    Rotten food under tung

    one of my hens is having trouble walking as if she’s too heavy for her legs so we picked her up so try to figure out what is wrong.

    Injured hen

    When mine was attacked yesterday we thought she was dead because when the hawk flew away she just laid there like she was dead.And it was for several minutes. But when we went to pick her up, she got up and started to walk. My husband says they go into shock. Maybe yours almost got attacked...

    Injured hen

    Injured hen

    Is it just to keep the others from pecking on her or medicated ointment? She needs something on it so it doesn't get infected.

    Injured hen

    One of my hens almost got killed by a hawk but we scared it away but my hen has a bald spot on her back the size of a small lime that is raw bloody skin. She's separated from the rest of the flock so they can't peck at her. My question is what can I put on it in this winter 25-30 degree weather...

    Chicks intestines are coming out

    Mine turned out to be the umbilical area not the vent but she passed away that night. It was the first night we had her.

    when do I put my girls back on layer feed

    Switching from grower feed to layer feed

    I have a rooster with my hens and pullets. Does that mean I should not ever feed layer? I have 4 hens laying and 3 pullets that just started laying and waiting for 3 more pullets to lay. Should I switch to layer or not and if yes, when? Thank you so much for the help

    when do I put my girls back on layer feed

    I switched my hens to flock raiser when I put my young pullets in with them. Now 3 of my 6 pullets are laying so when should I switch all of them to layer feed?
