    How do you force feed a hen

    I saw an older post where someone force fed electrolytes and food. How do you force feed? I'm holding fresh corn in front of my hen so hopefully she will take a bite periodically but I think she's getting worse. I haven't been able to get her to take yogurt. Can a hen choke like another...

    Chicken seems imbalanced, hardly eats or drinks.

    The only food my hen is getting now is what I'm holding in front of her and sometimes she doesn't even eat that. I bought crickets and mealworms which is her favorite. The other day she ate about 5 crickets. Could not get her to eat any the past 2 days. She has taken a few bites of fresh...

    Pictures of Frostbite Comb if anybody wants to see what it looks like

    Last year my rooster got frostbite on his comb. I'm going to attempt to put pics on here for your reference. Some people mentioned to cut the frostbite off but I didn't do anything except keep him in a coop for the rest of the winter and feed him good. It took several months but he looks fine...

    Should I worm? Chicken hasn't laid eggs in about 4 months

    What kind of Hardware Cloth to buy?

    Is there a better gauge or size I should buy in hardware cloth? Something tried to get in the coop last night, it looks like dog paw prints and it made a hole in the chicken wire but we have possums and racoons around lately too. Everything is closed today but if the chick makes it through...

    About a week ago, our first snow, a dog attacked my rooster and hen. The rooster is missing his tail feathers and we were able to get him in the coop the next day but the night before he was out in about 8 degree or less with blizzard type winds. He normally roosts in a tree. He has been in...

    Updated - My chicken is late laying today, is that normal.

    This is my first chicken and she just started laying eggs about two weeks ago. I left her first egg in the nest for the past two weeks hoping that would make her keep coming back to the same spot to lay. I didn't want it to start smelling so I took it out yesterday. She was laying about 6:30...

    New to chickens, 1st egg today, why do they leave their eggs?

    I'm new to this site and chickens too but I got a chicken this summer because we had a rooster that came up a few years ago (wild I guess) and figured he was lonely. Anyway, I got a Cochan/Silky Mix. She's really cute by the way. I was told she was a juvenile and probably wouldn't lay eggs...
