    Oh. Also the eye appears to be pushed down as the swelling is only at the top.

    advise and help: hen with one swollen eye, no respiratory problems

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I cannot do a picture without help from someone to hold her. So, I'll have to wait till the weekend. Second, her eye was always a "bum" eye. Small looking cause she has a partial lid, skin? over it. That's the eye that got it. I hope that it is only...

    advise and help: hen with one swollen eye, no respiratory problems

    Hi. I have one hen who has recently developed swelling only on the upper portion of her eye. Her other eye is fine and there is no sneezing, running, or anything else wrong with her. She eats well, appears active, but does seem to be in pain as she makes a high pitched scream once or three...

    Also, I think your biggest chicken enemy would be mongoose. They can be crafty, eat eggs and attack even adult birds...doesn't mean that they have no use, as with all life, everything has a purpose. Strong, sturdy wire buried under the ground, etc. definitely helps as christwodog said.

    I agree with Shamo. Why buy? Most of the feral chickens roaming around the street are abandoned or escaped chickens. Just adopt a few. Mine lay eggs every day or every other day. Plus, you can have a chicken that is tough enough to survive the streets so is grown enough to lay almost...

    Is it possible to have a permanently bald chicken

    Thank you but drat. Do you think it would be safe for her to be housed with the other "normal" chicken?

    Is it possible to have a permanently bald chicken

    These are old photos. One shows her injuries with meds on and the other after it healed but it's the same even after the molt.

    Is it possible to have a permanently bald chicken

    Hi. My sister gave me a rescue chicken last year around October. She was pecked bald down to the skull but now has all her skin grown back and her feathers except for a strip--kind of like a mohawk with no hair...erp. Feathers. Just pink/red skin. She is isolated by herself. She has just...

    Nail polish...

    My chicken, The Buttercup(she has earned the title, The)... The other day, I found myself painting my nails the gold dust color that must have been around for decades. I needed to do it for other reasons. Anyway, afterward I went out to tend to The Buttercup. Omg. She kept her beady eyes on...

    Blue egg layers in China

    Mimi. Perhaps the plate is small? Making the eggs look extra big? Or they really are big. Anyway, those soda cans are actually thinner and shorter than U.S. soda cans. The first time I saw it, I was startled. It was during a visit to Korea. Of course, I'm not a hundred percent sure. I've...

    Don't laugh. Speaking of the size of eggs, this is The Buttercup's average egg size thus far. She's been laying for almost a month.
