    VIDEO - What’s Wrong with my hen?

    She threw up quite a bit of stinky liquid that my wife said smelled like “kids barf”. We have brought her inside and are only offering water currently until we get more advice. She is doing fine, trying to eat pine shavings now. 😂

    Just smelled her crop and it smells sour. After massaging it and flipping her upside down, she threw up some liquid.

    Well, I thought it was under control…

    thanks. On the bright side there hasn’t been anymore signs of foul play since I made adjustments. I’m sure it came back, and found a different situation.

    Well, I thought it was under control…

    @Nabiki most of them have not laid since the attack. How long would you think this will last? I have 13 hens left and I’m averaging 4-6 eggs a day but was getting about a dozen prior to the attack (I lost 2 hens in the attack).

    Well, I thought it was under control…

    Built my first quail pen a couple months ago. Everything was going smooth until last night….they are on 1/2” hardware cloth. I put a piece of roofing tin immediately under them to catch the droppings but they kept kicking the sand around and filling it up quick so I lowered it…too much...

    Help with Eye Ailment

    Thanks. No reason to waste what little Baytril I have on hand. I don’t have the Terramycin and like a lot of other people, we live a rural lifestyle with no chicken vets around. I did try in the past to get some help from the equine vets but they basically said no thanks even though I was only...

    Help with Eye Ailment

    Thanks @FarmerGirl101 . Do you think there is any benefit to giving her some Baytril for the infection? I have that on hand if it will be of any benefit.

    Help with Eye Ailment

    Thank you so much. She is out eating some scratch and mealworms now but doesn’t do anything fast. Hopefully since we are a week into it, we are at least nearing the peak of it.

    Help with Eye Ailment

    @FarmerGirl101 update…we tried to open her eye and it was matted closed. We did get it open but it was all milky/cloudy looking today. I couldn’t get a pic of it because she did not like it at all.

    Help with Eye Ailment

    Most of her time is just sitting. Her head being tucked only a little bit. I’ll check the eye, my wife will be home any minute, and I’ll report back. Thank you for your help!

    Help with Eye Ailment

    The only indication I have that she is uncomfortable in any way is that she seems to be sitting some and tucking her head between her wings. I wouldn’t think anything of it if others were doing the same thing (they do sit sometimes since it’s hot) but the head tucking thing and the eye not...

    Who made this coop?

    Thanks. Both of you have given me some good info and advice. Instead of making it what it was, I should be making it what I need it to be.

    Who made this coop?

    I picked this little coop up dirt cheap the other day. I plan to fix it up and make it chicken jail for naughty girls, or maybe an infirmary if we need it. I would like to build it back to its original concept, but it’s obviously missing some pieces like a divider of some sort for a nesting area...

    Is This Normal?

    Thank you. It sure seems to me that nature isn’t perfect either and it works out just fine. I will take your advice and move eggs around in the auto turner when we candle them around day 10.

    Is This Normal?

    This is the temperature read out from my Govee (best purchase ever btw, thank you). I have a Farm Innovators forced air unit. I felt it was running a little low temp wise so around midnight last night I bumped it up a half degree. These large temp swings worry me. Should I even be concerned?
