Hello all,
My Americana white hen has been a consistent layer of blue eggs for quite a while, however, she has stopped laying eggs within two or three days now and sits and tries to poop. I used a gloved finger and checked to see if there was anything stuck, and found nothing. Her poop has been...
Hello, I have a 3ish year old hen, she had gotten a wound on her back that healed with a scab, but recently got a small infection. The scab now it's constantly getting larger and larger(taller) and had a bad odor. I was told by a friend who is a vet, that I should remove it and dress it with...
Hello, I have noticed within the past week that my oldest hen, about 5.5 years old, has been losing weight so I brought her in the garage so I could better care for her. I noticed that her abdomen/ butt area is swollen, not watery, but hard(very hard) Is almost like a hard flexed muscle...
Hello fellow chicken enthusiasts, I have a road island red hen who is about 5 years old, and recently she has become lethargic and I have noticed that her abdomen/ butt area has become swollen. She has green colored poop, and it often gets caught on her vent feathers, so I have clipped them...
Everyone, my chicken recently had sour crop, I tried to throw up method, but it seamed useless. So I resorted to ACV and probiotics in her water, her crop is no longer lottery, but has food in it, but she does not break it down it just sits in there. She seems to not want to eat much, but does...

She was fine three hours ago then now she's sitting in a nesting box and not wanting food/water.. I offered cooked eggs and nothing.. But she has a full crop( she's the biggest eater!) it's not from a sour or a predator.. I think her bone is sticking up... But it doesn't move when she walls so I...

Hello fellow chicken fans, I recently noticed one of my hens has very large butt.. The area from the top of the legs to the end of her body is much larger and protrudes more than the others. If I feel it, it's like a watery sack.. Is it vent gleet or something more serious? Any solutions? Thanks...
Thank you very much for your fast reply, that is what I thought it was… But when I felt her crop that is what gave me the worry of sour crop due to the huge crop and how squishy it is... It has been that way ever since she became crabby. Is Brodyness bad or harmful, and can I fix it or does she...
