    Bleeding hen

    I've searched all over the Internet looking for an answer :( I have a broody Buff Orpington .... and yesterday I noticed right above her vent is really bloody. Yesterday I thought it was her vent ... so I was thinking a popped blood vessel .... but upon closer look a few minutes ago, it seems...

    We're moving but what about the chickens?

    Hi there!!! Today we are officially in escrow for our new home!! We currently have 7 hens in our backyard coop .... which we built from an old she'd (we built a large yard onto shed for them). The problem is ... it can't move with us. When we move, we'll need to move them right away with us...

    Silkies Roost?

    I've been reading up on this. I'm so sad. I only have 1 silkie. Sad she won't have anyone to silkie pile with :( How will she keep warm?

    Silkies Roost?

    Silkies roost right? My 3 girls (whom are not silkies) are now roosting together at night - they are all 10 weeks old. However, my silkie still prefers to sit on a piece of wood in the corner of the coop ... on the floor alone at night. I've even put her on the roost at night but she jumps down...

    Sick/Depressed Hen

    Thank you. 2 nights mornings ago I realized she had egg perintitis. I treated her for everything else, but didn't see the signs for that in time. She was pretty bad last night, I prayed she would die overnight because I just didn't want to watch her suffer anymore. I spent a good part of the...

    Sick/Depressed Hen

    I did read up on that ... but it says her abdomen should feel squishy. It's hard. She did eat a bit of cucumber tonight. She pecked a bit at the grass, but I really think she was pecking the water droplets. Poor girl.

    Sick/Depressed Hen

    So my evening has consisted of following Penny around til she pooped. This is what she did .... projectile water with a bit of mucus. I felt her abdomen and it seems a LOT larger than the other girls. And it's hard ... not squishy like a water balloon. I felt for an egg .. couldn't feel...

    Sick/Depressed Hen

    Ok another question. She is still acting the same ... but I noticed her crop is squishy. She's drinking a lot of water and eats ... but doesn't rush for the food like the others. When free ranging, she prefers to just lay around and will even fall asleep standing up. Yesterday I took this...

    Wazine 17 Question

    I haven't seen any worms at all. She is lethargic and lays around the yard instead of foraging like the others. She hasn't lost any weight and overall looks beautiful. Her tail is always down. She still eats and drinks, but at a MUCH slower pace. When I bring treats .. she doesn't fight for them...

    Wazine 17 Question

    Anyone? I'm really worried about my Penny girl!

    Wazine 17 Question

    Long story short and I've posted a few time already ... but I believe my hen might have worms based on her behavior (plus I've checked for everything else). Last night I put Wazine 17 in their water ... but it doesn't look like they drank much. He behavior is still the same (not sure how mnay...

    Sick/Depressed Hen

    Can you please tell me what I should give them to treat for worms just in case? I have 4 hens .... a year old tomorrow ... and 4 babies that are 7 weeks (they aren't together quite yet - same coop but separated).

    Sick/Depressed Hen

    Would worms be something I could see in their stool? I've looked closely and haven't seen anything. Would it hurt them to treat them for it anyway?

    Sick/Depressed Hen

    I know I've posted about this before ... both on here and on Facebook .. but I'm getting desperate. My Golden Laced Wyandotte will be a year old tomorrow. For about a month (maybe a tad bit more) she hasn't been acting herself. She's been moving slower, not laying many eggs, tail down, and lays...

    Depressed rooster?

    I am so sorry for your loss :( I have a Golden Laced Wyandotte hen that is harboring the same behavior. She is moving slower, tail down but still pecks at the lawn and drinks .. just at a much slower pace. I've checked for for being egg bound, I've looked for mites .. I can't find anything. She...

    injured pullet

    OK thank you. Right now they are next to each other in plastic bins in my living room. They are sharing a heat lamp ... so they are pretty close, but still separated. I'm going to build something next week to add to the existing coop outside so I can move them out with the big girls. Obviously I...

    injured pullet

    I'm just not having much luck this week! Today it was 78' out and we brought our 4 week old babies out to play I the sun. My year old RIR walked up to one ... and pecked her so bad she pretty much scalped part of her head :( I immediately put cotton on it to stop bleeding and then neosporin...

    My Wyandotte seems depressed

    Someone told me she has symptoms of Vent Gleet. She did lay an egg today .... it cracked and she started to eat it which was strange. I bathed her and gave her some yogurt with probiotic added to it. She ate it as long as we hand fed her - lol. Her crop feels ok .... no sign of mites. This has...
