    Semi broody hen or egg bound?

    My broody one I've been making sure there aren't any eggs for her to sit on and try to keep her out of the nest as much as I can. I put her up to roost with the others when it gets dark too. I really wanted to avoid the cage but if it's necessary I'll do it. Is there any chance she'll break on...

    Semi broody hen or egg bound?

    I have a 9 month old isa brown that I've noticed will go and sit in the nesting box a couple times a day but doesn't lay an egg. I will usually see her come out after awhile and scratch around and put things on her back. Not sure if she's going broody? She was a little unwell with a slow/sour...

    She's definitely healthy. She was all good in the morning so must've eaten something that didn't agree with her

    Sick hen with clear diarrhoea

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some help/advice. I have a 9 month old hen who was fine this morning but this afternoon I noticed she was fluffed up and not as energetic as she normally is. I saw her eat a little this afternoon and drink some water. Her crop is quite soft but I couldn't smell...

    4 week old chick sleeps a lot...is she sick?

    From memory, her poop was a bit runny and had a bit of a bubbly oily appearance. She didn't sneeze but when she slept her breathing was a little heavy and she would breathe with her beak open a little.

    2 week old with slightly splayed legs

    Not sure if these are very good pics. She gets around fine. Just don't want her to be affected as she grows up.

    2 week old with slightly splayed legs

    I tried the hairtie but I don't know if the one I used was too small? She couldn't walk with it, just kind of flopped around. I held her for a while and she slept but she refused to stand. She was in so much distress I ended up just taking it off. She's a fiesty one haha

    2 week old with slightly splayed legs

    Hi everyone. I have a chick that's almost 2 weeks old and I've just noticed her legs seem to be a little far apart. She is able to get around fine in the brooder but doesn't seem to stand up as tall as the others. Will she be ok as is or do I need to intervene in some way? This is my first time...

    4 week old chick sleeps a lot...is she sick?

    She's doing well. It turned out she had an upper respiratory infection so I gave everyone antibiotics in their water for a few days. Now she seems much better 😊

    4 week old chick sleeps a lot...is she sick?

    I'm feeding chick starter crumble 20% protein. They have a heat lamp that she'll sleep around the edge of sometimes. I change their water every day or a couple times a day. I gave her some scrambled eggs and hse gobbled them up.
