I have a RIR hen that is atleast 1 year old
she is eating and drinking
and does not seem lethargic
the problem is that she is holding her tail
in a downward possition. she walks around
like this. I know there is something wrong
but what? Is she eggbound?
Please help!
I noticed today that my RIR Roxy is holding her tail down and walking around like she has a load in her pants. Other than that she acts fine.
She's eating and drinking and pecking others just like she always does.
could she be eggbound?

I had read a post about fertilized eggs that said that a fertile egg will have a white dot on the yoke.
I have all hens. But earlier this week I was seperating yokes for a recipe and notice a white dot on a few of my yokes. Does this mean that those eggs were fertilized?
I have a young hen that has developed a limp. I can't see anything on her foot or leg. When I pick her up and turn her over she curls her foot up. When I touch it she doesn't flinch or struggle. She does stand on it but hops around. She is eating and drinking fine. Is there anything else I can...
I believe my bantum mix Jo Jo has gone broody. About a month ago she kept escaping the run and not laying in the coop. I would get her back in and out she'd go again. Then one day she disappeared. On the second day of her being gone we found her on a nest with nine eggs. We clipped her wings and...
Tonight my husband caught a big raccoon in my girls coop. He was chased out by our dog. If he keeps comming back I guess I will trap him.He was eating the feed.Would he eat my chickens too.?
I have 8 hens and a coop that has built in 6 nesting boxes. The coop can hold many more chickens but I'm building up to a larger flock. However it seems that most of my girls like to lay in only one box. I may get one or 2 in one other box, but its those 2 boxes that they use. And just this...

I went out yesterday to find my goldie lying by the door to the coop. I was bringing out their afternoon treat and at first thought she had been rolling in the dirt, but when I threw out the grapes she did not join in on the feeding frenzy. She's my best eater.. ok she's on the fat side. Her...
