    hens waking up in middle of the night

    Always told that chickens need totally dark for certain amount of hours to get the proper balance for the best laying and for the health of the bird. Also, if in darkness they do not move around and should not be "chattering" at night unless they are being disturbed--- maybe hear a critter...

    Thank you. Since they are all moulting -- when she started getting feathers back we thought moult caused it. This evening i noticed after her soak that the bulge seemed softer and like there wasnt as much in it-- but had still been firm before soaking. What is your thought on the raw place...

    Abcess - need to be drained?

    FIRST- i have been in hospital and recuperating and not seen my girls for 32 days. Therefore i do not know what or when this happened. Ten days ago i noticed a large protrusion on the back of a hen. It is not from the vent. It is much farther down. There is no swelling beyond the mass. Nothing...

    Vasoline for leg mites in hot or cold weather

    Sure dont know the science behind it but it was explained to me ( not saying you are wrong!!! Appreciate your reply!) Since chickens expel heat thru their feet and legs they cant do that once vaseline is put under the scales and rubbed on legs. The same principle if people grease up their skin...
