    Weird neck jerking

    My hen of two years just did a dirt bath then her head starting jerking as shown in the video. I was recording her shaking her body post bath so I didn't think much of it, until I noticed she kept doing it, as video taped. What could this be?

    EGG BOUND, LEG COLLAPSING

    So, I'm currently at college and my mother has informed me that one of my hens (over two years old) hasn't laid an egg in about a week. She's also told me that she loses her balance a lot (almost as if her leg is giving out and she just collapses) and she is always the last one up at night and...

They appear healthy but I've noticed their heads shaking every few seconds. I attached a video above. What could this be and how can I help? At the end I included one pooping...

    EGG BOUND AND POOP

    I've noticed recently that there have only been 4 eggs (I have 5 hens) and by the type of eggs determine that My one year old hen Fionna wasn't laying. Then, I looked at her butt and it was COVERED in poop. She's the most skiddish out of all of my hens but my mom and I managed to hold her butt...

    Limping and Inflammation

    I just got home from college and my mother made me aware that my eldest hen (2 years old now) has recently been limping and was also egg bound, although she's back to laying again. She said the limp has gotten better but I spent some time with her this morning and she still is. Everytime she...

    Head Twitches

    So, I've been away at college for a bit now and just came home to see my chickens, but I'm noticing that randomly and quite frequently, they would shake their head three times very quickly, almost like they're sneezing but with no sneeze. I noticed one of my younger chicks was doing it...

    Growing Brown Spot on Face

    Recently I've noticed two little brown dots on the faces of my eldest hens. Although the first's spot went away, I looked at the second's face recently and saw that the little dot in the first picture, had expanded into the second. I've had her for over a year now and I've ever seen this before...

    Comb and Waddle going Pale

    Recently I've been noticing that the comb and waddle of my chickens has been growing pale. Is this anything of concern? It's been extremely hot recently as NJ has been going through a heatwave, so could this be the reason, and is there any way I can make sure they're ok in this heat?

    Purple Spot on Comb

    Right now there's a purple spot on the back of one of my hen's combs, almost like a bruise color. My other hen has a history of pecking this hen's combs but has been targeting our chicks until recently, when she's been biting her again while they do dust baths. Is this just a bruise from the...

    Out of Place Feathers

    Does the image that I attached below show signs of molting? Recently we've been experiencing below freezing temperatures almost every day, and I've noticed that a few of my chicks feathers look maybe duller, although most do still shine in certain angles of light. I've noticed it on both hens...

    Hen's Comb is Turning White

    I noticed recently that my hen's comb has been whitening. They were getting to the end of their good supply so I originally thought it was just oyster shell powder, but days later it's still there, and now I'm starting to see some whitening on my other hen as well. Recently the second hen has...

    First Snow = Screams?

    It's my hens' first snow and at first they were fine, but now they're screaming as if they're laying an egg, even though both chicks are downstairs watching the snow. I may be over thinking this, but can screaming like this at the snow be concerning?

    Hen Hasn't Laid an Egg in a Week

    Recently, my a fox had broken into my coop and killed four of my six 8-month old chickens, and thankfully two were able to escape. Out of the two, one of them hasn't laid an egg since the accident. I know that this can happen if under stress, but I'm worried she may be egg bound because the...

    Abnormal Hen Behavior

    Right now, my chick is acting abnormal. First, she didn't lay an egg today which I didn't think much of because eggs take 28 hours to form. Then, I was told she refused to go in the coop to sleep and that my grandfather had to place her in. Finally, I came home to see her sleeping like this...

    My Chick Keeps Closing her Left Eye

    Recently my hens have been pecking each other when eating their normal feed or grass. I found solutions to this but before I could begin any, I noticed today that one of my 5 month old hens keeps closing her left eye. It has no cloudy layer/3rd eye lid and when she opens it every so often it...
