    Won't walk, listless pullet

    Update!😊 Let Millie out so I could clean carrier & get her large & heavy egg! She wanted to walk & did not curl her toes!! She sat in the grass and ate voraciously; she also drank a little water. She didn't eat much of the food I gave her last night - which had her B, Calcium, and...

    Hello! Just a note: I had to fix the lighting on the photos as all of our bulbs seem to give off an orange/yelliw glow. If these don't qualify, I'll wait until we have sun again and retake the photos. This is a necklace I made from Glass seed beads Glass dagger beads Glass fire-polished beads...

    Won't walk, listless pullet

    We've been putting the B & Calcium in her food as we can't get her to keep beak open (hubby's fingers can't take much more). We'll also figure out how to provide water that she won't dump the container! Thank you!

    Won't walk, listless pullet

    Gave her 1/4 of a B-Complex and a Calcium supplement last night. Also gave her homemade electrolyte water (which she tipped over 🤦‍♀️) I know i can give her more B today and we are getting her a water bottle. What about the Calcium - we are starting oyster shells for all today - do we give her...

    Won't walk, listless pullet

    Hello, Millie's limp has now turned into a whole body problem! She's a 22 week Sapphire Gem. She doesn't have bumblefoot, nor scars, growths, or uninvited buddies on her. We had her "locked up" thinking she had a bruised foot or leg. Yesterday we let her out for 3 hours to see how she was...

    Bad eggs

    Thank you all for your help and suggestions! We are going to hold off on the calcium for now and just add OS. Surprisingly, the egg was a double yolk and Hubby said it/they tasted just fine.

    Bad eggs

    Ah! Wet feed 🤦‍♀️ That makes sense! I have some pancake mix that got some "friends" in it - I can add their feed & a few eggs to make Chickie-Cakes! Or Flap-Hencakes! We are rural too, but, the foxes, groundhogs, and stray cat may like my chickies too much 😆

    Bad eggs

    Do not apologize for asking questions! I told that to my students all the time! How will you learn or invest in learning (or get answers) if you don't ask questions?! 🥰 They are still pullets 😁. The feed has oyster shell & omega-3 in it. We have a very hard time getting them to eat it, so...

    Bad eggs

    Hello, Not sure which hen laid this egg, but I'd like to figure what may have caused this so i can prevent all my hens laying these. I read the article about eggs, and now I'm worried about everything we do or don't do for them :hit Husband thinks this may be from our smallest Sapphire Gem...

    Limp - but why?!

    Update: Millie has spent significant time in the dog carrier and her limp has improved! Because she's laying and she has no ability to forage, we've let her out for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours before bed. This has been only in the last few days. It helps her mood and we haven't had any...

    Review by 'Anonymous' in article 'Common egg quality problems'

    All great information...but now I'm literally terrified that we've either (a) frightened one or two of our hens constantly, or (b) one or two hens are sick!
