    Lash Egg - Help!

    Our 5yr old EE hen attempted to lay a soft shelled egg 5 weeks ago. She had a prolapsed vent. My husband pulled out what he could of the broken egg and pushed her vent back in. She has appeared fine since. Two days ago I found a lash egg in her favorite nest box. I assume it was her...... this...

    Sick Birds - What to do!!???!?

    All my birds recovered from whatever they had. So happy for that! !! Now that I have had them under my radar, in the crates, based off poop I think they are due for worming. Is it safe after antibiotics? We are chucking eggs so I figured now would be a good time. Thoughts? Brands to use? I have...

    Sick Birds - What to do!!???!?

    I have another hen making the rattling sound. And I think another one just starting to get stuffy in the coop. Tylan for all those who are seperated, my vet doesnt seem willing to make a house call to my area. No suggestions over the phone. The very first hen that started all this seems to be...

    Sick Birds - What to do!!???!?

    Thank you for your suggestions. I have generally had a closed flock for years. I had learned that we could have more where we live and decided to add a couple few, hatch a couple, etc. But this is the result. I figured it was either Coryza or MG. You suggested only treating the ones that look...

    Vent Gleet or Eggbound??

    So I thought my hen had vent gleet. Nasty chicken butt. I brought her into the cool part of our basement, gave her a warm bath and cleaned her up. Treating it as vent gleet with ACV water concentrated, etc. This morning I woke to two eggs in the crate with her - one without a shell. She had just...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    I am getting one marans egg a day - from the one on meds, so I can't even cook it up for us to eat! She gets it.... didn't realize they had such a strong instinct to brood- but it could come in handy for chicken addicts.

    Broken Toe Not Healing...Bumblefoot????

    Vet confirmed- bumblefoot. Antibiotics and suggested surgery. Husband not thrilled about spending $300 for surgery, so we are waiting to see how well the antibiotics do. Looking much better a week into meds.....

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Marans hens = contagious broody syndrome. Just saying.... 5 out of 6 have gone broody this spring. The sixth hen has been away from the other five recovering from bumblefoot, so she has not been influenced by it..... she may live in the garage forever lol
