Ive had chickens for abut 15 years and I have hardly ever lost any but in the last 6 months I have lost about 8 to 10 hens and I am looking for any help as to why they are dying. I have chickens from 1 to 3 years old. Whatever this is, it is only killing the young birds. They all seem normal...
I have a chicken that smells bad. It smells like something dead or rotting. She has what looks like a white puss or white scab around her vent. She has some kind of infection I'm guessing, but what is it? Why does she have it? What do I do to treat it? Any ideas?
I am planning on building a new, old style chicken house with a concrete floor and like 1 ft high concrete sides before I start the framing..... Does anyone have any pictures of older style chicken houses like that?
I have a Cinnamon Queen, or a Gold Star chicken that in the last few months has gone blind in one eye. Her eye looks fine, but the color just started getting dull, anyone know why she has gone blind in one eye?
Then, now she seems to just be standing then she will close her eyes and sit down...

So, I had a chicken die today. It acted just fine yesterday, and this morning. When it was time for them to be shut up for the night it was missing. It was behind the chicken house dead between the waterer and dust box. What happened???
I have a Rhode island red hen that walks around hunched up, as if it is constipated. Have any idea what is going on. I had something like this before with another chicken that would kind of act like this and then she would lay an egg with no shell.
The other day I got a few chickens for a friend and one of them has a lump about the size of an egg on the right side of her breast bone about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom of the breast meat/bone.Any ideas?
I have a chicken that when I was checking their pin bones the other day i smelled something dead on one and so I looked closer and i say that there was some yellow or white flim looking stuff around her vent,,, any ideas?
