    Quick! Need an answer if my chicken is egg bound.

    Never mind. I think she went broody cause she was still sitting on eggs this morning, got out to eat and run around for a little bit and sat right back down on the eggs. I guess I'll need a couple of fertilized eggs now. :)

    Quick! Need an answer if my chicken is egg bound.

    Ok, I just checked on her again and she's still sitting there so I felt under neath her and looks like she has some eggs under her, but I don't know if one of them is hers since a lot of my other chickens prefer to lay in that exact box. There are a few eggs that I could feel but I didn't try...

    Quick! Need an answer if my chicken is egg bound.

    I need to know if my chicken is egg bound or not. I saw her this afternoon sitting in the nest box and thought she was just laying an egg, but went to check on chickens this evening (around 9 pm) when it was almost dark she's still sitting in the nesting box. I don't know if this means she's...

    HELP! 8 week old chick got all skin and feathers pecked off her head!

    She's healing up pretty good. I thought she'll never get her skin back on top of the head because it was clearly to the bone. (we could see the bone clearly, with all its groves and the shape. YUK!) She's got skin all over the head and little feathers have grown in most of it. Chickens sure...

    she's doing ok. She looks really lonely by herself in the box. I bought some blukote and put that on her head. It looks like it's starting to dry up.

    Wow, your poor Polish chicken! Why do they do that every year??? Some chickens are like monsters! Do you think the spray on BluKote is better than the one you can spread on? I've never used it before. When should I start putting it on instead of Neosporin?

    HELP! 8 week old chick got all skin and feathers pecked off her head!

    Thank you for asking. She's doing ok considering in the condition she's in. :( She's eating and drinking fine. Her head looks a bit gooey in a few little spots. I think its from the Neosporin. Not sure. The part where her neck is exposed looks like it dried up to the neck, which I think is...

    HELP! 8 week old chick got all skin and feathers pecked off her head!

    Ok. she started to move a lot and tried to jump out of the box so now the skin that was on the back of the head "dropped" a little more exposing her neck and it looks a lot worse. Can this actually heal or is she just going to die eventually and I'm making her suffer?

    Thank you so much for the reply! I will put a stuffed animal next to her in the box. She does look lonely. :( Her eyes are ok. She's sleeping a lot but did drink some water. She just started to show interest in the food. I'll keep putting on the ointment for the next 2 or so days. Is that...
