Do they get aggressive just before going broody? She has been acting fresh for a few days. Today she was in the nest box for over 4 hours, all puffed up and flat. When I opened it she made a funny noise. I took her off and there was her egg. The other hen's egg was out of the box though. Do they...

I decided not to cut it, just clean it one or two time per day until I left for vacation, then hope for the best. I'm back now and it looks pretty good!

Here is what it looks like. Any advise?

This is what it looks like. Any advise?

I have a hen with an injured and now floppy comb. I am goin on vacation on Friday and wonder what my best bet is. 1) Leave it and see how it looks when I get back. But I'm worried about infection or it getting caught again and further tearing. 2) cut it tonight (Wednesday). Put her in a crate...

What is the healing time? Aftercare?

Anyone?

HELP!! I have a 1yr old BO. I think she got her comb stuck in fencing yesterday. It's cut about half way back, straignt down and forward, like an L. I cleaned her up last night. Today It's dirty (she loves a dirt bath) and it's flopping forward. Should I dub? I've never done that. Can she go...

Temp is about 30.

I have a 11 month old EE. She is just coming out of molt (and hasn't laid eggs since mid December), tonight her feathers were puffed up. She is eating, chattering and acting normal so far. It was late so I didn't get a chance to pick her up and feel her crop, make sure she's not egg bound, etc...

Can chickens eat hummus? I don't see why they couldn't.

How did you make out with your hen? I have one (8 months old) with the same symptoms. Foul smell, yellowish watery waste, she was laying fine beforehand, she is eating and acting normal. Thought worms treated with valbazen didn't help. Thinking about trying dimethox because I have it on hand.

The sad news is she died :( ChicKat, Thank you for your reply, great info. I am brand new at this, these are my first chickens so I am learning as I go I guess. I like to think I take great care of them, my husband says that Robin Leach will be here any day now. That last part is very...

I have 1 girl who is very sick, and 2 who are not. All were supposed to be vaccinated when I got them as day old chicks, they are now around 24 weeks. I think it might be Markes but not sure. If so can they others get it if they were vaccinated? I think I keep a pretty clean coop and run,what...

Still not better! She's not getting up and walking around. When I lift her to try and make her stand she doesn't put much effort into putting her feet down, If I get her to she kind of slowly lowers and leans to the side. Both wings are still droopy and she's not eating/only drinking if I put...

Anybody know this? I have a BO first few eggs so far are flat brown too.

They can't free range, they are in their coop and an enclosure with sand. Enclosure is cleaned daily, coop weekly. DE in their food and pine shavings, once in a while I put lime in the sand. They eat layer pellets, a bowl of green daily (usually kale or dandelion greens), yogurt or cottage...

Could she be egg bound or sick? She hasn't laid any so far. 1 have 2 other hens, 1started laying 2 weeks ago and the other started 2 days ago.

This morning she is still not well, sleepy, she will drink if I put her beak in the water, not really eating. I went to the farm supply, they only had DI-METHOX and Wazine 17. Does anyone know if I can I put both in her water as I'm not really sure what she is sick with? She stinks to high...

I have not wormed them, but I do put DE in their food. She's been off for a few days but still eating and going outside. What do you suggest for antibiotics?
