**UPDATE**
So I get everything set to give this chicken some babies including buying the chicks and she decides she's not broody anymore. I didnt even have the chance to try to get them under her. The day I brought the day olds home she spent all day out and about and one of the eggs she had...
You cant really see anything in a photo. She is straight chilling. She doesn't get mad at me when I move her. I kick her out to clean up and so she will eat and she's fine with it. Every other chick I had that went broody had attitude about it but she's just like"this is what I'm doing deal with...
Hello everyone, I am seeking some advice.
So I have a hen that has been sitting in her den box on all the other ladies eggs. She is loosing weight she has not laid an egg in over a month. If i lift her out of the box she will go scratch around and eat and drink for a bit but she gets right back...
I am hearing that the water will be really bad. I don't think the raindrops are toxic but where the water pools on the ground will have all the same pollutants in it as the air.

The vet kept them. He was curious about them. They came out clean. Her foot has a little hole but it was seriously like a pea sized black head that popped out.

So I have a Barred Rock and she has not been roosting and she has lost a lot of weight. I saw a growth on the intermediate interdigital web on each foot. I thought they were an abscess so I took her to the vet and the dude just pooped these hard...
Hello,
I am new to keeping chickens and one of my little ladies just laid a deformed egg. The tip looks wrinkled and there is a small hole. Is this something that just randomly happens or is it some sort of calcium/ nutrition issue? The Barred Rock that laid it has also recently had an issue...
