    Broody hen ....Move her or keep her where she is?

    We had the same thing happen to us! We've had chickens a couple years but just had one go broody about a month ago. I bought her 6 fertilized eggs, built her a small brooder, and moved her at night (thats when everyone recommended moving them) to the new eggs. She did great! 20/21 days later we...

    What Is This?!

    I went to change water and refill food this afternoon and saw one of my hens with something yellow and green hanging out of her vent. I immediately put her in warm water and cleaned up the area. It looks like yolk(s). I had to take it apart to get it off of her. The pink area is going back...

    Silkie Injured Wing

    She is still as perky as ever. I wrapped up the wing again this morning and let her outside to roam with her sisters. None of the other chickens bothered her but I noticed her messing with the area (what she could get to anyways). The skin seems to be receeding and more bone is exposed...

    Silkie Injured Wing

    My husband tried to put pressure on the knot and he insists its muscle/meat. We also did the Epsom salt bath tonight. Just not sure how it's ever going to heal with the bone poking through the skin...

    Silkie Injured Wing

    Three days ago my daughter noticed some blood on our silkies wing. I quickly rinsed it off and sent her back on her way (rookie chicken owner mistake!). The next day the area looked much worse and I bought her in for a better cleaning and further inspection. I'm certain the bone has come...
