    Rehoming a hen

    I have a five year old Black Australorp hen named Percy. I am needing to re-home her as I will no longer have time to take care of her. She is very docile and friendly, and likes to be petted every now and then. She doesn’t make a lot of noise. I live in Austin TX, just above the 290, and by...

    New to veterinarians, what to expect?

    I had a flock of three hens previously. Two died. One died of, I suspect, reproductive issues. The other died of respiratory illness last night. I have only one hen left now - Percy. She does not have any specific symptoms, but she is acting differently. She is just not as active as she was...

    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    My 3 year old black Australorp hen(Bertha) has been having trouble breathing (she holds her beak open and pants) and she sneezes a lot, sometimes very loudly. Sometimes she shakes her head, but not very often. She is lighter than the other 2 hens. She had not been laying eggs for about 4 months...

    Chicken having trouble breathing

    Bertha, one of our three Australorp hens, has been having a little trouble breathing in the last week or two. When she is walking on the ground, she seems fine, she is active, chases bugs, and eats plenty and poos plenty. But when I pick her up or massage her crop, she opens her mouth and starts...

    My hen has been lethargic all day long, I am worried she is egg bound, or has some other bad problem.

    Yesterday, 9/13/2023, my hen Mary went into the nesting box at around 7 o'clock am, and stayed for about an hour but did not lay her egg. For the rest of the day she acted as if she had no eggs to lay, but at around 7 in the evening, about thirty minutes before my three hens, Bertha, Percy, and...

    My hen laid two strange eggs this morning

    One of my hens (Bertha, who is almost 3 years old now) was acting a little differently this morning. Instead of running around, eating grass and bugs as usual, she mostly stayed in the same spot for a while. She had her butt slightly open as she did this. I was not sure whether she had trouble...

    Pustules on Hens wattles.

    This is our Australorp hen Percy. One day I noticed these pustules on her face, and I do not exactly know how they came to be there. She behaves in a perfectly normal manner, she has been eating enough, there are no signs of trauma or other damage to her, her poop has been normal, and all in all...
