    Time change

    Broken beak...will not eat or drink. Please help!

    Today, I tried to get her back with the flock, but it did not go well. I gave them all a big treat buffet and let her enter to share it. All was good until treats were over. 1 other hen confronted her with the whole puffed chest and feathers and they grabbed each other. I separated them...

    Broken beak...will not eat or drink. Please help!

    The vet came yesterday and used super glue on her beak and showed me how and also brought her some pain medecine. He is hoping that she can eat dry crumbles later today so that she will be able to return the flock tomorrow. She still prefers wet food and mashed fruit but now takes the berries in...

    Frequent nail breakage

    I didn't really know where to post this, is it might go under coop design. In the last week, 3 of my girls have broken the back"thumb nail." For 2 of them, it tore the quick and bled heavily. Those nails were not what I would say is long. Is that nail supposed to be very short...very little off...

    Help...prolapsed vent

    1 yr old Barred Rock really straining this morning and noticed vent prolapse. Seemed like having a hard time pooping. After 20 min and poop cleaned off, the vent went back in on its own. I have her in a warm bath now, but her vent is not submerged. Do I need to make sure that she sits/submerged...
