    2 year old sex-link

    My 2 year old sex-link had been laying eggs up until a few months ago. Her roommate is still laying eggs (not same breed). She goes up in the coop like she's going to lay, but nothing.

    Baby chicks found dead

    Agree, just waiting to see what happens with the 2 eggs left. I do have another broody hen, thought I will put them under her if she gets off of the nest.

    Baby chicks found dead

    No, she is in one of planter pots. She has 2 eggs left and I checked and they are solid no liquid. Just have to see if they make it.

    Baby chicks found dead

    I have a new momma hen, she was sitting on 5 eggs. Found 3 dead so far, can not see anything wrong with them. She has 2 more under her. What would be causing them to die? They were a day old, perfectly formed. Is she stepping on them or smothering them?

    Mamma died

    I worry about my rooster, he's old but still has memories of being a randy young rooster. She's staying close to tthe house. The chickens roost on my tack room, no coop. She was going up there, but I think she sensed her momma wasn't well and came back down. Hopefully she will go up with them...

    Mamma died

    My mamma hen died last night and she really never integrated the her 10 week old baby into the flock. They are not accepting her. She has been crying, so sad and she is sitting on my back door step. The other chickens have left her and I don't know what to do.

    Hen dying chick won't leave

    It looks like my hen is dying and her chick, who is old enough to go with the rest of the flock, won't leave her.They have been together since she was born for months. They are very close. My hen looks sick and the baby is trying to get underneath her, even though she's as big as mom. At this...

    1 year old quit laying

    Our 1 year old black sex-link quit laying. The other 2 are laying everyday. She goes into the nest everyday to lay, but nothing. She also was laying some very small eggs, no yoke. She's not egg bound or she would be dead by now. They had mites a couple of months ago but we treated them for that...

    Hen's killing one of my hen, feather by feather.

    Update: We had to put her down. She wouldn't eat, drink or stand up. Took her back to the veterinary and he gave us the bad news. The hen's had caused nerve damage, her G.I. track was messed up and she was developing sour croup. She was the sweetest chicken, always wanting to nestle on your...

    Hen's killing one of my hen, feather by feather.

    The equaide is a topical used for treating wounds on all animals a provides a scab shell to protect the skin. It's great stuff for medical treatment but getting if off her, it suppose to eventually dissolve. Then I read up on it again it also protects the wound from flies. And thank you.

    Hen's killing one of my hen, feather by feather.

    That's why I took her to the vet, if the couldn't help her I would have put her down. The doctor said she would make it, I don't believe in letting any animal suffer also. I hope he's right and I will make sure she's not in pain.

    Hen's killing one of my hen, feather by feather.

    She actually is suppose to be a small hen, but she was the runt. She will not be going back to the coop so I guess I will have mostly a indoor chicken. We bought 4 chicks last spring and one was killed by a hawk so we her and the older chick and they were together until we put them with the...

    Hen's killing one of my hen, feather by feather.

    Is it okay to use my horse fly repellent on my hen? She was attacked by her flock and hurt her horribly, tore up her vent. I just want to put her out when she heals up and I know she will never be able to go back to the flock. I just want to make sure that flies can't get to her bottom. She is...

    I wanted to know how much a person has felt when they lost a pet chicken in their arms I'm having her cremated and I can't seem to get over her death.

    I had a longhorn and she was some what crippled. When she was doing good she was outside. She had problems passing eggs, so I would take her the veterinarian and they would treat her. She was a pet and she also had a diaper when she was in the house. She would jump up on my bed and watch T.V...

    I wanted to know how much a person has felt when they lost a pet chicken in their arms I'm having her cremated and I can't seem to get over her death.

    Am I just over emotional or has anyone felt like this? The few chickens we have left, I just can't care about. She was a half indoor/outdoor chicken. She even had a diaper.
