    Hen Spurs - Should I Be Worried?

    Thanks for the info. Let's hope Daisy doesn't start crowing! She isn't aggressive, so that's good. :)

    Hen Spurs - Should I Be Worried?

    Good to know it's nothing to get worried about. Her comb has also grown a lot recently - it used to be almost non-existent, but now it's the biggest of our three birds'. Is that related to her spur growth? Is it a hormonal thing? I still find it hard saying three. To think we used to have seven...

    Hen Spurs - Should I Be Worried?

    So I only just noticed that Daisy has suddenly grown large spurs - should I be worried about them? Do I need to trim them? See below for photo. This is Daisy at the front. Not sure of her exact breed, but she's certainly speckled. These are her spurs (as good a photo as I could nab at...

    Very sick chicken!! Please help if you can!

    Hi there BuffOrpington, Thanks very much for your advice, but unfortunately she really wasn't drinking at all, and so we took her to the vet today and they didn't think there was much hope for her, especially seeing as she was quite old. So she isn't suffering any more. R.I.P. Lightning We...

    Egg-bound Chicken, or what??

    UPDATE: Yesterday, we noticed that Thunder's comb had gone blue at the back again, and was very floppy. We took her inside immediately, but we quickly realised that there was something else wrong with her, because she began drinking huge amounts of water, and her crop became very bloated. We...

    Egg-bound Chicken, or what??

    Thanks very much for that! Very helpful to actually know that other people's chicks have had the same thing, and that there's a name for it too! Hope it's not that serious... Will continue to research it when I have time... Thanks again, Finn :)

    Egg-bound Chicken, or what??

    Okay, well here is an update: Thunder has been outside for a while now, but yesterday started looking a bit unwell again, and her comb went blue at the back and quite floppy, so we immediately took her inside and put her in my room with the heater on again. About 5 hours later, we came in and...

    Egg-bound Chicken, or what??

    Hello Chicken fans, I was going to post a question about egg-bound chickens on Monday, but after typing it all up, the internet connection went, and I lost it all, so I had to try and remember everything I had written. In the meantime, something happened to the chicken in question which I...
