    Egg Laying Dropping Off

    I have had the same problem...only now, I cleaned the coop out completely... down to the wood floor put new straw in and they won't lay AT ALL. I have 20 hens and NO EGGS. I have no idea why. It has been in the upper 80's... but their coop and run is in a partially shady area.

    prolapsed vent and secretions

    I just had a hen with a proloapse and everyone on this site was amazing with their support and help. I actually thought I'd have to put her down... but didn't have the heart to do it, and she recovered and is back with the flock. Here is what we did: cleaned off area, put ky and prp h on it...

    how best to kennel injured pullet?

    I had an injured chicken and she was in a dog kennel in a quiet place in this storage room we have. She was doing ok, quiet... not much activity until she saw us... she was lonely. Then unfortuantely... another hen had a prolapse and we thought she might die. We had her in yet a seperate...

    URGENT... red bloody mass...Farting chicken? Insides are out?

    Well I tried the feed stores in WA & OR and you cannot get euthenasia stuff there, strict laws. We gave her a dropper of whiskey and aspirin thinkng the same, it would put her to "sleep". But it didn't work, she just stood there drank a bunch of water, threw up the water and then ate her food...

    URGENT... red bloody mass...Farting chicken? Insides are out?

    Thank you so much, I'm so sad. I know she is pain because I tried to clean her up in back, you know the feathers, and she made these really loud sqeaking/squealing sounds. I will try again to fix her and if not I think because she is in pain I'll have to figure out how to put her down. Can I...

    URGENT... red bloody mass...Farting chicken? Insides are out?

    Ok, this is so gross sounding I know... but I don't have any clue what to do. I have a beautiful blue araucana hen who is about 6 months old, she was on her roost high above the others looking swollen and big kind of, when I reached up and took her down her tail feathers are bloody and white...

    Please can someone respond?? I'm so frustrated!

    I am feeding them Purina Layer crumble (just started about 3 weeks ago after taking them off of the medicated starter crumble.) And, they get oyster shell free choice, lots of fresh water all day, veggie scraps from the kitchen, and a little scratch tossed out into the run for fun in the...

    Well the latest is that she is moving around a little better but the egg laying thing is so bizarre. She lays a hard dense "shell" like material, then later in the day passes a "soft" celled egg in a long shape. Still runny poo...

    The curled foot thing goes from one left foot to right foot. She cannot stand for very long, she kind of just slides down to rest on her hocks. She stretches her legs out and her toes when she is laying down, but really can't stand and run or walk on her feet. I picked her back up tonight...

    Ok, I had posted the other day and a few of you were so gracious and kind to respond. Here is the link to that post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=103019 I've taken photos of her today. Last night I held her for quite a while and gave her a little massage of the...

    Please can someone respond?? I'm so frustrated!

    Thank you so much everyone. Her poo is back to normal tonight, but it is like she has club feet. I picked her up and when I rub her underbelly, back by her legs underneath, she moves both legs back in and curls her feet and squawks a bunch. It is weird. I am just hopeful it will work...

    Please can someone respond?? I'm so frustrated!

    It is only her right leg and her "toes" kind of curl and colapse under her on that foot only. I can pick her up and she can curl both sets of "toes" around my wrist. She has watery almost colorless diarreah with a little brown solid in it. (Sorry, graphic...) What kind of electrolytes would...

    Please can someone respond?? I'm so frustrated!

    She is an auracana or EE, can't tell. She was advertised as an Auracana when we got her at a few days old... and she looks like one. I've felt her legs and they feel the same, also, she keeps holding her tail feathers downward instead of up. Is that weird? She does sleep on a roost, they all...

    My hen who is about 5 months old was seperated from the flock 2 days ago because she was just laying down, not moving unless she had to and then more like hopping or wobbling off to one side. I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of, I've never had "chicks" so really have NO IDEA. She seems...

    Sick Hen

    I have one of my EE hens who was laying down and not moving very far at a time, she seemed lopsided kind of... I seperated her and brought her into the kennel with her own roost and sugar water and oatmeal with evoo. She seems to be doing better, her eye area is very red and her body temp seems...

    Chicken can't stand up

    I have one hen out of 21 that was doing this same thing this afternoon when I went to check on them. She was laying somewhat on her side and she is very warm. It was rainy and cool today around 48 degrees. They have the free choice of going out in the covered run or staying in the coop with...
