    sick hen..no clue

    My leghorn girl is aick and I haven't a clue to what's wrong. She's been like this for a few weeks. We have no vets in the area that handle xhickens so I can't take her anywhere.

    Lost a chicken yesterday

    Had the strangest thing happen. Night before last when putting the hens to bed, one of the girls was "sneezing" a wee bit. It was late and myself not feeling well from a cold, locked them in tight for the night. Yesterday when I got home from work, I let the girls out of their run and sneezy...

    egg but no shell

    I know I've seen this topic somewhere but cannot find it. I caught my hens eating egg in the grass with no signs of shell anywhere. I have 10 hens and have been collecting 9 eggs regularly for a few weeks. Could this be the beginning of #10? Should I be worried about where the shell could be?

    Light in the coop

    My girls are about a month away from laying age (20 weeks I'm told). The days are getting shorter here in Northern Wisconsin. I keep a red heat light on at night in the coop and want to put a white light in there on a timer to extend their day light for laying. When would be the optimal time...

    when does sex appear?

    When can you tell if you have a rooster in your mix? I have 10 - 16 week old chickens. No crowing from anyone at this point and they all look very similar amongst their breeds.

    Deformity?

    I have a week-old chick that has a large gaping hole "vent". She seems perfectly normal in all other ways. Any ideas on what to do about this?
