    Help, I have a sick young hen.

    Yesterday, I noticed one of my Russian Orloffs was lethargic and stayed in the coop when I opened the doors. I brought her into the barn and put her with a few other hens that had been bullied. She just stood around and didn't eat or move too much. This morning, I brought her into the house to...

    listless hen

    I bought a pair of Light Sussex hens to add to my flock. I kept them separate in the barn with a Polish hen that had a small wound. When they were nicely mated up, I put all three in the coop with my flock. They all seemed fine and got along well. After a few days, I noticed the one hen was...

    fish-how do you feed chickens fish

    I stupidly left a salmon out of the freezer yesterday and it thawed out. I read here recently that you can feed fish to chickens. It even said the eggs get bigger??? Does the fish need to be cooked or can they eat it raw? I could cut up pieces of it and feed it to them over a few days. I don't...

    molt and pecking

    My golden laced Polish is molting. Today, I noticed one of the other hens pick at her and she has quite a wound on her head. I assume its because she can't see to get away from the nasty one. I did take her out of the run and put her into a stall in my barn. How long until she finishes molting...
