    2 yr old hen's left thigh swelled up huge!

    The area feels like normal leg muscle tissue. Not soft like a blister, but springy like the rest of her surrounding musculature. No new birds in a year. When she's fed she's alert, but not "normal" alert, if that makes sense. She doesn't peck around at things outside of her food bowl. When...

    2 yr old hen's left thigh swelled up huge!

    I have a 2 year old barred rock who was fine until a couple of weeks ago when I noticed she was withdrawn and not eating. I took her inside to check her out and for a week I couldn't figure out what was bothering her. She acted sort of dizzy and woozy, but otherwise ate and drank fine when I...

It's hard and if I press down on it with a fork it mashes a little - like a seed. Is it possible she digested a seed and it...

    Help - yucky egg!

    Thanks for commenting. There is no rooster and it is not a stinky egg at all. I collect eggs 2-3 times a day. Sorry, I meant to include those 2 pieces of information in my original post.

    Help - yucky egg!

    Hi - I'm new to chickens as of late March this year. I have 10 pullets - 4 red stars and 6 ameraucanas. The red stars started laying eggs about a month ago and the ameraucanas haven't started laying yet. I'm getting anywhere from 1-3 eggs a day on average. They free-range in a 1600 sqft paddock...
