    What to do for Impacted Crop?

    I have a hen, probably about two and a half yrs old, who seems to have an impacted crop (crop is hard). I have massaged it, but what else can I do for her? Is there something I can give to help her digest what’s in there? I have Acidified Copper Sulfate here from over a year ago, but I never...

    Supplementing with wheat germ oil?

    Is wheat germ oil good for chickens? If so, what is a good brand to use? Also, my chickens never finish their food, and I read that wheat germ oil will go rancid when not refrigerated, so would I have to throw away left over food after a couple days if I coated it with the oil? Not sure I’d want...

    Possible egg eater in my flock

    I have a flock of five 2 yr old hens. They have always been low level layers, meaning that at their peak performance I was getting one to two eggs a day, but it’s been months since I had that good production, and for the past month I’m lucky to get one. One day last week I came upon an empty...

    What is wrong with her wing?

    She won’t tuck it in like they normally do. She tucks the other side. I picked her up and can’t find any injuries, and she seems to be acting okay other than not tucking in her wing. ??? See pic.

    Panting hen

    Im wondering why my hen is panting every 10 to 20 seconds. she seems fine otherwise. Although, she does have a messy butt. I've been meaning to stick her in epsom salt bath for a few days now, but haven't gotten to it. Will do tomorrow. Could a pasty butt cause her to suddenly have a breathing...

    Egg whites really thin!

    Why are all my egg whites really thin and even non existent on one side of the eggs? This makes peeling hard boiled eggs almost impossible without tearing up the eggs. Are the hens lacking something in their diet? I give them regular layer feed from local feed store. I offer oyster shells on the...

    What does this look like?

    It’s frozen, but what kind of infection does this look like, if any? I’ve had a sick hen with diarrhea and anorexia that I’m nursing and waiting for antibiotics to arrive, but this is the first time i saw poop that looks like this/this color. What would you do? No vet. See pic of 💩. Thanks...

    Hen has red bottom, Monistat cream makes it worse

    Hi. I have one hen out of five with a sore red bottom and some feather loss. Soaking in epsom salt bath helps it, but then I've been applying Monistat cream for the last four days, which I noticed seems to make it red again. I don't see any mites or lice, and none of the other hens display these...
