    Water belly/ascites

    My hen Jax, is a 5 year old easter egger and I’m pretty sure has ascites. I’ve been monitoring her and it hasn’t gotten better (as expected) but worse affirming my assumption its ascites. She has all the signs. I’ve done research on draining it to make her more comfortable. I just wanted to...

    Possible ascites

    Coughing blood+ mucus

    I have a 3 month old easter egger and I noticed yesterday she seemed a little slower than the others. This morning she was distancing herself and closing her eyes some, as well as coughing mucus and you can her hear kind of crackle when she breaths. She is not struggling to breathe or gasping...

    What is stealing my eggs?

    I opened up my coop this morning and there were broken eggs in and outside the nesting box and my girls did not want to come down from roosting so I’m guessing it happened recently enough to spook them? It was light outside and there coop was locked so I’m not sure what could have made it in and...
