I have a Buff Orpington hen, 2 1/2 yrs, that its sick. I think she is drinking, but not much at all. She's not eating. She has runny poop and I've had her quarantined while I treat her with Wazine, which is the only thing I know to treat with. No eggs for weeks. She just sits in the coop and...

Howdy folks, I have a barred rock that should be about 1 year old, maybe 1 yr 2 months. This summer in Texas it was hot and she started laying these really narrow, thin shelled eggs. About two months ago, my daughter picked her up and a soft, rubbery egg popped out of her and we've seen...

I just brought home three new hens. My other two hens died after a nice long life and I thought getting new hens would be easier (please stop laughing). First of all, my other hens were adopted at about age two or three, so they were calm, tame and very spoiled girls. THese new girls are...

I have two RIR's about two years old, getting closer to three. They are adopted and their birth owner wasn't too sure. One of my hen's Hazel molted this summer and wasn't laying at all. Her sister, Myrtle, was laying maybe three a week. The molting is over for Hazel, but still no eggs...

My two 2-3 year old Gingernut rangers have really slowed in egg production. It began with hide and go seek laying. I tried putting a decoy egg in their box, but they still laid around the yard. Recently they decided to lay on the plastic bag that holds the pine shavings. They brought a few...

My two-three year old Gingernut Ranger Myrtle is not using her right leg. She won't put it down and it appears there is a very mild abraision on the top half-way up the leg, but no other signs of injury. No blood or bruising, I can't see a break and no apparent signs of an animal attack, but I...

My Ginger Nut Ranger hen, Hazel, is 2 1/2 to 3 years old (we adopted her) and acts ok, pecking, eating, drinking, hunting for bugs, but she looks a bit ragged. Her feathers are coming out around her comb, her feathers look messy and her bottom is dirty from diarrhea. I wouldn't be too concerned...
