    What antibiotic for Salpingitis?

    What antibiotic for Salpingitis? I need to call my vet and request something. I just read it's illegal to give Baytril to poultry in the U.S. Is that true? Also is there a blood test to help diagnose Salpingitis? I'm afraid my vet will want to do blood work before prescribing something. I just...

    2nd lash egg, now what?

    This is the 2nd lash egg my 2.5 year old Orpington produced over the last 5 days. She wasn't well during this period of time. Very inactive, pulsating/inflamed vent. She laid this one overnight and today she's 100% back to her normal self. Does this mean she's out of danger? I'm going to pick up...

    Need help with possible lash egg.

    Chicken popped out a small, pink, hard, rubbery thing yesterday. It was about the size of a quarter, maybe smaller. Could this be a lash egg? The vet had never heard of it. How does a hen act when suffering from this? Does their vent pulsate more than normal? Abnormal behavior? Mine has been...

    What is wrong with my hen?

    4 days ago on Saturday I noticed she wasn't acting like herself. Not active, just laying around. Thought maybe she was egg bound because her vent was constantly pulsating. By the end of the day on Sunday, her vent was all swollen. On Monday she had a little more energy and was walking around in...

    Is my chicken egg bound?

    She was acting funny all day yesterday. Inactive and not he usual self. Her rear has been contracting for over 24hrs. She's been pooping pretty regularly which is why I wonder if she's actually egg bound. She's been picking at her not so yummy tums, yogurt and feed mixture I made for her...

    Is scented/menthol Epsom salt going to hurt my hen?

    Pretty sure I have an egg bound hen. I will soak her in a warm bath. Shopping for Epsom salt and so far I'm only finding scented/menthol epsom. Will this be ok? Her vent area looks a little irritated. Don't want to make it worse...

    Will spraying our lawn for grubs hurt my chicken?

    We currently have one hen. She is 100% free range. We moved and haven't gotten a coop yet. We have a major Japanese Beetle problem here. Tru Green is supposed to spray our lawn to eliminate grubs. Will this hurt my chicken? They say she'll be OK once it dries, but worried they might now know...

    Will miracle grow hurt my hen?

    I was feeding my roses with Miracle Grow and I flooded out a big bug. My chicken ate the soaking wet bug before I could stop her. Is my chicken going to be sick?

    Recommendations for a good, solid coop

    We just recently moved to a new home. We chose not to take our coop with us because it would've been too difficult to move. Not having much luck shopping online for one. Many have bad reviews due to cheap materials or they just look too small. We are not super handy and don't have the tools...

    Are chickens social?

    Had 3 chickens at the start of winter. One passed we think due to below freezing temps. We just lost our second about 3 weeks ago, we think a hawk got her. Now our one and only seems a bit off. Almost depressed. She isn't laying. doesn't go in her coop at night, and is hanging out on our deck...

    Chicken died unexpetedly

    We had 4 hens. We lost our oldest lady. She was given to us 3 years ago so I'm not sure how old she was. Over the years she would occasionally be missing feathers on her back and I always thought it was from molting because she wasn't picking at the area and didn't seem bothered. Then yesterday...
