    Lethargic silkie hen

    I have a six month old silkie hen who laid her first egg this am. I noticed her just laying in the yard on her side. Her neck looked unnaturally tipped back. She can’t seem to hold it up or stand. She almost seems to be having seizures. She just jumped up and fell on her side and liquid came...

    Skittish Hen

    What are they?

    Hi! New to Backyard Chickens and new to raising chickens. I just moved to my mom’s, and I’m helping to take care of her flock. In her coop she has 1 rooster and 4 hens. They are all around 10 months and we’re given to her. She doesn’t know the breeds. I think the rooster is a Rhode Island Red...
