    What did you do with your flock today?

    Whew! Thank you for the reassurance. No egg, and she is coming out of her molt, so I don't think she's laying according to how her little vent looks and her narrow pelvic distance. I am letting her have wild bird food(Yay, treats!) and not layer feed. It's not that cold here, for chickens...

    Hen died from sudden prolapse—what caused this?

    So sorry for your losses. Unfortunately, what you described tells me that she indeed had a prolapse, but with her insides laying beside her probably means that the other chickens saw it at the beginning, and proceeded to peck at her vent and pulled out her intestines. It is so sad to find any...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    The end of her comb is a bit bluish. Is this a sign of something else? To my surprise, she did not become anxious or jumpy, was just still and relaxed in her soak and blowdry without my holding her at all. How can I tell if she is trying to pass an egg? her belly didn't seem distended, and her...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Well, today found one of the hens have a prolapse and vent gleet. I saw it as she went to roost, so she was easy to catch. I had put her in a cage, went to do something and she had gotten out.! She got to roam the yard for awhile, and it was dusk, so I approached her, and she actually didn't...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Sounds like you have a great walk-in coop. We didn't think about that when DH built ours, so it is hard to reach the birds when they are roosting. Luckily, they don't all roost in there.

    Topic of the Week - Chickens and Fall Leaves

    Fall 2024, our fruit trees are in the fenced chicken yard. Lo and behold, we did not even rake last year, and all the leaves were nicely shredded and tilled by the chickens. Less work for us, more fun for them. Win win!

    What did you do with your flock today?

    How much fun! Little girls and boys growing up under your watchful eye. Hopefully they have stayed on the roosts by now. More adventures to post, for sure. Welcome to this thread.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    All the Marans ones I bought last Spring from Jenks have feathered legs, but right now in molt they are naked. So yesterday, an EE hen was seen mounting one of the CM hens (poor thing, she is molting and couldn't have felt too good with all that) and another hen came and pecked at the CM's head...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    :hit Found Caramel this morning, who had died in the coop under the roosting bars. She was one of the 5 EEs I got last year. Meanwhile, keeping my radar on for badly behaving cockerels. My DIL is experienced in prepping a bird for roasting.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Thanks! Our zoning does not permit boys, although neighbors didn't complain (of noise) in the past. I'll have to see how they act, but will probably rehome them. They are already large! Everyone got treats of kale, BSF and birdseed. The boys are still quite jumpy and leary of Alfa and Kogasa,#1 & 2.
