Yeah that would've been ugly for them. I'm actually surprised that they all got along fairly well.

Yeah I thought about that recently but since it's been almost four years, all 12 of my neighbors roosters have died. Yes they had 12 roosters and no hens, I have no Idea why.

This is my mutt Daisy She is half buff orpington and half something else (which is what im trying to figure out). This hen is Daisy's daughter Lacey Lacey is half Black Copper Maran, quarter Buff Orpington, and quarter something else ? Here is Lacey's dad Rocky Anyone have an idea what the...

You can also give her some sort of calcium, such as Tums. Just cut it into little bits and try feeding it to her and if she doesn't eat the pieces you can put them inside of raisins and try. The calcium should start working pretty quick and will help her muscle contractions and push the egg out...

Oh, and be sure to post that first egg pic!

She is around that age where she will be laying soon, however that can vary based on their breed. For some they will start laying at around 5-6 months and for others it could be 7-8 months. The red come is a sign of reaching maturity and I wouldn't be surprised if your hen lays within at least a...

She just passed away a few hours ago I gave her some meds to take the pain away and put her to sleep. Thanks for the help and now i know how to tell the symptoms of both egg binding and internal laying, so if it ever happens again i can react faster.

Yeah her crop is almost empty now, should I feed her food, and what should I feed her? I was thinking i shouldnt feed her much because she will just have to poop even more. And I gave her a good amount of water and a some more calcium, she also had another epson salt bath. No one else in my...

Sorry i am late to reply. I didn't feel in her vent because i nearly threw up trying to. But she wasn't pooping at all until just now (11:30 pm), she just pooped out a big glob of greenish poo. She can move but she doesn't because she is in pain. She will sometimes stand and re-position herself...

my buff orpington hen has been egg bound for a few days and i only realized it today. she wont eat, drink or move. I've given her an Epson salt bath, calcium, and even preparation H. I'm afraid that if she doesn't pass her egg tonight that she will die. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks I will check the dewormers out. Are they expensive

I have had chickens for two years and have never gave them a worm vaccine . Do you need to give them a vaccine or is it just a suggestion.

I remember the first time a possum was stalking my chickens. I still haven't cleaned off that shovel.

me too. i dont have silkies but from what i have seen the roosters have their comb showing alot more than the hens.

yeah the crop swells because the food is in there and thats what starts the egg laying process. So the more feed they eat the bigger it gets.

do you mean swollen crops? crops are wear there food goes. if your not sure post a picture of one or two and i'll tell you.

How old are the chicks
