    After Injury - Chicken Stopped eating

    No interest in food on her own. She will drink water, but I can't get her to eat worms, cookies, grapes, noodles... etc. All things she particularly likes.

    After Injury - Chicken Stopped eating

    We are giving her B and C vitamin, and when she first hurt herself about 4 weeks ago we were giving antibiotics. The leg has steadily gotten stronger over time. She is gaining weight and getting stronger daily. There are a few of the older ones who started picking on her. We are separating her...

    After Injury - Chicken Stopped eating

    Hello, I have a chicken who got caught in a wire fence and dislocated her leg. I got the leg reset and she is now walking with a limp. But she has stopped eating. I started to force feed her with pea size feed balls I make, and she is now gaining weight and is much stronger. However, she still...

    Chickens won’t stop eating eggs

    I would also suggest isolation for the biggest offenders. Also are they eating the whole egg or just the shell and leaving the rest. If eating the shell then they have a calcium deficiency, and are craving the shells. Last I would start picking up eggs on a more regular schedule. If they do not...

    New Layer - stopped laying after only a few eggs.

    Sorry, for the long delay. We do not know the breed. She is a mix to make an olive egger. She is grey with golden on wings and body. I hope you are correct and she starts to lay again soon.

But when she comes out then... Nothing. I thought that it was disruption to the flock at first. (One got sick and...

    Do I need to separate a hen and chicks from the flock?

    Thank you everyone. I am slowly integrating them into the group. Even the aggressive one seems to be accepting them. Momma kicks their buts if they get to close to the chicks. I am still being very careful however because she does not always pay attention to where all of them are and often gets...

    Hen and Chicks - Reintegration

    Thank you for the confirmation. As I did not get a quick response. I started slowly letting them out with supervision. Overall, Momma has been kicking but on her sisters when they get too close. She usually takes the little ones on a walk around the yard then goes back to the run. I close them...

    Hen and Chicks - Reintegration

    We had a broody hen and we decided to switch the eggs under her with chicks. She took to them right off no problem. But we had one other chicken who became aggressive and wanted to kill the chicks. Our Momma chicken is not great at defending them, so we separated her into a smaller run within...
