    Sick hen, when to cull

    You aren't answering my question at all. My state is irrelevant. I'm basically asking for support over losing a pet and you want to go on a spill about antibiotics and superbugs?

    Sick hen, when to cull

    I can't say for sure what she has but I was afraid for maybe egg yolk peritonitis so I tried the only antibiotics I have.

    Sick hen, when to cull

    I have a sick 4ish year old EE that I have been treating for 3 days. I'm sure it's time to cull her but I'm struggling with the decision. She's my favorite and the head hen. I noticed over the past couple weeks that she was laying less but I thought it was her age. Then a few days ago she...

    What about the crowing as well? I think just either crowing or odd eggs alone wouldn't worry me, but with both.....

    Crowing and odd eggs

    No rooster. They eat a mix of tucker mills and kalmbach layer feed, same feed since they've been grown.

    Crowing and odd eggs

    I have a ~3 year old EE that I has recently crowed a few times. The past couple weeks she is laying less, and her last 2 eggs were not normal. A fairy egg, then a shell-less egg. Do I need to worry?😔 I'm afraid she has a reproductive disease.

    When to treat a sneeze?

    How broody to add day old chicks?

    I have a BO that has been semi broody all spring-fussy, puffed up all day, low cluck. She is 1. This past week or so she has increased her broodiness it seems and is on the nest most of the day unless I move her (even when i put her out she sits on the ground puffed up and mad). I am considering...

    Chicken poo/compost tea in the garden

    Thanks! My plants are still small-like 6 inches tall, should I let them start to fruit first? I'm so afraid of burning them. How often should I use it vs just watering them?

    2 eggs within 2 hours-pic

    So just some helpful info, I only have 4 girls so I know them pretty well. Little bit was in the nest earlier. I come out to give treats and she doesn't look right. I grab her and she lays the small egg as I hold her. Back to acting herself. I check the box and she had also laid the other...

    Broody behavior in "sisters" ? ?

    This was from when they first started laying, I took her to see her sister since she was freaking out. Yes they can go any time but ya know, tiny brains 😆They can't hatch the eggs they aren't fertile.

    Broody behavior in "sisters" ? ?

    I dont have a roo, I'm just wondering if them being so close and the one acting differently is making the other fussy.

    Broody behavior in "sisters" ? ?

    So I have just 4 girls and 2 are "sisters". They are the same breed and same age and very attached. Winnie and Sarah. Sarah started laying a few weeks before Winnie and Winnnie would yell the whole time unless I put her in the coop so she could see. Well, now Sarah seems to be thinking about...
