    Lethargic hen, droopy wings, no other symptoms. Stress?

    My girl has been acting funny for days now. Noticed it when I walked up on her and she fell over in Surprise and layed there wings out. Seems weak. Has droopy wings. Eating fine but feels boney. Dosent look thin but when I tried to check her for a bound egg she felt like a carcus. Vent looks...

    Thanks Faraday40! Ill have to give litter a little more thought. I am currently still using the chips I bought for the chicks (they have really lasted) and some shavings from wood cutting here. I wondered if the sand would be less expense but also if it would invite pests. Lots of things here...

    Found what looked like a piece of white leather in my coop. I assumed it was what you have in your picture. I figure it happens. Though I am still not sure one of my gals is laying. Everyone here seems so confident about who is and who is not. Ive only been able to catch one. My black sexlink...

I was very worried about re-homing my top rooster. But its been a few weeks and everything is fine. :) In fact the...

    Flowering vines that are safe for Chickens

    ever find anything? I was thinking of morning glories for a side of my coop that will be a walk path with a shed on the other side. So not worried about covering that side. But that looks like a no. Wonder what other choices there are? Black eyed susan, clematis?
