    Oldest Hen Age and Breed

    Aww, those EE's seem to be such a hardy breed.❤️ My oldest is an EE too. She'll be 12 this April. Do you mind me asking what supplements you use to help with arthritis? I have a 10 yr old Speckled Sussex that seems like she might have a little arthritis starting.

    Friendly chicken - Speckled Sussexes, Rocks, or Australorps??

    Welcome to BYC! I have never had Silkies, but I have had Speckled Sussexes, Barred Rocks and and an Australorp. All 3 have have been lap girls and excellent breeds.

I have 2 older girls...one is 11 1/2 and the other 9 1/2 and I'm thinking they...

    Do you think I should withhold food for a 2nd day? I feel hesitant to do so, especially since she's on an antibiotic as well and could possibly fighting a little infection. She did pass a decent amount of poop last night for not having any food, but her crop still had a good size feel to it this...

    Update: I ended up getting a vet appointment for her since I really was hoping to get an xray to see if there was anything abnormal inside of her. Her appointment was yesterday and she spent most of the day there. They did their exam and didn't feel any eggs, or mass inside of her, which is...

    Thank you so much for your reply! Yes, I saw that same thing that you're pointing out in photo and it was bedding. When I saw it from a distance I thought worm, but I poked at it and luckily it was just the bedding. They were last dewormed this past spring, so I'll get some Valbazen and do a...
