    Panting hen

    Im wondering why my hen is panting every 10 to 20 seconds. she seems fine otherwise. Although, she does have a messy butt. I've been meaning to stick her in epsom salt bath for a few days now, but haven't gotten to it. Will do tomorrow. Could a pasty butt cause her to suddenly have a breathing...

    Egg whites really thin!

    Why are all my egg whites really thin and even non existent on one side of the eggs? This makes peeling hard boiled eggs almost impossible without tearing up the eggs. Are the hens lacking something in their diet? I give them regular layer feed from local feed store. I offer oyster shells on the...

    Vitamin, mineral, probiotics supplementation in winter??

    Extremely cold here, making everything freeze almost instantly. How can I add a supplement to my hens’ water and it be readily available for them throughout the day? I have a metal water dispenser on a heating plate to keep from freezing, but I’m not confident about adding supplemental nutrients...

    What does this look like?

    Thank you, I wasn’t sure because it was the first of its color. Their Cecal poops are mostly dark brown. And being that I have a sickly hen, I was concerned.so I thank you for your quick response.

    What does this look like?

    It’s frozen, but what kind of infection does this look like, if any? I’ve had a sick hen with diarrhea and anorexia that I’m nursing and waiting for antibiotics to arrive, but this is the first time i saw poop that looks like this/this color. What would you do? No vet. See pic of 💩. Thanks...

    Enteritis question...

    I have no idea when she laid her last egg… her crop is empty in the mornings now(maybe a tiny bit of whatever feels gritty to me)…she won’t eat mush/mash, scrambled eggs, or tuna. She did try the tuna and actually swallowed a couple tiny pieces of it, but then nothing.

    Enteritis question...

    She's about 2 years. Her normal diet was Nutrena layers feed and meal worms for treat. She has not laid in quite a while. Not sure how long because i still haven't figured out which hens lay what eggs. They all look alike. Yet, I haven't seen her in a nesting box since before the first episode...

    Supplements in Water Dishes

    Okay, I have a metal water dispenser on a heating plate. Is it okay to add mineral and vitamin supplements to the water in a metal dispenser? And what additives should I avoid using in a metal dispenser?

    How much safe-guard pellets do I give?

    She exhibits the same symptoms as before when I gave wormer and it seemed to bring her back to health. Symptoms- weak, thin, not eating much (not even treats), standing alone on one or the other leg while constantly resting the other and closing her eyes during inopportune times, feathers appear...

    How much safe-guard pellets do I give?

    thank you, i just tried to get my hen with symptoms to eat one pellet mixed in with some yummy meal worms and she totally refused to eat it. So, it isn't gonna work. the reason i tried the safeguard pellets was because someone suggested it, which i believe that it works for her chickens, but i...
