    advice need bad case of pecking

    I will post some pics of the setup, but I am not sure it is a huge problem. This morning I put the bullied hen back in while the bully was laying to see reactions and other 2 hens started running towards the bullied to peck her. She was only running away. They stopped only if I was there and...

    advice need bad case of pecking

    Hello, I need some advice on what to do. One of my chicken badly pecked another hen and it was the first time. I came home yesterday and I found the bullied with blood all over her comb. The hens have been together for almost 2 years now. I used to have 6, but a couple of weeks ago one died...

    Bad mite/lice infestation

    I couldn't see moving bugs on her skin but seen eggs - many - and some (maybe dead) bugs, i.e. I could see few but they were not moving. So, as some of you said, the product I am using won't work on eggs. What should I do to get rid of the eggs? Maybe the eggs are dead but still there? Should...

    Bad mite/lice infestation

    The hen hasn't been laying in 10 months but her posture was normal until before I went away, i.e. a month ago. Only since I came back and found lice she spends time on her belly and has a weird posture. She might have a reproductive issue but now she definitely has lice. Not sure the 2 things...

    Causes of limping

    Hello, One of my hen has started limping this morning. I inspected the foot and underneath and it seems OK. She is active, eating normally and running toward me when I go to the coop, so her mood is great as usual. She also jumps on the rocks and wood in the run. Obviously she is in pain...

    Visual impared pullet

    Sorry it wasn't a snail, it was a slug (without shell). Normally she was eating those but when with the other chooks, she is not the fastest and not top of the pecking order, so she normally get in later, which makes hard to tell whether she sees it properly or follow the others.

    Visual impared pullet

    Certainly the pullet is not blind, but it seems to me like dhe cannot see clearly to aim properly at things including food. I will try to make a video and post it. Today she was more active with the chick, which was encouraging! Thanks!

    Visual impared pullet

    Hi,weird question, but ... I was wondering if anybody had experience with a pullet with sight problems and how to be sure. I had issues with my broody hatching eggs - long story short - 2 chicks died because I believe she pecked them by mistake and 2 chicks I put under her had to be rescued...
