I’m concerned about the poop coming from my hen. For the past 3 days, she has pooped out some droppings with lining in them. I will provide pictures below. Not all of the droppings had lining, only a few. I noticed that every morning, she will poop out a dropping that is a little bigger than her...

I recently started giving my girls a check up one a month to check how they are doing. I am wondering where their abdomen is, is it the part directly under the vent?
Hello there everyone, I am a relatively new member that joined last week and this will be my first time posting since my intro. I have had chickens for many years now, but I have never used chemical workers before. I used to do things the “natural way” but I recently learned that chemicals work...
