    What is this? What do I do?

    It has been a week and I wrote then about my hen and being egg bound. Well. There is a lot to the story. A lot of things happened at once. First my chicks took the nesting boxes from my hens until I can put them all together so I fixed up some temporary solutions, which they all hate. Two...

    Hen putting leaves, grass and feathers on her back??!!

    I know this is an old thread but it is the only one I can find that talks about it. My EE is decorating herself right now but she looks quite mad running around almost frantic like. I think it funny to watch, but wanted to make sure she didn't have something wrong. Glad to know she is not the...

    Egg bound??? HELP!

    I gave her a bath. She took it well. Her bum looks red today. She looks saggy now between her legs. Her belly is still squishy but it feels full and she did not like it when I was massaging. So I just kept her in the warm water for about 30 minutes and then another 15 sitting on my lap on a...

    Open wounds under wings ***NEW PICS****

    I gave her a bath, sat her in my lap wrapped up and on a heating pad. I let her into the coop alone with the nesting boxes and bless her heart she bounced back and forth from one to another, she is trying. Today is the first day I can feel fullness there. It is not hard. And she does not...

    Open wounds under wings ***NEW PICS****

    Thank you. I made some no sew's with snaps and an old pair of jeans but they aren't so great. I found a link on here of some fairly cheap and nicely made ones from a woman. Her poo came back to normal. Now I am thinking the wound has to do with some of her stress, for sure, but I think she...

    OMG I killed her Omg omg *update on the extent of Munchies wound

    Ok, I have a friend who got a round of 25 chicks this spring and he was so pumped and I went through things with him to make sure his chicks were having a good start. He built a coop and the top was open, as mine is, and a couple of nights he forgot to lock them up, something came in and tore...

    Egg bound??? HELP!

    Flockwatcher, thank you for always replying. I almost get frustrated asking questions on here because hardly anyone ever has an opinion but I can see many other threads where plenty had to say. I just appreciate you always helping me. I had chicken dreams all night, literally, and that she...

    Egg bound??? HELP!

    Ok so here is my messed up hen story...My rooster was wounding two of my hens from mating so I separated them, cared for the wounds, and they are now scabbing. Since that day (4 days ago) one of the hens has not laid an egg. She seemed sleepy and lethargic the second day and had bile looking...

    Australorp attacked chick

    Keeping it clean is best and lots of people use neosporin on their chickens with no harm. It would help to see pics, but I understand. Maybe describe it more, is it wide open bleeding? I wouldn't take her to the vet unless she showed other symptoms of not eating, or drinking, or moving. Just...

    Australorp attacked chick

    Clean it, blue-kote it, and leave it alone. Keep it separated from the rest until it heals. And I would get rid of that Astralop! Hurting others AND eating, what I call chicken jewels, is completely against the rules of the coop. I know how hard it is to cull or find a new home for some of...

    Open wounds under wings ***NEW PICS****

    ANYONE???? Now that it is the next day I am hoping more people see the poo and tell me what to do. She jumped down this morning and ate a little but still puffed out a little like she doesn't want to be bothered. The feed stores are open in town today....so if I need to get something I need...

    Open wounds under wings ***NEW PICS****

    Ok, I decided to go out and let them free range. It took a little coaxing but I got her to come out and peck the ground. Thank you for eating girl, but then she had a BM in front of me and it looked awful. I took a pic and then cornered her to take pics of her wound to show after I fed a...
