I have a young hen (probably between 6 and 8 months, not sure on exact age) that could stand on one leg, she was still getting around, eating and drinking but I put her in the brooder in my coop so she could rest last Tuesday, I was thinking she may have hurt herself jumping down from the roost...

My hen has been struggling with this for the last few weeks, she was straining so hard earlier today and nothing was coming out. She keeps getting feces stuck and blocking off her vent. I was able to give her a warm bath earlier and try to remove as much as possible but there was a chunk of poop...

I have a Hen that I noticed had poop stuck to her feather and blocking her vent. She's been like this for a few weeks. I cleaned her up as soon as I could after seeing it, used warm water to remove all the poop. The vent was raw looking so I put some anitbiotic cream on it and when I let her go...

Just had a pretty bad fox attack, still missing two hens and one of my roosters was found in the woods injured. It's his neck, there is a some blood and bruising but no wound that I could find. My initial thought was to put him down but as I carried him around in my arms I wasn't sure what to...

My Hen who was born in March went Broody. She hatched a tiny chick last week. The chick seemed to be doing great, very active, eating, drinking and everything. I just checked on them this morning and the chick was dead beside Mama sitting on the other eggs. Chick would have been a week old...

I have a young chicken (born in March) that started laying recently. I noticed that she had been missing every night from the coop and that I hadn't really seen her with the rest of the flock. Long story short I found out where she's been this whole time and she had a nest under some brush in...

This hen was given to me back in the fall, I think she is maybe around 2. I forget what they told me. She's solid. She also hasn't laid since I brought her home. Just wondering what she be.

My 1st time Broody hen has hatched 4 of 6 eggs in the last 4 days. There are two eggs unhatched and she was still sitting on both of them. I go out to check on her a few times throughout the day (she's in a separate coop) but then I noticed sometimes she was off them both and since yesterday...

My broody hen just hatched some chicks. I can hear them underneath her but haven't seen them yet. She did have 6 eggs last time I was able to check. She's very protective and doesn't let me get near her when she's in the nest box. Because of this I never moved her and the eggs. Just wondering if...

Found one of my girls unable to stand on her own, she can't really walk but gets around the coop and then lays in another spot. Seems alert otherwise, eats and drinks if I hold her up or put food down for her. She'll be a year old in the spring, not sure if she's been laying. Just want to get...
