    How do I reintroduce an injured hen to her flock??

    Hi there, I need some advice, please. I posted a couple weeks ago about our hen Daisy, who had an injury. It turned out to be a puncture to her abdomen, we'd originally thought it was a prolapse, but nope, it was an internal organ sticking out. Someone here on the forum referred me to a vet...

    MUCH worse than I thought

    Yes, I think so. This is the same chicken that was egg-bound in December, then injured and we thought laying internally in February. Her swollen abdomen went away, and after 14 days with no eggs, she gave us a perfect blue one last Saturday. That's when I found her with the bloody bum. I...

    Big belly, no eggs

    Hi Everyone, Thanks for your responses. Daisy is such a sweetie, she's do docile and trusting. She did trash the bathroom right before I took that picture in December, not because she was afraid, just because she was experimenting with shiny things on the counter. And you should've seen her...

    Big belly, no eggs

    Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum, but not new to chickens. I've cared for adult chickens for several years at a farm that I ran, but this past year my husband and I decided to raise our own flock from chicks. Our babies arrived in May of 2011, in the mail from a hatchery. So they're just...
