Hello.
Thanks for your reply, but I culled it today. It was extremely bad and I probably should have done it way sooner. The hen had two lumps over both eyes. In comparison to pictures I've seen before the lumps were unusual big. Combined with the fact the hen was very small and have not grown...
Hello.
It's a pretty small hen and it has 2 pretty big lumps over both eyes. Troubles opening eyes and is twitching around a bit. It seem it's in misery.

I have a hen thats due 19th of March (Tomorrow)

Thanks for you reply. She's not laying on any eggs though. Also not laying eggs. When I try to lift her up she chops me once and makes a little noise as if she was protecting eggs however.
Hello.
My one hen have been laying in a basket (where they leg eggs) for the last couple days and I was wondering what was wrong with it. I lift it up and I see it's got no feathers on its stomach and something that looked like a little iritation. Some redness.
