    Water belly or something else

    One of my hens, Winnie, hasn't been acting herself lately. Backstory, she is two years old Sapphire Gem who is an egg-laying machine and has never molted (her feathers look awful). All of my other hens molted in October and stopped laying all winter, except for Winnie. She has never stopped...

    HELP! Egg broke inside of chicken?

    I noticed one of my hens acting off today. When I picked her up, I noticed this coming out of her. It looks like a soft shelled egg that broke/got stuck. I felt inside and it feels like there are broken egg shells. I’m currently giving her an Epsom salt bath, what else should I do for her?

    Hen getting her head pecked

    This is Poppy. Poppy is blind in one eye and is a very funny/strange chicken but is also very stupid. Anyways, because of her stupidity, she doesn’t fit in with the flock very well. She gets her head pecked all the time. So much that she’s balding and her head looks red and irritated. I have...

    Hens missing neck feathers

    I have a few hens with missing neck feathers. It was a rough winter here and they were cooped in more than usual. I think it started out of boredom but now they have plenty of free range time and things to do but for some hens their feathers won’t grow back. I’ve tried Rooster Booster...

    Abandon duckling and broody hen

    Hello everyone! So yesterday my sister-in-law found two baby ducklings, probably only a few days old, that had been chased by a cat. She could not find the mom anywhere so she decided to take them in. (She already has some adult domestic ducks). One of the ducklings had some injuries and died...

    Egg bound or water belly?

    Good morning! I have a hen who is not acting herself this morning. She’s just standing around and acting very lethargic. I picked her up and her belly does feel a little swollen. Also, when I was holding her she started closing her eyes and her head was shaking. She was completely fine...

    Aggressive hen

    I have a broody hen who is sitting on a clutch of eggs right now. Everyday I give the girls in the coop corn and this is when the broody gets up and eats/drinks/poops. Today when I she was up, her and another hen would not stop fighting. Not like just pecking eachother but really attacking...

    Chicken is limping, help!

    Yesterday I noticed that one of my young hens was limping. I brought her inside and let her rest for a while. When I put her back outside she seemed to be doing better. This morning she is back to limping and not putting weight on the left foot. I don’t notice any serious injuries when I look at...

    Hello fellow chicken lovers!

    I am so excited to be a part of this group! When my husband and I got married about a year and a half ago, we moved into a house with a chicken coop out back. Neither of us had chickens before but we decided to fix the coop up and raise some baby chicks. I didn’t realize at the time how much I...

    Does this look like bumble foot?

    Hello! I noticed these dark spots on my Swedish flower hen’s toes. They are symmetrical on both feet. I brought her inside and soaked her feet in an epsom salt bath to get a better look. I’m wondering if this is a case of bumble foot or could they just be callouses? I also noticed that my other...
