Bless her sweet heart...after all she has been through in her life she sure didn't need this too. My last hen lived for 2 years with...

    Egg Peritonitis or Ovary?

    Well, I attempted to drain her abdomen to no avail. The fluid was very thick and would not drain through the needle (18 gauge). It was also yellow. I started her on Baytril and have her in a darkened area in the house. I'm sure it's egg yolk peritonitis now. Anyone have any additional thoughts...

    Egg Peritonitis or Ovary?

    I rescued some battery hens (approximately 18 months old) in January. I noted what I initially thought was a glob of poo stuck to her vent. On closer inspection I realized this was not poop. She was prolapsing slightly and this was attached (see pics). I soaked her for about 15 to 20 minutes...

    dark brahma chicks very slow to develop...

    The Dark Brahmas I raised last year seemed much slower than everyone else in feathering and getting some size on them. They were also really slow to start laying eggs. They are all a year old now and doing great and laying well. Hopefully yours will too.
