    Hen might be sick.. black and white comb spots?

    I adopted a year old blue eager a few months ago. She lays a blue egg every other day and is usually my most skiddish hen, she doesn't really trust people. Tonight I noticed her laying down and panting. She let me pick her up and put her on my lap and shes been laying there for 30 minutes...

    What happened?? Missing hen, injured hen and guts!!

    I throughly checked her and the only injury is the gash on her back. Vent, belly and everywhere else is thankfully fine. I will do that thank you. The coop and run are completely predator proof, we dug out the ground and put wire mesh before building on it and there's solid wire all around with...

    What happened?? Missing hen, injured hen and guts!!

    Im heartbroken 💔 there are no bobcats and ive never seen raccoons either but we definitely have weasels, Hawks and stray cats. I think you must be right. Is there anything I can do for my injured silkie? She must be in so much pain..

    What happened?? Missing hen, injured hen and guts!!

    Do you think those entrails are from the missing silkie? Why would that be left behind and not anything else like a carcass or feathers?

    What happened?? Missing hen, injured hen and guts!!

    This morning one of my silkies has gone missing and the other silkie is injured (See photo). The weird part is that in a corner of the run I found entrails. Just lots of guts and some big organ, its almost the size of my palm. The chickens were all pecking at it... what could this be??? What...

    Hen with a very bloody bum!

    If you read my post I'm already doing all of that and since being separated it has become bloody again, so I believe she's the one doing the pecking. :(

    Hen with a very bloody bum!

    No ducks only 4 hens. I think she is doing it to herself because I have her isolated and it got all bloody again

    Hen with a very bloody bum!

    Here I am again with another post about my chicken issues. 😩 One of my 4 girls showed up with a super bloody bum/vent area tonight and we thought maybe one of the other 3 had been pecking her. I bathed her and used silver honey spray and now she is isolated in our garage. I just came back to...

    Hen is sick, not sure what's wrong

    Just in case someone goes through the same thing, I ended up finding worms and some blood in her stool. I dewormed the whole flock for 5 days and she is doing so much better now! I also cleaned the ears with a bit of Peroxide and packed them with antibiotic ointment. I'm doing an egg...

    Hen is sick, not sure what's wrong

    They're all excellent layers I usually get 2 or 3 eggs a day from them! I just meant that she hasn't laid yesterday or today yet, but that might just be because she's ill.

    Hen is sick, not sure what's wrong

    Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to be able to tell if there's swelling. It looks normal to me when I compare it with the other girls but it's really hard to say. They didn't have mites, only lice. I did very thorough checks and inspected the coop at night and never saw any evidence of...

    Hen is sick, not sure what's wrong

    Thank you. Last night I isolated her and she eventually drank lots of water with ACV and electrolytes and had a few bites of Scrambled egg. Today she is much more alert and is drinking but not eating much. Crop is empty this morning. Her poops looked normal but I broke them up and found what I...
