    8 year old hen having difficulty swallowing

    Hi there, I have an 8 year old hen who has been having some issues lately. Starting March of 2022, she developed ascites. A little later I noticed a tumor on the left side of her abdomen, it is hard to feel but I would say it is a smidge bigger than a golf ball. All is fine until Eddie, my 10...

    Issues breathing in almost 10 year old hen

    My Eddie is having a hard time breathing. To give background information: Eddie will be turning 10 in March. Around 3 years ago she had a heat stroke and ended up getting her head stuck between two cage bars. She has since recovered but has, what a vet is assuming, curled toes due to her...

    CLR to remove rust near chickens?

    Hi all, I own two hens who both sleep inside my garage, each in a metal dog cage. The dog cages have been getting very rusty and I want to remove it but can’t find much out there. Is CLR safe to use? I would do it in the morning then let them air out for the rest of the day, but then my hens...

    What type of caterpillar is this?

    Hi all, I just saw one of my hens eating this caterpillar and, not knowing if it was poisonous or not I took it away from her, and then used the end of a stick to kill it... So it’s a little hard to identify but could anyone tell me what type of caterpillar this is? I’m in Florida.

    Grain mite?

    Hi, I ran out of my regular feed and had to use an older feed, one that I probably have had for more than two months and was transferred from the bag, into an animal, predator proof, plastic feed container. It’s been about two months and I just discovered this in it... definitely some sort of...

    Weird bump on arthritic hock

    Hi all, My hen Eddie is 9 years old and has arthritis in her hocks. For the past month and longer, she has had this weird bump growing on her hock. I went to the vet who said it feels like it is more like liquid than being hard. That’s all she did. That was two weeks ago and I have just...

    Worm in poop during deworming

    Hi all, I started deworming my two hens yesterday. I am using safeguard liquid goat dewormer and Eddie is getting 1.2 mL and Dev is getting 1.4 mL. I dewormed just as a regular thing. No liquid poops, besides heat ones but that is normal in Florida weather. It’s been rainy and cool the past few...

    Am I Fermenting Correctly?

    Hi all, On Sunday I decided to start my first fermenting feed process. I use New Country Organics Grower/Broiler feed. I give this because I have a 7-8 year old hen who is still laying eggs and a 9 year old who has retired from egg laying and I doubt the extra calcium will help her. (I...

    MS or Arthritis?

    Hi all! I have a 9 year old black sexlink, Eddie, who I have thought had arthritis. I have taken her to two vets who never questioned whether it was arthritis or not, they just assumed based on looking at it, and prescribed Metacam. After reading about MS, I am a little suspicious that Eddie...
