    Hen gaping mouth/gasping, swollen abdomen, weak (VIDEO)

    It's been getting worse and worse these past few weeks. Originally I thought she was egg bound, and gave her a bath, but it did no good (and egg binding doesn't survive this long). I thought it was egg peritonitis, and maybe it is, but my treating it isn't doing any good. This is a video of...

    Maggots eating flesh/ lethargic/ head twitching/off-balance

    Aaaaand another post. My title pretty much describes what's going on. This is the second bout of sickness for this hen.

    Hen with leg/knee pain-- puffy knees and difficulty walking

    For a while now one of our Jersey Giants, Helga, has had a great deal of trouble walking-- she hobbles as she would if she had arthritis (for all I know, she might-- I know that breed is rather prone to knee/hip injuries because of their weight). If we call the flock for food, she will break...
