Eight week old chick, this morning I go out put food in the feeder for them, suddenly one squats down low starts stomping her feet (similar to the mating dance of the hens). However she doesn't stop, I pick her up and her feet are just a going, I flip her over and they keep going, I put her...
I have two bantam hens that went broody two weeks apart. I divided the eggs since they were both sitting on them at the same time. The first batch just started hatching and I have four chicks so far. I moved all the chicks under the hen that started brooding first. obviously she is now...
Ok, still happening, they all eat Nutrena Hearty Hen and most days have a large run that they are in, where they eat worms and bugs. A few times a week, usually on weekends, they are out free ranging.
Update, we cracked an egg of hers today and it stunk right out of the shell. So we opened...
the usual, 10 minutes, never had an issue but now twice her eggs have been, foul smell from the moment you crack them and peal. However this hasn't been all the time.

well she was taking water with electrolytes from a dropper, she seemed a bit more alert, we ran to the local farm store to grab some more dust and bedding to do a thorough cleaning of the coop and come back to her passed away. We are going to empty the bedding out, spread some dust and spray...
pooping looks normal, abdomen is bloated and hard, checked for egg but didnt look like she had one, been a few days for laying, but thats normal for her. She can barely move, we gave her a penicillin injection and ive tried to put fluids in her but she can barely breathe so its hard to get her...
she now cannot stand, I tried to get her to drink some of my electrolyte water but she cant stand but for like a second, pretty sure she wont make it through the day unless she drank some last night and it gives her a boost.
