I'm wondering the same thing... Two broody hens, and one additional hen and rooster.

It's my father in law's chicken. What's going on? Should we cull her to put her out of her misery?

Guess what!? SECOND EGG!! Woohooo!

Thanks everyone! I'm still super excited about it! :D That's just one more thing to add to the beauty of having chickens, every day is an Easter egg hunt! :D

I'm very proud to announce that after seven weeks of waiting patiently with my new flock, I've got my first egg! The even cooler part is, I think it came from one of my mixed red pullets-- her first egg ever! :D It's a lovely light brown, hard shell, normal "medium" egg shape... A great first...

I've heard to use Dawn on them. I hope my response does you good at some point, I'm a little late! And I politely disagree with the above poster, sometimes chickens can get dirty butts and poo cakes in their feathers.. I have one fluffy butt Orpington who apparently is too high and mighty to...

Thank you for your help! :)

Turns out, I think the other buff hen may be the culprit. She's plucking and eating feathers from all of my chickies! Eeek! Their food is 17% protein I think, so I'm gonna mix in some grower for a few days maybe? This chicken is twice the size of all of my other hens AND bigger than my rooster...

This is going to be what I ask hubby for for Valentine's day! I'm so excited!

I've told the story of Big Papa, the rooster with the thick mouth drainage and runny, sometimes bubbly eyes. The drainage was stinky and his eyes were often crusted over. I treated him with VetRX and ACV and he seemed as good as new for a week, then took a sudden downturn and stayed fluffed up...

Bless her little heart! Finally got a few pictures to show you guys

Very smart! Great idea! Thank you, everyone! These forums are really a lifesaver. Phew! :lol:

Thank you! I put Vaseline on it right away when I got her, so I'm glad you think it's a good idea to use it. :) When you mentioned Neosporin it dawned on me that i have HP Healing Creme from the vet I worked at.. It's a homeopathic version of Neosporin for animals.. I can't believe I had...

I was given two buff Orpington hens today to add to my lovely flock (yay!!), but it seems the rooster roughed one of my girls up a bit yesterday before she came to me. :( I'm only guessing it was her rooster because of the nature/placement of the injuries. I don't have this problem with my...

Mine LOVE bananas! Bananas cause lots of chasing and bickering. But today.... I'm cooking them black eyed peas! :)

The course of the conversation... Adults aren't nearly so positive! :) plus I've seen a lot of mentioning of school... Is turning 25 this year, is happily married, and is pregnant!

I'm thinking the participants of this thread are extremely young....

Noo :( very sorry to hear that!

Started using my locally owned feed store instead of Tractor Supply, and I'm saving tons of money! :D

Thanks guys! My husband thinks I'm overreacting but it's very sad!
