    Sick hen, vent leaking ammonia smell

    Has anyone had the experience of an incredibly strong ammonia smell coming from a hen? She started having crackly breathing I could hear when I held my head to her chest a few months ago. She's been sick on and off and treated throughout many months with Doxycycline, a de-wormer and corid. She...

    I can't figure out what's wrong with my sweet hen :(

    I have an Ameracauana that has always been a little skittish and shy. I adopted her when she was already a couple of years old. She has never been much of a layer and hasn't laid at all in several months. I noticed she was spending a little more time laying down recently - maybe she's a little...

She tries so hard :( her...

One hen that I thought was quite old suddenly began laying again after not laying for over a year. Then our girl...

    so heartbroken. feathers and missing hen 😞

    my gentle and petite easter egger — one of the sweetest and loveliest hens i’ve ever known went missing today. behind the coop we found many, many feathers but all of which weren’t her outside feathers and colors; but the lighter and downy feathers underneath. no blood, no sign of anything else...

    Is my black hen actually a rooster?

    I adopted these two "gals" and was assured they were hens. The black one has gotten quite loud and I don't think I've once seen her in the nesting boxes. We have had "her" for about 6 months. Does anyone think she's a rooster? We are not allowed to keep roosters due to noise. Our houses are very...
