    Hen won't walk!

    Update Incase someone else ever has this issue. I kept hen in the house for 6 days. She ate and drank the whole time. I am almost convinced she had a flair up of gout! Everything I read this was the closest description of her symptoms. I remembered about a few months ago she was not putting full...

    Hen won't walk!

    3-Year-Old cream legbar. Two days ago I found her sitting in the corner of her run, tail down. Not walking, but laid an egg that day. She has been laying eggs about four a week. She did have a poopy bottom so I soaked her bottom in some Epsom salt bath to clean and trim feathers. It is not...

    Help my neighbor said my chickens are being loud :(

    The egg song lasts one minute. Hardly a nuisance according to most noise ordinance. Look up your laws according to your area, explain to your neighbor your working on it. I hear dogs bark in my area for hours and according to our laws here, the noise has to be a constant noise, not on and off.

    What’s the obsession over egg shell color?

    I have the same reaction when eating store eggs, but I have no clue why? I never have the same issues with eggs from my backyard hens. Do you happen to know why? I thought possibly I am having a reaction the antibiotics? or possible injections the store hens receive?

    Pale little molting hen....

    My cream legbar is about 40 weeks old. Stopped laying at 30 weeks when she began to molt. Not a bad molt no bare spots but lots of feathers in the run and lost most of her long tail feathers. The only thing that concerns me is her comb has shrunk & shriveled and her little face is pale. I read...
