    Hen lethargic and passed pink fatty mass?

    I believe she may have laid a lash egg. One of mine did the same thing and has been up and down for months. Unfortunately she has taken a turn the last few days. I too, believe it’s reproductive cancer. Praying you find help for your girl! 🤎

    Ovarian cancer in chicken

    I lost my other Golden Buff to what I believed was complications from ovarian cancer last year. My remaining Golden Buff, Sunny, has had her ups and downs the last few months. It all started when she seemed egg bound and laid an odd soft mass type object. It was not a soft egg. Symptoms since...

    Labored breathing & slight lethargy, diarrhea

    I feel confident she will improve. Clementine , the one I lost last year, was in horrible shape. I miss her so much, too. I’m sorry for your loss. 🤎🤎🤎 I thank you so much for your help and I’ll keep you posted!

    Labored breathing & slight lethargy, diarrhea

    Those symptoms sound like Sunny. She will roost but I had to put her there and take her down. She does seem like she’s lost a bit of weight but nothing too concerning. She’s still eating a mash I made her and drinks plenty. I’ll try adding that. Do you think I should keep her out from the...

    Labored breathing & slight lethargy, diarrhea

    I tried attaching a video of her but couldn’t. I know this picture doesn’t really help other than indicate she seems lively other than wanting to lay down. I almost wonder if maybe she hurt herself??? Wont go up on things on her own won’t get down??? But doesn’t explain the labored breathing...

    Labored breathing & slight lethargy, diarrhea

    Yes, that’s what I meant about getting “old.” I think that’s what happened to my other golden buff since they were such high producers. Yes, her abdomen does feel full. Similar to what my other buffy who passed felt like, but Sunny (this one) seems to be doing a lot better and doesn’t have...

    Labored breathing & slight lethargy, diarrhea

    Hi! Praying I can get some help. First, I’ve spent money on taking chickens to the vet in the past. Right now I cannot finically afford to take this one, and last year literally around the same time I took one, only to spend $250, and she died the next day. The other day I noticed one of my...

    Question about soiled eggs + chickens eating eggs!!!

    First, some of my chickens have begun randomly laying eggs inside the run. This led to dirty, soiled eggs. Without really thinking, I just collected them and put them in my bushel basket that I kept in the fridge for the eggs I collect until I wash them. If an egg was particularly soiled or wet...

    Chickens not laying!!!

    Hi! I have a group of girls that are almost 3 and then another that are almost 2. I live in Western PA and our winter has been MILD. I’m currently only getting one egg a day!! Sometimes not even that. I have never experienced this before. Is this normal/expected with winter/as they age? I’m...

    Soft Egg with Red Mass

    Here’s a not so good picture….the color is reddish not pale yellow like all the lash eggs I’ve seen. Plus, there was a yolk and whites with a soft shell (it had already busted open)

    Soft Egg with Red Mass

    Hi everyone!! One of my Golden Buffs laid a soft egg and with it was a reddish colored mass. I should have taken a picture, but when I scooped it out it got covered in bedding so wasn’t identifiable after that. Back story—she’s going to be 3 in a few months. She always laid regularly with...

    Winter & lost feathers from mating

    Oh I didn’t know mating would reduce!! I don’t have dimensions ATM and I know this isn’t a good depiction of size b I know this isn’t a great depiction of size but here is our set up. We are in South Western Pennsylvania. Our winters are not horrible but we do get a decent amount of snow and...

    Winter & lost feathers from mating

    A few of my chickens have lost some feathers due to mating. My roo is extremely gentle with them, but it’s inevitable. I’ve tried saddles but neither the chickens or the rooster like them (he thinks it’s a predator and goes after them when they are wearing it). I was wondering if as the temps...

    Chicken saddle drama

    Hi! I meant he went after both hens that had saddles on. My other rooster did not bother with the saddles but he bothered with everything else. He was a mean bugger 😆

    Chicken saddle drama

    Anymore help on this? It would be greatly appreciated! I thought of putting her in a cage in the run or him in a tractor outside of the run, but I worry he won’t be safe from predators outside of it in the tractor. I don’t know if he sees her okay with it on if he will learn to ignore it. As I...
