Can anyone tell me what these pictures might indicate? The red feathers are are literally falling off of her...it makes me so sad. She has stopped eating and has very messy poop and is only drinking a little water now...we just gave her a bath and I took these pictures. Thank you for any...
Hello all,
I thought my 2 yr old barred rock may be egg bound but i couldn't feel any egg up inside her...we gave her a warm epson salt soak yesterday and kept her separate from the rest of my girls for the rest of the day and last night. This morning she had excreted something long but I have...
I have a 17 month old Australorp hen who looks like she is not feeling well. I saw her this afternoon sitting under a chair while all my other girls were pecking around.
I checked to see if an egg was stuck in her but i couldn't feel one. She is just walking around very slowly and then...
Any thoughts on why my girls decreased their egg production over the past few months? I have 12 girls, 3 RIR, 3 Australorps, 2 Barred Rocks, and 4 Welsummers. They are 15 months old and are my original flock. Their egg laying has decreased to the point that I am only getting an average of...
Any thoughts on why a year old hen would lay an egg with no shell? I have 12 girls that turned one year old in February this year. I raised them from chicks. They have a large run and coop. I feed them Purina Layena and have been feeding that with oyster shell in a bowl beside their feed. I...
I have a nice (well hes a rooster...lol) rooster but I think he is just too big for my average size hens. He has pullled the feathers out of their backs and they are starting to look pretty bad..... They are also a year old and I have 12 hens but I think I just want to give him to someone with...
Oh boy one of my Australorps keeps going back and getting on the nest...we had to pick her up off the nest to get the eggs....I just went out there and she's back on the nest with no eggs in it!! She's in the nest instead of on the roost ...:hmm She's been laying only about a month...I have 12...
Should I be concerned about this it is almost time for them to roost and one of my Australorps has been getting in and out of the coop nests ( using different ones there are 5) for approx. the past 2 hrs. I picked up my eggs around 5:30 so there aren't any eggs in the nests unless she has laid...
I have had a Brahma rooster for about a month now. I added him to my pulllets. I raised my pullets from chicks. He has been a really a sweet boy and my 12 pullets are finally settling down with the fact that he is here to stay. They are around 22 weeks old about the same age as him. I just...
Hi does anyone know what this could be? This chick seems to be healthy but I don't see her eating or drinking like the rest of the gang...I just got nine baby chicks today from Rural King. The bin said she was in said brown pullet she is very cute and seems active but I have seen her sort of...
