    The most dominant hen of flock suddenly died, need advice, graphic pictures

    Thank you so much for your kind message and sharing your experience, this means a lot to me. So you think that that fat around her organs is normal? Her vent was wide open when I found her laying on the ground and I did not see any egg shell fragments. Her vent looked like there could have...

    Is my chicken choking now? Emergency! help please.

    I wholeheartedly agree that bird needs to be for now, don’t do the cpr… sometimes birds need to do bird things to get better. Having her in quiet space with low light and food / water / oyster shells available and clean bedsing underneath helps to cal her down.

    Hen eye injury or infection?

    Thank you so much, I will keep doing it and keep you all updated. Someone mentioned that as a possibility too, but all other 30+ birds are healthy. What makes you think it could be respiratory infection? Is there anyway I can test it somehow? I highly suspect that it was one of the roosters...
