    Hen suddenly attacking the others

    I have a cinnamon queen, and for the last year since she was added, everything has been blissful. All of a sudden, however, she is attacking all the birds except for the head hen. All the other birds have feathers pulled out of their backs, broken feathers, and the youngest is even getting a...

    One broody hen... Broke... Now no eggs past 3 days

    They are free ranging and go to the coop to lay and roost. Broke the broody very easily by taking her out to eat and locking the coop for the afternoon. She didn't mind and went straight back to the rest of the flock normally.

    One broody hen... Broke... Now no eggs past 3 days

    I've searched threads but am not able to find an answer to my question!! Preface: I have six laying hens. They are all regular layers, one+ years old, and I get four to five eggs per day out of them. We had some heavy rain recently and I skipped one day picking up eggs. This caused my welsummer...

    Swollen eye

    Good morning y'all! I have a hen who is one year old. She has a swollen gland under her right eye that comes and goes. It is always, even when not swollen, more white than her other eye. She is a bit thinner than the other chickens, but other than itching, she acts just like everyone else. She...

    Who's that lady?

    Oh yes!! When she was little, she was very dominant. Named her Lucy. When she got into the coop, she tried bossing the others! That didn't work well for her... now she has settled into a genuine "follower"... and flyer! WOW does she fly. I keep their wings clipped, and even so, she can go about...

    Who's that lady?

    She looked like a buff orpington chick but with black highlights. Actually, now that I think about it, she did not look much different than she looks now... she was a big chick. She just stopped growing earlier than the others I got at the same time. She's now about 5 months old.

    HELP!! What should I do?

    Right now, I have three birds in my flock that have this at varying stages. They are itching with the eye symptoms. I do not know how much they weigh. I would guess that the smallest is 1 pound (2 months old) and the largest is about 3-4 pounds (5 months old). I am fine with giving the Tylan...

    Who's that lady?

    Interesting! So, she'd be a Buff Japanese Bantam, and she'll have a lightly tinted egg... correct?

    HELP!! What should I do?

    A few days ago one of my ladies had one eye shut all day (her left eye)... the next day it was swollen. I did a saline eye wash and put some antibiotic ointment in her eye. The next day another lady had her left eye shut and it seemed to be itching her! I gave them both eye washes and antibiotic...
