Hello all,

Hello,
My golden comet hen (9 months old) just laid a yolk, and when I looked at her vent it looked as if part of the egg--an unhardened shell- was not able to pass. I was able to gently remove some of it, but part of it is still stuck and it looks as if she may be partially prolapsed (see...
Hi,
We have a sick chick, roughly a month old. She has labored breathing, with her whole body moving, and is chirping as she breaths. I'm trying to get electrolyte water (gatorade--recommended by the feed story) and garlic water (as seen on BYC) into her, but are having trouble doing so. Any...
Hello,
One of my Golden Comet chicks appears to be in distress. She is roughly a month old, and is chirping at a constant rate, with much of her body moving at the same time as the chirp (almost as if she was hiccuping), with her eyes closed often. Her mouth appears to be constantly moving, and...

We are building a new coop and were looking for some tips on making sure it is a healthy environment, as we've had sick chickens in the past. We have 7 chickens. Any tips to make sure this coop is better than ever would be great!
We have a 3 yr. old hen who is bloated, hunched over and unstable. I have gotten suggestions that she might be eggbound, but she only has some of the symptoms. What else could it be?
We have a three year old hen who has been bloated, walking unsteadily, and is hunched over. Recently we also saw she had mites. Is there anything we can do to get rid of the mites, and does anyone have any possible idea why she is sick?
Thank You
She is bloted, walking unsteadily and is hunched. She had a large blockage of poop that we cleaned off of her too. She all a round looks sick. I was wondering if anyone had any treatments for this or suggestions of any kind.
Thank You!
We are expirencing a heat wave here on the east coast (85 @ 8:30 am). One chicken has already died and another is showing similar symptoms...she is either sick or (most likely) needs to be cooled down. Any ideas how we can do this in a simple yet affective way? PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks

This is the WEIRDEST thing. Our three hens have been laying for about a month now. So far we have gotten 2 double yolkers! (one we know is a double and the other we just got this morning is huge, so I'm guessing it's a double yolker) My poor girl! the egg weighs like a 1/4 of her weight it soooo...
We just got our first egg! I found it on to of the hay bales in our barn. One of the girls made anes in the loose stuff. I'll be looking their tomorrow>
PICS Soon
