    Limping pullet

    I have a pullet that was born with crooked toes, her name is Forest. I tried several times when she was a chick to splint them but she kept getting them off.

    Treatment to stop older hen from laying

    I was thinking I would give her half a capsule in some scrambled eggs (it is a powder) today and get something with lower levels tomorrow, this stuff is high in everything. Will try for a week and see what happens! Thanks everyone!

    Treatment to stop older hen from laying

    She always had no trouble until this year, I assume it's due to her age. She is 6 and the last of my dorkings. I would.love to keep her around as long as possible , she teaches all the young and new birds to forage and she gets along with everyone

    hen with clear watery stool

    She is otherwise normal. Not a steady drip, it is just clear water when she passes stool. Even her feathers are clean around her vent. Not sure if i should worry or not, it just that under where she roosts ( the three dorkings roost away from the other hens) is absolutely soaking wet.

    hen with clear watery stool

    Hard molting hen advice

    I should put her the molt contest, she really looks sad! I don't have a spot to put her really. My sick bay in the past has been the bathroom in a crate which she is in right now.
