Don't forget your overseas members - Keeping backyard chickens is a growing hobby in the UK, especially now during these times of recession and food scares. Just like you Yanks, we, your British cousins, realise the fun and benefits of keeping hens in the garden.
I've got a lavender Pekin Bantam that has today been acting strangely.
She is very lethargic, not wanting to eat, and has a very dirty vent.
The vent is wet and oozing soppy poo.
Is she egg bound? What can I do to make her better?
My other chickens are all fine.
