    My Hen is Walking Backwards

    Sorry for the delayed reply. The hen did eventually stop walking backwards. It was many weeks of this behavior - there was no obvious cure. I made sure she was well fed and watered and did electrolytes on and off for the whole flock. Other wise she just stopped doing it one day and got on with...

    My Hen is Walking Backwards

    So my Americana has stopped or almost stopped walking backwards. I haven't seen her do it in several days and when it did happen last week it was short lived, not at all as bad as the video. I think some of it has to do with her now being done with the molt and laying again. A lot of the...

    My Hen is Walking Backwards

    Hmm! Glad to hear some one else is experiencing this. It's a little weird, but if it's not life threatening it would be awesome! I need to go get more chicken food so maybe I'll up the protein since 4 of my 6 hens are molting anyway. I'll post about what happens.

If my camera was connecting to my computer properly I would take a video. She ducks her head and then starts walking...

    shell-less egg

    I'm having this problem with my Delaware hen she's at least a year now (I'd have to go find the date I got her) and has always been a good layer. She even lays double yoke eggs occasionally. But for the last week she has either not layed, or during the night has "layed" a shell-less egg from the...

    Deep Litter Method: How to control the DUST???????

    I've never had that problem but some ideas. Get some straw or hay for the run and layer it thick. It makes it a little more of a challenge to get to the dirt than shavings. Also if the dirt is really that dry get out the hose and water it down, its not going to harm them to do it a little. I...
