    Year and a half old bantam hen goes broody with confirmed fertile egg but no luck making a baby

    I have a year and a half old bantam hen that’s gone broody a handful of times with confirmed fertile eggs with no luck of them becoming anything. What could the issue be? I’ve never seen an egg that looks even close to being fiable but they have the bullseye in the yoke. She’s the little white...

    Here are the previous posts regarding my issue. I know some eyes will be rolling out of annoyance but I’m really worried about her and haven’t ever dealt with eye or respiratory issues before. She can open her eye for very short periods of time. Usually when I approach her. It’s not goopey or...

    3.5 year old Buff Orpington hen not acting right!!!

    I have a 3.5 year old Buff Orpington that started sleeping outside about two days ago. I’d noticed that she was slower than normal about a week ago and she wasn’t eating the treats I was giving. She’s always been my picky one so I didn’t think anything of it till I saw her sleeping outside...

    Year and a half old blue australorp hen suddenly limping

    Sigh! I've seen this before and I don't want it to be true. She was fine yesterday but this morning I went out to check on my flock around 8:45am and found her laying down. She did get up as soon as I came out. She ate some treats but laid down shortly after. She's been laying down in random...

    My two year old Buff Orpington been has been deep sleeping several times throughout the day for three days now. She is still laying, laid one yesterday and the day before.

    Lethargic, panting, laying down alot, not eating 9 month old Easter Egger. Laid an egg yesterday. Been like this for 3 days now but today is worse.

    Three days ago, I noticed my 9 month old Easter Egger laying down in the middle of the morning. Didn't think to much of it till she was still like that an hour later. Throughout the day, I found her laying in odd spots. She was still eating and drinking. Today, I threw out some meal worms...

    Two year old buff orpington odd hen behavior that started about a week ago.

    I have 5 hens, three are two years old and the other two are around 9-10 months old. We had a rooster that came with the older three but had to rehome him a while back. None of them have gone broody but this particular hen has been acting similar to how our rooster acted. She is the smallest of...
