I would get her to the vets as soon as possible. If you don't catch it early there's a good chance she'll die and you can't really tell how long she's been like that for. I've had an egg-bound hen and unfortunately, that same sad fate happened to her not too long ago. A reason a hen would...

@Sneebsey @Eggcessive Thank you so much for your words of comfort. I didn’t get to check her out because it was 11:00 pm and we buried her right after she passed. She smelled sick or infected or something. I’m not sure. We’re pretty sure it’s because she was egg bound. Thanks again :hugs

Congrats! Looks adorable!!!

Last night, Lillian sadly passed away. I was holding her when she passed, and I can tell everyone she passed pretty quickly and wasn’t suffering. R.I.P baby girl ❤️

Ill look at her crop right now. I do feel something like an egg and its fairly large. I don't think she's laid anything for the past two or three days. And normally, she doesn't roost on the ground. She just started doing that a couple days ago (Which is when I noticed something was wrong.)...

Thank you so much! I definitely will.

I’m pretty sure I figured out what was wrong with her. I think she’s egg bound. I’m soaking her right now. Thanks for all the help you guys have given me!

I will definitely check her tonight and the coop, too! I really appreciate your help! :hugs

Yes, they free roam so they have plenty of places to dust in our woods. And thats actually her stomach. I do try picking at their bumblefoot with tweezers and I do wrap their feet if I expose it. I couldn't find any mites or anything, and ill look into the worms thing. And I believe its both...

Shes only about two. And I appreciate any advice I can get. And I have not checked her for mites yet, but I will do that right now. Thank you!

One of my black australorps have a pale comb, she’s extremely skinny, and when it looks like she’s about to eat, she just drops the food. She won’t roost, she only lies down on the ground. I came back from somewhere today around lunch time (I left super early so it was still dark out) just to...

What do you mean by it not working well, are they not drinking out of it? And what do you mean by cups, are they buckets?

I probably would definitely put in a heating lamp. My flock actually is molting during this time of year. Maybe theres some sort of animal like a snake or something eating your eggs. I've actually caught different snakes eating my eggs, but hens normally just slow down or stop laying during this...

No problem! Hopefully this works for you!

She's beautiful! If I lived anywhere near you I would definitely take her! I currently have two Americanas right now! Hope you get someone to take her, and I hope she gets a good home!
