinking so I figured it would go away. But within the past 2 days, it has still been swollen and she hasn't really been eating but she is...

Ok well I slowly took the egg shell out(it was a soft one) and along came some poop. She seems to be a little better, we gave her a little tomato and yogurt and she also drank some water. She then proceeded to bite the only hen lower than her. So she is more normal but not completely. She still...

My hen has tried to lay an egg, the egg yolk has come out but we cannot see a shell any where and a whitish liquid like an egg white is kinda just there. Her butt is also kinda sticking out a little and she is puffed up and doesnt look too good. Please help!!! It is not her first egg

oracasislandchickens- Thanks for the reply! I am pretty sure she is not being pecked at. Like I said before she is at the top and other chickens run away from her but she also runs away from them. It is so puzzling. I will try to check her out, though she doesn't like humans too much especially...

My hen Rubooshka who is a Barred Rock is acting really strange. She recently started moulting. And at the same time she does this strange thing. Its like she feels really open to everyone because she has no feathers. She walks really low to the ground. She sorta circles around her food dish. She...

Thanks but thats not exactly what I asked. Anyone else?

One of my hens, Apple, a golden campine has gone broody a few days ago. We are desperately trying to stop her because she is not eating at all. She refuses to eat. When I try to feed her, she thinks I am attacking her and starts pecking at me like mad. When I try to take her off the nest she...

Thanks to both of you! Well he is only a year old so it was definitely not his time. It wasn't too hot today, like 85 degrees maybe. It has gone up to 100 but they still survived that day so I don't think its the heat. I'm not sure about the toxic thing. I mean they stay in the run all day so...

Our roo Coco has sadly passed away today We have no clue what the reason is. There was no blood or anything to suggest a predator has gotten in. He was perfectly healthy today and cockadoodledooing away but when we came to put the chickens to bed, he wasn't there so we went into their run and...

Thank you! My mom and I will soon be building something to keep the little rascal in during the day.

My roo has been overmating our babies especially Blackberry, one of our Australorps. She is completely bald on her head and all over her back. I feel horrible for her. She isn't bleeding but her whole body is red. Can we fence in a part of the coop and just lock the rooster in there for the...

My Speckled Sussex roo is horrible! He will attack anything and has given me a small hole in my leg. My Silkie roo is awesome! He loves to be picked up and held for hours and is just a little sweetie. My meanest hen would be one of my Golden Laced Wyandottes. She picks on the other hens a lot...

Thanks for the advice and I'll try to update on how things are going but the problem is if I put my hand anywhere near him, he will start attacking. I can not get any hand or foot near him or else I am a goner. So I'm not sure how pushing him on the ground will work out because he will win. I...
