    Paralysed hen please help

    Sadly my hen died, I think she had a stroke after she got a bit better... I trained her legs every day a few times, and started to walk a little again, so all I can advise you is to train her leg muscles, massage them and practice walking. The vitamin complex is pretty much all you can do...

    Paralysed hen please help

    I'm already giving her that, she gets a very good quality feed, lots of treats and fresh veggies. She's not very low in the order even though she's so small.

    Paralysed hen please help

    Help laying problem

    I found my sebright hen standing in the coop all hunched over, looking like she was in pain, she couldn't really walk and I think an egg is stuck, her vent looks very strange though. Could it be a prolapse? Did anyone peck her? Pls help

    Is keeping quails and chickens together possible?

    I have a very big flock of about 50 chickens. I've got some big hens like sulmtaler, lakenfelder and medium sized ones like lohmanns. They live together with a lot of bantams for example sebrights and dwarf cochins. My question is - since my very large run would be quail safe (double close...

    What is this thing next to the egg???

    I see, thank you. I might have a hunch which hen it was, she had a very soft egg a few days ago, followed by a sour crop but I could luckily get rid of that. Maybe it's still an infection from the crop and laying tract?

    What is this thing next to the egg???

    I have no idea what this thing is, it was next to a weird egg in the laying box, my hens are all acting normal but I'm really worried? What is that??? It feels like flesh and it's hard

    At my wit's end...

    Yes she's a high production breed... I've started treating the sour crop with nystatin to get rid of the fungal infection and massaged her a bit

    At my wit's end...

    Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice what to do with my sick hen. She's an 18 month old rescue hen (Lohmann brown) and such a sweet girl, I really don't want to lose her. It all started 2 days ago when she stood all lethargic and I noticed a soft egg hanging from her butt. I gently pulled it out...

    Did I purchase sick hens?

    Gurgling sounds might be respiratory sickness, are there no vets near you? When my chickens get sick, I don't take them to the vet, I just describe the symptoms to the vet and they give me the right medication, maybe try that?😬 Otherwise I'd give them radish with some onions and lots of garlic...

    Hen won't accept her chick

    I definitely will if she keeps pecking it, I won't wait for her to draw blood.. I have a plastic box where I could put it in and will buy a heat lamp if it's necessary

    Hen won't accept her chick

    Hello, I'm very worried right now, my cochin hen won't accept her own chick, it's her Own, not a foreign one, she keeps pecking it on the head when it comes too close to her face, and now I don't know what to do. Raise the chick alone without the mum with a heat lamp? I don't know how to do that...

    What is going on with this egg?

    I got a shock when I cracked it open.. Has it just gone bad? Why is it so red? It doesn't smell bad btw Edit: I just realized that it's most likely a half developed chick 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Swollen face

    Yes, the pink area beneath her beak, it's only on one side so my guess was she was stung too, but I will also check inside her peak thanks
