    What is ailing my chicken?

    Hi everyone. I have a five-year-old Ameraucana (she might be an Easter egger) hen. She has been very slow the past few days—her abdomen is full of liquid (ascites, I think); she has a slow-ish liquidy crop, and she is very dehydrated—drinking a LOT. She has always had very watery poos, and is...

    What color eggs do your hens lay?

    Hey everyone! This thread is for all who want to know the color of certain breeds’ eggs. Feel free to post pics of your prettiest eggs alongside the chicken breed that laid them. Maybe we’ll see some pink eggs! Have fun! (: This egg is from my Ameraucana hen, Cocoa.

    Sour Crop

    Tiger is a four year old Ameraucana hen. She has recently contracted sour crop. I isolated her and gave her just water with ACV for a few hours, after massaging and partially draining her crop (clear liquid with some feed was regurgitated). Then she wandered around for two or three hours...

    Underweight hen, but eating well

    I have a problem hen named Penny. She is a BA who is 4 years old. I have long suspected her of a reproductive disorder, because she has had bouts of lethargy and illness before. But this time is a bit different because Penny is eying and drinking perfectly, , and she even looks alert, keeping...

    Chicken with swollen abdomen

    My black Australorp penny has been walkin weird lately. She walks slowly and with a wider stance than normal. Yesterday she pooped and it was white, all urates. Today I felt around inside her vent and found nothing but more urates. Penny sat down a few times today. From the outside her abdomen...

    Slightly swollen abdomen

    So one lot my seven chickens, Penny, is a three year old Black Australorp hen. She's seemed a bit off the past few days. So yesterday I picked her up for an inspection. Her crop was totally fine. The only thing I noticed was a bit of a large abdomen. It felt like there was liquid in it and...

    EE hen doesn't lay anymore?

    I have seven chickens, two of which are Easter Eggers. One of them, Tiger, seems to have stopped laying. She is only two years old as of this past May, but we haven't gotten two blue eggs in a day for about six months. Also, she didn't molt last fall and she is molting super lightly this year...

    Egg broke inside hen, prevent peritonitis?

    Today my Black Australorp, Penny, was walking kind of strangely. Her tail was sticking up, but she still was a bit slower than the others at eating and drinking. She looked a bit like she had to poop, slightly bloated, which was odd--Penny has always been skinny especially for her breed. I was...

    Fowl pox, or nothing to worry about?

    A few days ago I noticed some spots on Dagny's comb. She is a three year old Barred Rock hen. I thought they were dirt but they didn't rub off. There was also a tiny cut on her wattles and one on her earlobe, all on the same side of her head, that have now scabbed over and turned black. I've...

    Sick chickens, died from...

    My neighbor's chickens do not get out much, if ever, and their water quality/living conditions are messy, so I was not surprised when one hen named Gerda got sick. Gerda was about a five year old Barred Rock hen, who started acting lethargic. She had very watery poop, just white urates, when she...
