    I think my hen is lethargic! PLEASE HELP!!

    She just passed away an hour ago. We couldn’t euthanize our chicken even though we new she was suffering it was just too hard. We did the best we could to take care of her and she was sick for 17 days and she’s now in a better place. We love her so much!

    I think my hen is lethargic! PLEASE HELP!!

    I now believe something is wrong with her liver. She started feeling swollen yesterday and we took her to the vet and there wasn’t anything they said they could do. She looks to be in pain and it breaks my heart. She can barely walk now.

    I put her outside with the others and within an hour of being outside she laid an egg. I wasn’t around when it happened but we found an egg under her in the same place I left her. She started eating a little bit after that and her beak started closing and wasn’t having difficulty breathing.

    She doesn’t feel warm and she really did love eating scratch and corn. Do you know what could be causing her wheezing and why she’s breathing with her beak open?

    It was maybe like two strands of hair about 10 inches maybe. She grabed it and I tried removing it but she swallowed it.

    2 year Orpington hen can’t lay

    My hen has been having a hard time laying this upcoming year. So far she has only laid about 3 eggs, 2 of which came out wrinkly looking. Also she never likes to lay in her nest because other hens kick her out of the nest and she desperately goes running away and wants to lay inside our home. We...
