    What is going on with this hen?

    I do offer calcium in oyster shell and do give a bit of their egg shells back to them. I feed premium feed (Kalmbach Farms). I also give them Hen Boost in their water once in a while, to give extra vitamins and nutrients. I don’t feed them much table scraps, but they do free range most of the time.

    What is going on with this hen?

    I have a sexlink girl, only 2. She had started to lay eggs with a flat side! Then, she hasn’t laid in over a month. Sometimes she acts down, and I give her a bath or in a day or two she seems fine. Today, she laid the strangest egg I have ever seen and can’t even find in online. It was brown...

She is looking puffed up and a bit lethargic now. I have her separate from the flock now, but not sure what to do. She has a lot of calcium. We...

    I have a flock, all around 1 yr old. They have had tapeworm for gosh, 6 months. I talked to my vet (not really helpful) but gave hens Safeguard in their water. Did not work.

    Why are my chicks walking like ducks?

    Okay, so I am not new to raising chicks, but I currently have a chick who has been doing this. She walks around like a duck and does not seem to know how to shake it off after. Only when I pick her up and get her to flutter, does she walk normally again. New behavior-never seen in my experience...

    Newbie here

    This February, we got our first four hens: 2 Buffs, 1RIR, and 1 Barred Rock. Everything has gone great-loads of learning. Each day I worry if I am doing everything right.

    Chicken with high fever

    I have a hen that sounds similar. She is lethatgic and not coming out of the coop. Took her to the vet and she had a temp of 106.5. The vet gave anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic. She did fecal test. Just waiting for results. Her poop was milky yellow and we did not feel egg-impaction. Any ideas...
