    Jealousy over holding other hens?

    I have a similar situation with one of my hens! I think that these hens are both jealous, but I'm no expert.

    Is my chicken Jealous or just stupid?

    I have quite a few hens in my flock! I absolutely love them and I spend a lot of time sitting with them and petting them and my hens quite like it. A lot of my hens don't like being held, but they'll lay down next to me and let me clean their faces when I am in the yard. I often take short naps...

    Lethargic, pale vent, dark comb, sleepy SICK HEN

    Okay, update! She is doing much, much better. I felt her crop at about 10:00 at night. She then went to sleep and stayed in my room all day. Thank God when she woke up, she was eating well and drinking a LOT. We put Vet RX and some electrolytes in her water. She was not coughing, wheezing, or...

    Lethargic, pale vent, dark comb, sleepy SICK HEN

    Quick update! I felt her crop. It's mushy and swollen. She is doing much better now and is drinking water with electrolytes in it. She is sleeping in a box in my room with some blankets. She is not eggbound, I know that, but I still don't know what to do. She is drinking water like crazy and I...

    Oh yeah, we have chicken feed! I thought you meant chick feed. I have already tried to get her to eat, but she is refusing. Should I forcefeed her?

    Lethargic, pale vent, dark comb, sleepy SICK HEN

    I will get her Gatorade right away! Unfortunately, I don't have anything else. We have no chick feed. I've already checked and we've run out. She is about 7 months old. She just started laying about half a month ago. I do not know if she had laid eggs recently. I have not seen her lay. Her crop...

    Alright thank you! I'm still new to this, but I won't worry about him anymore. Thanks for your input!

    Hen or Rooster? (Adult)

    Is there something wrong with him as why he is not mating with the other ones? He is more dominate than Black Jack and he even mates more than Flame/Fire. Also, why does his crow sound so strange? Why is he lacking spurs when Bucky has them and is from the same place and the same age? Sorry if...

    This is of my little guy. Pardon the quality. They were valiantly trying to eat the lens on my phone.

    Legal Help (?)

    I thought I might give you all an update on the situation. We have not talked to our neighbor since and the shooting has stopped! We are very careful around the chickens, though and are watching them closely to make sure that they do not go into their lawn.

    Hen or Rooster? (Adult)

    Alright, I've come across sort of a weird chicken problem. It usually wasn't important before now, but I am really itching to know what gender one of my chickens is. Their name is Fire/Flame. They are smaller than our other Cochin, Bucky, but have a large waddle and pointed tips on their hackle...

    how do i introduce my chickens to the outside?

    It depends on the crops. Our chickens barely touched most of our gardens. As long as they have other places to dust in, they should leave it alone. If you have a strawberry, blueberry, or raspberry bush you might want to block it off because they will definitely eat them. Our chickens, for some...

    Sick Hen :(

    Yes, I freerange. I will talk to my husband about getting a necropsy. Right now he is the only one allowed to leave the house. (I have a compromised immune system) It depends solely on how much it costs and how close the lab is.

    Sick Hen :(

    Another one our chickens has died this morning. I went out to check on it and thought it was dead, but after looking at it, I realized that it was still very much alive and kicking. I moved it inside, gave is some generalized poultry medication mixed with water, wrapped it in a towel and sat it...

    Legal Help (?)

    Woah, thanks for the advice! We already know what is allowed in our zone (we checked in with them before we bought the house because we moved there wanting to have some livestock in the future), so we don't have to call. We haven't pinned our chickens up because our neighbor hasn't been...
