    My Hen has a PROLAPSE, HELP!!!

    Another question. I got vitamin D3 and calcium drench from Tractor Supply based on what I read about chicken prolapse from other sites. But, the directions are for goats. How much should I give my hen. I got some plain yogurt to mix it in.

    My Hen has a PROLAPSE, HELP!!!

    She's laid plenty of times before, and I've seen her lay. It did not look like this. This looks like a large red bulge that poped out (causing her to shriek) and then receding back in. As I said before yesterday I gave her a bath and then put prep h in and around her cloaca, as well as on the...

    My Hen has a PROLAPSE, HELP!!!

    Well I don't really have to worry about other chickens since she's the only one in my "flock." But here prolapse isn't hanging out of her it keeps popping out then receding into her vent. What does this mean exactly? Should I try to push it back in whenever I see it? Should I continue to keep...

    My Hen has a PROLAPSE, HELP!!!

    Ok so I just noticed today while my bird was freaking out, I posted a thread on this earlier, but now I'm positive it's a prolapse. So far I've soaked her in warm water, cut the feathers off around her vent, and put prep H on it (didn't really know how to go about that but I did my best). Now I...

    Chicken screeching and jumping around as if in pain

    Oh she's laid plenty of times before. I'm like 98% sure she has a prolapse, which if I understand correctly is the equivalent of a hemmroid for chickens. She's my first longterm bird and I really don't know what to do in this situation. Other threads on the topic have said to give her a warm...

    Chicken screeching and jumping around as if in pain

    I've seen the red thing, and it looks like what I believe a prolapse to be. From what I understand you're supposed to give them a warm bath, and then treat the area with prep h. Is there anything else I need to do for her?

    Chicken screeching and jumping around as if in pain

    My chicken just started doing this, about 20mins ago she was out in her pen when she started screeching as if something was giving her pain. She literally broke out of her coop, and ran up to the door. I let her in thinking an animal was attacking her but there was nothing out side. Once in she...

    Major focused hen aggression?

    Well in addition to the general aggression she's giving me, today when I went to pick her up to try and get her in the coop she did her usual puffing up and kicking, but she also turned and ran from me. I ended up accidentaly driving her into the pen. This was shortly after another one of her...

    Major focused hen aggression?

    Hi all, been awhile since I've been here, but I need some help. I have a single hen (golden campine) that I raised from an egg, and up until a few months ago everything was fine. Now she has become extremely aggressive towards me for some reason, won't let me get anywhere near her, and...

    how do you get a chicken to be more docile?

    I was wondering how you can get a chicken to be more personable. I understand it helps if you have them as chicks and frequently handle them, but are there other ways like giving them treats or handfeeding them. I know with snakes your not supposed to do that because they learn to associate the...

    Is there a way to curb a roosters agression, and or crowing?

    One of our chickens (a rooster) has gotten to a stage in his life where his aggression is starting to show, and each day it is steadily increasing. He has charged, bitten, and is growing more raucous. Since we live in a subdivision where we cant have chickens his aggression and loudness is...

    How common are golden campines?

    I have recently been to a few different chicken swaps in my area, and have noticed an odd lack of the golden campine breed. I have only seen them once before at a swap, and I was wondering if they are an uncommon breed. Our own golden campines seem nice enough, our roo is a bit bitey though,. So...

    How do you bathe a chicken?

    I noticed recently that my chickens have gotten themselves rather filthy but I dont know exactly how to clean them. There are two of them, both are golden campines, one hen and one rooster. Im fairly certain that they have their adult feathers, but neither have reached sexual maturity yet (I...

    Do hens need a rooster around?

    I live in a subdivision where unfortunately chickens are prohibited, and we have tried twice now to raise chickens in the area. The first time we got 3 roosters and one hen, we got rid of two roosters and the last one and the hen we gave away to a new home so they wouldnt be separated. This time...
