    Gasping appearance, very ill chicken

    I have a young Marans that started limping pretty severely one day, so we put her into "quarantine", a very large box and/or kennel in the house. The next day, she added a very slow gasping. By gasping, I mean she stretches her neck out and slowly opens her mouth...it appears that she is...

    Help! Severe injury!

    This is my smallest Crested Cream Legbar. She is much smaller than the others, almost like a "runt". I have seen the legbar rooster pecking at her, he doesn't like her.

We often peek into the coop windows at bedtime...

The feeder was in two pieces, one piece outside of the coop with food still in it. One chicken was outside of the coop. Hate to think...

    Odd "egg" laid-what is it?

    Ok, I hesitate to call this an egg. I saw this in the coop, not in the nesting boxes, and I usually get the same number of eggs daily, and I am one short today, so this must be her "egg". I have one hen who often has problems, lots of soft shells or eggs with no shell at all. She has never laid...
