    Most broody breed?

    We've had 2 bantams, 1 silkie and 1 toppie game fowl, and they're both good for getting broody every other month. We gave the silkie her own chicks to raise and she was an incredible mom despite the fact that all 4 were different, larger breeds than her.

    I have Lawn Rust- what if the chickens eat it?

    Did you ever get a satisfactory answer on this? My chickens have not been laying much, they're acting a bit unusual, a few have had trouble eating as if they have impacted crops but the vet didn't see much of a problem, and they're molting at unusual times.

    Injured legs

    Thanks for the reply. I've checked her leg. No damage that is obvious to me but, what do I know about chicken legs? Very little. I appreciate the help

    No. Left leg on my Plymouth Rock, right leg on my Australorp.

    Injured legs

    I assume it's an injury too but what alarmed me was the fact that it happened with 2 girls on the same day. So strange. I haven't seen her fight with anyone and she's spending her days loafing on the ground with the group.

    Injured legs

    I have two hens with injured legs. Both are two and 1/2 years old. One has had a slight limp since she was a chick. The other developed a noticeable limp a few months ago. Friday they both suddenly had extreme limps and are having trouble getting around. One seems slightly better today (2 days...

    Hen not able to eat

    I still have no idea what was wrong but she just ate. Her breath is regular. No lesions or mucous in her throat.

    Hen not able to eat

    I appreciate your response. Her crop feels empty today. Last night I was concerned it could be an impacted crop but today it feels empty and she's still unable to eat. Seems like she's drinking water though

    Hen not able to eat

    My hen seems hungry but she isn't able to eat anything. I offered her mealworms before bed last night and she came over to them and was interested but she only touched her beak to them and then shook her head. A small amount of liquid splashes out when she shakes. She seems to have a full crop...

    Labored breathing

    I tried feeling for something but I can't tell if anything is there. I'm not exactly a chicken anatomy expert. I think we're coming up on 2 hours inside and only 1 strange watery poop and another tiny poop. Very unusual for any chicken.

    Labored breathing

    No change. Still labored. She's been inside for over an hour and only pooped once and it was half clear liquid half milky white liquid.

    Labored breathing

    I can't see anything. It is hot. Has been for weeks. I have her inside in an air conditioned room. Stood her cool water and she's been eating cold watermelon. No other symptoms that I've noticed. Comb and waddles are still red.

    Labored breathing

    My chicken is breathing like she has an obstruction, but I can't tell if that's the case. We gave her some bread soaked in olive oil. It's been 40 minutes and nothing has changed. She is eating still. I tried attaching a video to this post. Not sure if it worked. Any ideas?
