    Hen Heaving/Convulsing (as if to vomit)

    I will, thanks! If there's a potential blockage, should I be doing anything else, like massaging the crop? Or isolating her?

    Hen Heaving/Convulsing (as if to vomit)

    Looks like I might have to be fashioning one soon....

    Hen Heaving/Convulsing (as if to vomit)

    Thank you! I only checked in the afternoon (somewhat empty) and then at night (full) but couldn't this morning, so I will keep monitoring and check tonight and tomorrow again. I did notice today that there was very little poop under her roosting spot

    Hen Heaving/Convulsing (as if to vomit)

    So, I know they can't exactly vomit, just trying to be descriptive of the weird movement my 15 month old hen is making - I am attaching a video here of a few instances for you to see. It has been 2 days now. Yesterday, I grabbed her and felt her crop - it was wide/spread out, somewhat empty and...

    droopy/swollen eyes

    Thank you eggcessive (also, great username!) Gonna go out and try to find Terramycin, but if not, I have plain neosporin laying around (the closest tractor supply is pretty far from me) Ok, so here is what I am going with - let me know if I am making any mistakes: 1) Hold head down, pull lower...

    droopy/swollen eyes

    Hey Wyorp Rock, thank you so much for your response - I am waiting until tonight to grab her and do a more thorough check including inside the beak - if I see anything suspicious, I will post further photos here. When I first got back from evacuation, there was some ammonia smell from the the...

    droopy/swollen eyes

    Hey Everyone, I have a 1 yr old speckled sussex whose eyes have looked strange for a few days now... they are always half closed, maybe a little swollen. She was acting much like her other 3 flockmates, pecking/scratching/preening/laying and pooping normally, as far as I can tell - but it seems...

    Comment by 'CajunChooks' in article 'A Raspberry PI controlled DIY Coop Door (with Python code!)'

    I got this one from eBay and was going to use longer screws going into it to keep the line inside, kind of a makeshift reel. But now I am designing and 3d printing a custom geared solution. I can share that when I am done if anyone is interested...

    Earlobe Favus (close-up photos)

    duh, completely missed the second part - so she does have mites? I am assuming it's pretty early, or not that serious yet, right?

    Earlobe Favus (close-up photos)

    Awesome! thanks for the help! I had never seen any photos of a barred rock or australorp with white ears, so I thought it was weird.

    Earlobe Favus (close-up photos)

    Even if they were already bright red before? The only reason I am concerned is because it's two hens, from two different breeds, that were once red and quickly started turning white

    Oh, i forgot one important question! Can I still eat the eggs while applying the anti-fungal cream?

    Earlobe Favus (close-up photos)

    So first, I have indeed read several threads before posting, but still had some doubts as nothing seemed to describe my specific situation. I mostly see posts about Favus in combs/wattles. Also, first time flock owner and wanting confirmation... I have included some really close up photos, and...

    BUYER BEWARE.... RentACoop products

    Hold on a sec, you said they rent HENS??? That's a thing? Like "meh, I just want a chook for a month or two..."

    BUYER BEWARE.... RentACoop products

    I believe rent-a-coop is just the brand name of the company that sells a bunch of chicken stuff, feeders, waterers etc. Not literally a rental service. All I ever got from them was some water nipples, those were fine, but apparently a lot of this other stuff is not according to @skygoddess11

    2x4 for roosts?

    According to the scientific study posted on this thread, you are pretty much on the mark for the best roost (in terms of pressure on foot pads and keel bones, which is what the study investigated). I attached a PDF of it in the last post
