Hello, any idea what this egg is about? My hen is healthy but just laid this egg and I dont want anything to happen to her. Just want to make sure this is a one timer. The mom: Weird egg....

Hi all, I am closing this thread, I arrived today from work finding the dead corpse of my little buddy on the yard. He was getting a little better with vitamins. Could have been his wry neck but the fact I found one of the hens that was picking on him outside makes me think he was attacked...

I know how you feel, im struggling with one of my own. I have to be prepared for the worst as well, her panorama doesnt look too bright :( I became too close to them I am afraid.

: ( I am rather sad... we bought a new hen about 6 weeks old, she doesnt lay eggs at the moment. Yesterday she was running like a twister and in the afternoon she started limping from her right leg. I grabbed her and noticed a lesión (like a bloody bruise) and her shank was swollen. I thought...
