    Purple comb and hen not eating

    Right then! I'll make her as comfortable as I can now that she's older. Thankfully her comb has returned to a shade that I find more normal. Not bright red but not that deeper purple shade.

    Purple comb and hen not eating

    I'm guessing she is a delaware, since I hatched her I never got a confirmation. I'm guessing it's just something I can't treat then? But just make her comfortable now that she's older?

    Purple comb and hen not eating

    So my hen. She's about to be 3 this month. But I noticed for like the last week she's kind of refusing to eat her feed. Then again I did change it so maybe thats it? But regardless. I have hand fed her and she does eat, comes for scratch and treats but on her own just decides to sunbathe and...

    Hen emergency

    When pressing the crop I haven't seen her aspirate any fluid but I can check in the morning for sure. No mites from what I could see though now that she is caged I can check her when she is awake. She is breathing normally. Isn't gaping or huffing or anything. I've treated her foot the same as...

    Hen emergency

    ill try that given she is just about to be 2 years old soonish. Her weight i want to say is normal? she is a sapphire splash hen and shes always been very little. Like i could always feel her breast bone and on her sister which is also a splash sapphire. im not sure if that is common on that hen...

    Hen emergency

    ill go ahead and rush to the walgreens then. Her crop isnt as full its kind of like maybe the size of a quarter if that? The last time i can safely say she laid an egg herself was perhaps a week ago. Its been colder so only two hens that aren't her have laid. Her diet is a complete flock feed...

    Hen emergency

    For a few days now my hen hasn't been doing great. I can't tell for certain what she may have or what it could be. I was thinking maybe it's the fact it's cold and she has bumble foot. Then I was thinking it's respiratory and then I thought egg bound and now I'm not even sure. Today she's the...

    Dead rooster

    Two hens fighting

    So the fighting problem i had thankfully has reduced when i introduced more feeders and waterers are back and running thanks to the warmer weather. I know chickens fight and its normal. I guess im asking what to do if this pecking doesn't get resolved. Two hens are just really at each other's...

    How to reduce unwanted behavior?

    i have 13, one rooster and 12 hens, one of which is older but still head hen. im not sure about coop size but its big, i do know they have 5k square feet of free range, I did add more feeders and that seems to do the trick as well as spreading out their toys. was just worried since it was every...
