    Hen Keeps Laying Yolks

    Last month, my 3-year-old orpington laid egg yolks and whites and kept straining for a week until she laid the egg membrane. I gave her calcium twice a day and a round of amoxicillin for ten days during this time. She eventually laid an intact shell-less egg a week ago and a regular egg with a...

    Stuck Egg Membrane in Vent

    My 3 year old hen laid egg whites and yolks yesterday and has been straining to lay something afterwards ever since. Last night when she strained, it looked like the shape of an egg coming out of her vent surrounded by what I assume was her uterus but the egg wouldn't come out. The next day, she...

    Vent Prolapse?

    I found one of my 3 year old hens straining to push something out of her vent after a liquid egg came out of her vent (egg whites and yolk only, no shells or membrane).

She is having labored breathing (she's not opening her beak, but her breaths are very deep and very noticeable), and every breath sounds like gurgling, crackling, and phlegmy.

    Hen Ate Live Maggots From Wet Feed (Botulism?)

    My 2 year old orpington hen ate tons of live maggots that were crawling all over old wet feed. I quickly cleaned the area but I'm worried about botulism or her getting sick from it... Is it likely she may get sick? What can I do for her? This happened about 30 mins ago so she seems fine right now..

    Vent Gleet Treatment

    Hello, I have 7 chickens, 2 years old, and most of them have developed vent gleet. I scrub their waterers every morning with dawn dish soap but saw pink bacteria still forming in small crevices of the waterers when I go to wash them, so I believe the vent gleet may have developed from that. I...

She got down to go lay in the nesting box right after and I noticed egg membrane sticking out of her vent. I gently pulled two very large pieces of egg membrane and her vent looks clear now. I'm worried...

    Impacted Crop, Barely Pooping

    I have a 9 month old hen with a possible impacted crop. About 4 days ago her crop seemed a lot bigger than usual one night before they went to bed.
