    Is my chicken eggbound?

    First off, I have had a whole genetic line of chickens come from one original hen that two or more died from eggbinding. I am down to the last two girls (original hen and daughter) who are prone to it. So about 5 days ago I noticed one (the daughter) has been looking eggbound - she is showing...

    Change in hen's eye - worried

    I know I have read about Mareks, that is why I am so worried!!!!!! I have ten chickens in all. Something physically actually happened to the eye (she held it closed for a day or so and then it when she opened it again it was all black and then it changed again). So there were 3 different changes...

    Looking for advice on treating burst abscess near hen's breastbone

    I am not seeing a vet. I was thinking maybe I could get an inject-able from Tractor supply or an online vet supply... but since it's only one chicken it might not be worth it.

    Looking for advice on treating burst abscess near hen's breastbone

    I have one but it has Pramoxine HCI... that's bad right? If so I will have to go out and get the regular kind. So you don't recommend antibiotic injection?

    Looking for advice on treating burst abscess near hen's breastbone

    A couple days ago I noticed one of my hens not being as active as the others. She also has been in the egg sitting position more than usual even outside the nest.

    Wazine and laying hens

    Hi I have given my hens wazine once a year for two years and they have been fine. I am confused because on here it often says wazine isn't for laying hens - why? is it bad for them or the eggs? We have always waited at least a week until we eat the eggs after dosing them. This year I decided to...
