Does anyone have any idea why my Wyandotte hen all of a sudden can’t fly up on the roost? She had this kind of problem back in the summer but I think she may have hurt her leg somehow. I kept her by herself until she was better but it seems she’s having the same problem again. Thank you in...
My hen Hester is doing the same thing and I just lost Opal last night to the same thing. I did see one worm in Opal’s poop so I dewormed her and gave her Nutri Drench and also put VetRX in her water. She was so pale and I couldn’t get her to eat or drink even though I tried with a syringe. Now...
I have an 11 1/2 week old Swedish Flower chick and I’m still not sure whether I have a male or a female. I’ve got my fingers crossed for a little pullet!!! Hopefully someone knows which I have...
They look normal but they all have a piece of green grit in them and also clear/white grit as well. Never seen anything like that in an egg before.

Yes they’re from the same flock I finally took the 4 eggs from under her and I cracked them and none had started to develop at all. 3 eggs were from 1 hen and the last 1 from a hen whose other egg did hatch. I guess I miscalculated the time they would be fertile by a day or two which can make a...
I have a hen that has hatched out 3 chicks, each one from a different hen.
(I have 3 hens sitting right now and none of them have been with a rooster but the hens that are with the rooster haven’t gone broody)
From 4 hens with fertile eggs 3 have had chicks hatch but for some reason the 4th...
My hen is very lethargic and has her feathers fluffed up. The left side of her nose has some drainage and under her chin is wet looking. She also has messing looking feathers on her behind. She’s hasn’t started laying yet but she looks like she trying to push out an egg. I’ve checked and as far...
