    Sick hen PLEASE HELP she's our favourite...

    Heya; One of our hens is acting really weird. For the past few days, she hasn't been eating much, and had a bit of trouble passing an egg a few days ago. All of today she's been sitting in one place (usually she hops the fence and free ranges all over our yard!), and when I just went out to see...

    HORRIBLE PROLAPSED VENT!

    Oh god... Our previously three-legged chicken (she ain't so good lookin') now has a prolapsed vent. It's really awful. We've cleaned it to the best of our ability, but there's still a lot of blood on it. I put blu-kote around it, because it was so awful and bloody. Today, we put witch hazel on...

    Heya; I just thought I'd update to say that she ain't so good lookin' (our three legged darling) now only has 2 legs! Her third leg fell two days ago! She's doing pretty okay, and has grown a bit. She's still at the bottom of the pecking order, but that's to be expected. However, I have (yet...

    Limping bird!

    Heya; My favourite bird is limping! She's had a series of complications (she has a third leg which is hanging off of her body and a second vent and a crooked tail...), but the past few weeks she's been doing pretty well! Even asserting herself when one of the others tries to chase her away from...

    No feathers on chest...

    Hiya; I'm a relatively new chicken owner (1 week today!) with what seems to be an overwhelming amount of problems! Just today I noticed that one of my chickens has no more feathers on her breast/chest area...She was taking what I thought was a dirt bath, but then I picked her up and there were...

    Three legged chicken...

    Heya folks; I'm kind of new to this; I just got 5 laying hens from an organic chicken farm this saturday. Here's the deal: the farmer had a chicken with 3 legs that had been a little traumatized by the other chickens (they're free range on his farm, but it's still a lot of chickens, so it was...
