    Strange orange ring in my hens yolks

    One of my faithful customers sent me this picture this morning as she boiled several eggs. These eggs were laid last week. It is very strange that all but one had this strange dark orange ring in the yolk. Any suggestions of what this could be? My hens are not sick that I'm aware. The only...

    Rooster rejecting only one particular hen. He spurred her pretty bad yesterday.

    My rooster has 28 hens and all of the hens are laying. I have one buff orpington that he will mate and then attack. A while back I had to put her in the isolation pen because he almost pulled her comb completely off. I treated her and it healed up nicely and now each time I try to integrate...

    Respiratory issue in my flock

    Question regarding 5 hens that I have in a separate 'hospital' due to the treatment. I have a flock of 30 and I've pulled out 5 of them because they were the worst with wheezing/coughing and sneezing. I've been treating these for 3 days with Tylan 50 injections. Because my others in the big...

    Hurt -vs- shock?

    My momma hen has been flying out of the brooder coop recently so my initial thought was she may want to take her baby into the big run with the other hens and one rooster. I opened the small door in the brooder to the big run and the baby was the first one out. She followed only to jump on the...

    2 eggs in the coop this morning

    I noticed two small eggs in the coop this morning when I went to let the crew out. They were both crushed and no sign of the yolk or whites anywhere, so I believe it must have been eaten. I have several pullets that are at the age to lay and all of my others lay in the nest boxes (during the...

    Thought it was molt, now I'm questioning???

    Buff stopped laying over a month ago, she's less than 2 yrs old. She doesn't show obvious signs of molt, but thought that's what it was after asking here. She had been fighting one of my roosters and not allowing him to touch her or any of her sister hens. She was getting really fierce pulling...

    Would you two knuckleheads just lay an agg or two?

    I have two 29 week old silver laced wyandottes. They look so ready to lay and have looked like this for weeks. Why are they being so stubborn? The little pipsqueaks around them are laying and are much younger.

    Buff hasn't layed an egg in over 2 weeks

    My 1.5 year old Buff hasn't layed an egg in over 2 weeks. She has never been a consistent layer, but her normal pattern is every 4 days. She doesn't look like she's molting or sick. I have no idea other than she's really fighting with the rooster lately. She fights him every time she sees...

    Leg paralysis and wing dropping - 4th "suspected" Mereks case

    I've lost 2 birds so far... I had one other that started showing signs of the leg paralysis and I became very motherly to this buff. I began picking her up several times per day and massaging her leg, as is a pretty deep massage where the nerve runs in the leg. I did this for about 4-5 days...

    Barred rock / silkie mix

    Lucy is acting very strange. When I got her the breeder told me she was a pullet, just an accidental cross breed of silkie/barred rock. She's been extremely aggressive to the hens lately. Grabbing them in the neck or back and pulling feathers. This morning she actually grabbed one of my Easter...
