Ok so I just noticed today while my bird was freaking out, I posted a thread on this earlier, but now I'm positive it's a prolapse. So far I've soaked her in warm water, cut the feathers off around her vent, and put prep H on it (didn't really know how to go about that but I did my best). Now I...
My chicken just started doing this, about 20mins ago she was out in her pen when she started screeching as if something was giving her pain. She literally broke out of her coop, and ran up to the door. I let her in thinking an animal was attacking her but there was nothing out side. Once in she...

I live in a subdivision where unfortunately chickens are prohibited, and we have tried twice now to raise chickens in the area. The first time we got 3 roosters and one hen, we got rid of two roosters and the last one and the hen we gave away to a new home so they wouldnt be separated. This time...
