    My hen is making a honking noise when breathing and is getting more frequent. HELP!

    The following morning our hen Ruby had stoped making the noise and the ad acting normal so I believe it was what everyone was saying and corrected it else over night! Thank you for the suggestions!

    My hen is making a honking noise when breathing and is getting more frequent. HELP!

    It appears that she has been doing it since approx 1:00 this afternoon from what I can see on the cameras it is now 7:30 pm. It seems that it was way worse earlier in the day. She’s definitely making the squealing noise like she’s trying to dislodge it. If she’s not better in the morning I will...

    My hen is making a honking noise when breathing and is getting more frequent. HELP!

    It’s crumble feed so sometimes it does break down a bit and gets a bit powdery. I did see on the nest box cameras that she laid an egg today which is her first egg since she molted in the fall. I’m hoping this is not tied to her troubles she is currently having. She seems alert and fine outside...

    My hen is making a honking noise when breathing and is getting more frequent. HELP!

    I have been at work today so not sure how long because I just noticed in when I went out to check on them for the night. She was fine this morning. I can try to see if I notice her in distress on my cameras to tell how long it’s been happening. I will try to get a video of it.

    My hen is making a honking noise when breathing and is getting more frequent. HELP!

    I’m just curious if the noise ever stopped and how your hen is?? I just went out to our coop and one of our hens is making like a whining noise and every so often does the loud high pitch squeal like when they get a piece of food stuck. She’s doing it with her beak closed and she doesn’t seem to...

Did you ever find out...

    Is my coop big enough?? Please reply! 🙏

    I found this camera on Amazon for my nest boxes and have had them for a little over a month now and they are working great…clear picture. You do have to charge it if you don’t have electricity to your coop so I bought a second one to swap out while the other is charging but, they are only $26.99...

    Hello, breeder from MI!

    No worries!! We are originally from the Detroit area and moved over here about 7 years ago. We are trying to locate a local breeder for a new batch of chicks and that’s why I was asking. Thanks for the reply.

    Baby oil for scaly leg mites?

    Did this work for you? We got scaly left mites and used elector PSP and it did t appear to work. We ended up using a vegetable oil dip every other day for two weeks. That seemed to work but, just not sure how long before the scales will go back to normal.
