    Hen missing feathers on her stomach

    Is she possibly preparing to go broody? Its common for them to pluck chest feathers when going broody.

    Dang multiquote isn't working. I thought I was doing bad with 2-3 eggs per day from my flock of 7! I have one down due to a mini molt, and one has not laid in over a week. They are, however, enjoying lots of pumpkins and squash as treats!

    We had the exact same problem last week,sans wet butt. We brought her into the kennel and started to withhold food around 7 or 8pm on Thursday. By the next morning the prolapse had gone back in. We went ahead and bathed her anyway. and continued to keep her in the dark to prevent laying. She...

    Tetanus doesn't even bother me, unless there has been livestock on the property and even then tetanus needs an oxygen free environment to live. So as long as it's a free bleeding wound (and not a puncture) that was made my something that has not been around livestock your good! All these...

    My daughter is a barefoot girl too. I have to admit, after growing up on a ranch as a child, nothing bothers me. However, last year our friends daughter fell and cut her knee on a goat stanchion. A few stitches, no big deal. 2 days later she is being flown to Oakland with a horrible flesh eating...

    If only I had room in my flock! I have my uncles incubator right now and could hatch them for you. It is styrofoam, and is a pain to get the humidity right though.

    The first link says there is no withdrawal period, but I would personally worry about any antibiotic use in eggs creating resistant bacteria in humans.

    Thank you all for your help and pointers during my unexpected hatch! It so did not go as planned, but everyone seems to have made it safe and sound. Dang broody hen lured me into thinking she would be a good mama! We still have one marans egg in the bator that is at day 23 with no pip, and...

    Squishy is doing well today. The leg seems to be moving back under her. After further inspection it seems that the small outer toe is fused to the middle toe. I don't want to separate them, as she just went through quite the ordeal. I will leave that to Shantih, as they will be heading down...

    Yes, she walks a bit...but not fully, so far. She was in the cup until about an hour ago. Her umbilical cord was still attached, but completely dry so I clipped it, and took her out of the cup. That leg sticks out towards the front. I was thinking of hobbling her. It looks like that toe is...

    Here are pictures of Squishy's foot. She carries it forward and it looks like maybe the outer toe is fused....it is really hard to tell. What are the best early treatment options? [/IMG][/IMG]

    The yolks are absorbed. I am a bit worried about the squished chicks toes . My neighbor is coming over shortly and I am going to have her help me so I can tape her toes. The cord fell off the Bresse, but not the squished chicks. I will spray some vetricin on it when I tape its toes. The hen...
