    Hen acting strange

    Ok, Stella is still not wanting to stand, and being very aggressive. I need some opinions. Should I check to see if she's egg bound? I don't know what to do. I don't want anything bad to happen to her. She won't even let me put my hand near her without trying to peck me. So, please, and thank...

    Hen acting strange

    She doesn't seem to be losing her balance. It's more as if her legs are just giving out from beneath her, and she just plops into onto a laying position.

    Hen acting strange

    I'm hoping she's just broody, and moody, and that I'm just not used to the way she acts when in this state. As far as I know she hasn't laid any eggs yet. My other hen only goes broody after she's actually laid a clutch of eggs. Do chickens go broody in hope of having eggs? Maybe Stella's just...

    Hen acting strange

    Ok, I've had Stella inside for a few hours now, and she still doesn't want to stand, and she's all of a sudden got an attitude which is out of character for her. She's usually very sweet, and friendly, but now she keeps pecking at me violently whenever I put my hand near her. She still has quite...

    Hen acting strange

    Thanks guys! I think maybe I'll go with heat exhaustion first, since it's been very hot lately. Is there any other way to tell if a hen is egg bound. I definitely don't want to rule that out.

    Hen acting strange

    My hen, Stella has been acting kind of weird since yesterday. She doesn't seem to want to stand up. If I have food for her, then she'll come to me, but then immediately plops down into a laying position as if her legs have given out from beneath her. Any time I stand her up, she just plops right...

    My rooster keeps puncturing his comb, and losing LOTS of blood!!!

    Thanks for the reply. Their coop is actually child proofed. I made sure of that, but it's not that simple because my chickens have total run of my yard, which isn't very big, throughout the day. They like to hang out under my house, and in the bushes, and I'm sure Diego's just getting into...

    My rooster keeps puncturing his comb, and losing LOTS of blood!!!

    Ok, my poor rooster, Diego keeps hitting his comb on things until it bleeds profusely. It's happened 3 times in the past month and a 1/2. This morning when I let him out of his coop he was fine, then next thing I know, he's bleeding all over the place! All it is is a very small puncture on one...

    So many worming posts! Who to believe?

    All I have to say is Diatomaceous Earth! (the food grade kind) It works wonders, and it's all natural so it won't hurt any of your birds that may not have worms. I just mix it in with the scratch until it's coated in the powder, and feed it to them. The very first time I used it, about a year...

    Chicken sexing

    Does anyone have any clear, color photos of chicks being vent sexed? The only pictures I can find on the internet are unclear, black and white photos.

    Has anyone ever heard of using an AC unit in a chicken coop?

    I've heard of heated coops, but I live in Key West, Fl, and I was thinking about sound proofing my coop, although in the summer that would most definitely fry my chickens. I was having trouble with some neighbors a few months ago, so my rooster has been staying at the wildlife center where I...
