    Hen Cant Breathe Please Help

    Her crop is Ok- not terribly full but not flat and empty. I have been calling around to the local vets and so far they can all see her tomorrow- but the trip there could stress her and make it worse, on top of that most of them have no experience.

    Hen Cant Breathe Please Help

    I have a Faverolle hen that seems fine except for her chirping/wheezing/labored type breathing. She is eating/drinking so far. She has just today been shaking her head a bit. She is about 2-2 1/2 YO. We are in FL so the heat and humidity are very high. We have given her 2-3 drops of Ivermectin...

    chicks or eggs

    I am looking for frizzle chicks or eggs. I would also love BLR Wyandotte, D'uccle, Brahma chicks or eggs. I live in Florida, near Tampa Bay. I only need 1 or 2 of each breed though. Thanks. Candee Brandon [email protected]

    egg sticking half in and half out of chicken

    Thanks so much for your help!! We were able to help her get it out around 1130 last night. She is nesting and acting fine now. Gave her some hard boiled egs like you suggested and just keeping her calm and quiet for a little bit- I will probably put her back out later today. Thank you again!!

    egg sticking half in and half out of chicken

    she does get crushed oyster shell as free choice. The egg yolk and white have been out. See I went to make sure they were all in bed- she was in the nest box- I found the yolk and egg white in the box- it looked as though someone had cracked open a perfectly good egg. I helped her to the roost...

    egg sticking half in and half out of chicken

    It is definitely a soft shell that is sticking out. We got the lubricant as much as we could around the shell- but we are afraid to pull to much and hurt her. My hubby said that you can feel her vent muscles (whatever its called) contracting not enabling him to pull the egg out more without...
