    Isa Brown laying tiny eggs with no yolk

    Has anyone ever come across this before, and know what is causing it, and if I should do anything about it? It's been happening for about 5 months, and it is just one hen, she is not laying normal eggs anymore. It used to be a bit of both. She is only two years old. The eggs are half the size of...

    Langshan Bantam not able to walk, injured or diseased?

    Thanks everyone for your helpful advice and for your support. This is a very friendly forum and it's lovely to know there are people out there to ask advice from. June just died unfortunately in the last half hour. Most of the day she was fine, she'd been drinking frequently, little amounts...

    Langshan Bantam not able to walk, injured or diseased?

    Quote: Hmmm, I don't think either quite match all the symptoms either... Thankyou so much for replying though. I really feel that the main symptom was her inability to walk, and she just falls forwards and fans out her right wing, and it stays that way. It is her poo that smells bad. I...

    Langshan Bantam not able to walk, injured or diseased?

    Now she is inside the house, I was worried about her. I'm going to bed soon. There is a strange and unpleasant smell (not a usual chicken smell) and I went over earlier and she was gasping and making a wheezing sound. I picked her up and held her, and I thought after a while that she was...

    Langshan Bantam not able to walk, injured or diseased?

    Hi Everyone, We have two bantams, a Langshan and a Wyandotte, they are approximately 6.5 months old. One has started laying every second day (in the middle of winter! We live in Melbourne, Australia) we're not sure which one it is though. Yesterday evening, we noticed our Langshan was not...
