    Hen walking slowly and not eating

    No sign of infection at all. I fed her twice yesterday, and she does seem somewhat better today. Still spending a lot of time sitting, but she has been able to eat a little on her own. I gave her a lot of mash and she enjoyed that. Her eye is normal today, too. Hasn't had any discharge...

    Hen walking slowly and not eating

    I have 2 hens that I've had for 2 years. No exposure to other chickens, and they've both been very healthy. One hen has been appearing progressively weaker over the last 3 days. Spends a lot of time just sitting, or walking slowly. Now today she looks like she wants to eat, but when she bends...

    hen struggling but still laying

    We're in central California; days in the 90's, night in the 60's right now. She only had those 2 soft shells, then after I gave her Caltrate, she went right back to normal eggs. She has never acted unwell, just really tired for a few minutes after laying. I've read other posts about...

    How long does broodiness last with no eggs?

    My EE went hardcore broody this summer. I kept taking her out of nest, then blocked her from coop during the day. She went so far as to hop on top and "nest" on the asphalt shingles!! Nothing could stop her from getting as close to the nest box as possible. This went on for 3 weeks before I...

    Farm Fresh Difficult to Peel

    I highly recommend Instant Pot for hard cooked eggs. I hate worrying about water temp and time and cooling off. Set the cook time for 5 minutes, and let it cool for at least 5 minutes (I once forgot them for 2 hours; they were fine). Fresh from chicken into the Pot, never mind ice bath. Just...

    HelpMe Sex My 8 Week Old EE!

    I got my EE pullet when she was 7-8 weeks. She is all black and has had a red comb all along. I think it may be the dark coloring that shows up more red than pink. I was sure from her behavior with our other pullets that she was not a rooster. She started laying at about 6 months, right around...

    My Hen is acting male🐔🍒🐓

    I just recently took in a juvenile rescue, so I've been reading a lot about genders. Apparently, most traits aren't 100% reliable (except egg laying!!). Females will crow if they have a hormone abnormality, which could explain your chicken's overgrowth and lack of mounting.
