    Almost 5 year old hen found non-responsive after cold and wet weather - trying to nurse her back

    Title pretty much says it all but she feels emaciated and her crop was empty. Her one eye was open when I picked her up out of the coop about 2 hours ago. So far I have given her a few very small cut up pieces of grapes to see if the sugar would help her come to. She is still breathing but eyes...

    Egg bound but maybe also water belly??

    My flock has been happy and stable for the last 2 years with no major issues. I was gone for the weekend and got home last night (hubby kept everyone fed and watered). Came up earlier and one of my Rhode Island red’s (over age 2), seems to be egg bound. Penguin walk, straining and I can feel an...

    She got stuck!

    Came back from a weekend trip and my housesitter mentioned one of my chickens got stuck in a part of the run and was pecked at. Seems like she was stuck for up to 4 hours (wasn’t stuck when they went up there in the morning but was around lunch time). I gave her a nice warm bath in dead sea salt...

    Is this girl egg bound?

    i’ve had One of my speckled sussexes in a laying box for the last 5 hours. She hasn’t moved out. She pecks at me and ruffles her feathers when I try to pick her up to check. Is my next step checking for egg bind? Just a Vaselined finger and check? Any other thoughts? Haven’t noticed any changes...

    Wattles coloring - is this normal?

    started noticing in the last few days that my girl’s wattles are more white than I recalled them being (specifically in the fold of the neck). Just want to gauge if this is normal or not. Can’t recall that I noticed it before. Thanks!

    Can bunnies live in chicken coop with my chickens?

    hi all, We’ll be getting 2 bunnies shortly for my kids as 4H projects and I was planning on keeping them in the chicken run and build them their own little hutch within the run. Stopped at my local Farm Supply to get things for the bunnies and they said it wasn’t a good idea. Now I don’t know...

    Lost my first hen today

    I have no idea how this happened so reaching out to see what I should look for. Have had my girls since April, and while we’ve had some issues in the run, I just went to go close the coop door and saw one of my girls laying dead in the run. No blood, but she’s clearly been pecked at (looks like...

    Hens stopped laying after seeing a traumatic incident and is it molting or pecking?

    hi all, I’m a long time lurker and first time poster. I have a few questions- up until Monday we’ve been pretty consistently getting 8-11 eggs a day from my 12 girls. They started laying back in August, and are all March babies. I have a mixed lot. For the last few weeks i’ve noticed some...
