    Limping pullet

    I have a pullet that was born with crooked toes, her name is Forest. I tried several times when she was a chick to splint them but she kept getting them off. I gave up and she has been fine but she is now really limping, I think she hurt the leg jumping off the roost. Has anyone been successful...

    Treatment to stop older hen from laying

    I was thinking I would give her half a capsule in some scrambled eggs (it is a powder) today and get something with lower levels tomorrow, this stuff is high in everything. Will try for a week and see what happens! Thanks everyone!

    Treatment to stop older hen from laying

    She always had no trouble until this year, I assume it's due to her age. She is 6 and the last of my dorkings. I would.love to keep her around as long as possible , she teaches all the young and new birds to forage and she gets along with everyone

    hen with clear watery stool

    She is otherwise normal. Not a steady drip, it is just clear water when she passes stool. Even her feathers are clean around her vent. Not sure if i should worry or not, it just that under where she roosts ( the three dorkings roost away from the other hens) is absolutely soaking wet.

    No she is not drinking anymore than usual, it is cold here so she is drinking very little.

    hen with clear watery stool

    Hi, i have a hen that has had very clear watery stool for over a week now. She is one of three dorkings that all roost together that are from the same hatch. All other hens and roosters are fine. The question is could her stool be like this from stealing chick starter from my 3 month old pullets...

    Hard molting hen advice

    I should put her the molt contest, she really looks sad! I don't have a spot to put her really. My sick bay in the past has been the bathroom in a crate which she is in right now.
