Does anyone know if this is cause for concern, other than grossing me out. I was frying up some eggs and one normal looking egg when cracked open revealed lots of blood in the whites. All I could find was the suggestion that is was an embryo, but we have no Rooster.

Thanks for the advice. It is reassuring to know that your chicken recovered.

Chicken presumably attacked by hawk? I have cleaned bloody wound and applied neosporin. We cut feathers that were attached to wounded area. Her wing is hanging low, but she let us handle her wing and spread it out without reacting. If her wing is broken, do we need to do anything other than...

I first noticed it this morning while she was free ranging. No signs of distress or struggle, her best chicken friend was staying close by. After I returned home after being out all day, the sound seems more frequent, happening with each breath in and each breath out. I just gave them some...

Hello, My two year old Auracauna has been making a weird sound. With every breath she makes a sort of crying mooing sound. I have never heard any of my girls make this sound before. I am concerned. Any thoughts ??

Thanks for the input ... my spoiled California chickens are getting the heat lamp tonight... the fog is thick, cold and damp!

Not cold... it'll be in the 40's in the morning... but if I were naked....I'd be cold any thoughts on the pin drops of blood ?

....and won't she be cold tonight ?

Now she has no balance... I'm holding her so she does not flop around.... giving her water droplets.... her head is thrown back.... one leg outstretched, one clenched tight.... Any chance she will make it ???

I have posted a couple of times, now I believe she is dying... while I was giving her droppers of water and sick hen mash, she started ? convulsing... one foot out straight, another clenched tight... head way back, beak skyward.... wings fluttering, neck feathers shaking... Now she is on her...

Thanks, I'll give it a go... does the feed store carry Wazine?

Betty looks like she going to walk into the oven for dinner! So funny looking.... Is it normal for there to be tiny dots of blood where the new pin feathers are emerging?
