Yesterday everybody looked great, and normal behavior. Today my 3 year old hen is acting possible egg bound: sitting, looks like she is pushing, I could not feel anything hard. My biggest concern is that her comb is also pale. Any ideas? suggestions?
I went to let the chickens out of the coop this morning and found Clara, a one year old Rhode Island Red, dead on the floor of the coop. No signs of egg bound, I looked her over and couldn't find anything to tell why she died. I only have 8 chickens, they are my pets. I knew everyone here...
Hello,
I live in northern Mississippi and I have 8 hens. I ordered them last spring from My Pet Chicken. I have really enjoyed watching them grow. Not to mention the eggs. All are laying great, though they have slowed down this winter.
I came to love chickens as a child at my Grandmothers...
