She sadly passed while I was at work today :( She honestly looked like she was sleeping so I hope it was a peaceful passing. I've treated the coop with DE and will be dusting the rest of the flock tonight.

So after closer inspection (and after putting a heating lamp on her) I noticed a bunch of white tiny bugs crawling on her. I have moved her back outside to the coop to prevent cross contaminating my inside pets (such a safety precaution). I plan to stop on the way home tomorrow to pick up...

I also wasn't aware that worming chickens was a thing until recently. I planned to worm my flock asap after doing some research.

I checked her over. Her back end (under neath) feels squishy and she does have party butt. I cleaned her up the best I could before bringing her in. Her crop feels fine. I didnt feel an egg when I checked to see if she was egg bound. Her breathing appears fine, maybe a little labored but not too...

She is an Isa Brown

Oh no. :( I really hope not. We have done some patterning of shotguns in the yard. It's been at least a year since we've done it though. I have never thought about them being exposed to the pellets. I definitely will make sure we don't anymore though!

She stopped laying awhile ago. I cant remeber the last time I got an egg from her. She also isn't molting. No bullying from what I have seen. They do free range in the evenings but nothing they can get into that I'm aware of.

Hi Everyone, I have about a 3 year old hen. I noticed the other day she was walking around very slowly and away from the flock, but eating and drinking fine. Then 2 days ago she was outside the coop door like she couldn't get up the ramp so I put her in. Yesterday she stayed inside the coop...

Ah maybe that's what is was. I didn't have a hygrometer before starting (didn't realize I needed one) until they started hatching. I was using an old school incubator. I figured they were doing fine though since I had 4 hatch without an issue. I did have to intervene with one cause he pipped and...

So far I have had 5/11 eggs I put in the incubator hatch. On day 20, I had one egg that had pipped and hatch on day 21. Early on day 21 I had another pipped. The one that pipped was chirping and seemed to be doing fine. When I came back later that evening to check on the chick and one pipped...

I ended up wiping it with a warm cloth and he's doing fine now :) Its my first hatch so I didn't know what to expect. Thanks for the responses! Side note, I had one chick that pipped (correct term?) Yesterday evening. His beak was through the shell and breathing. When I woke up this morning I...

Hi everyone. This is my first time hatching eggs. I had two babies hatch last night. When they got fluffy I moved them to the brooder this morning. They both looked fine. I left them for a couple of hours and when I came back I noticed one keeps closing it's eye. He keeps one side open, but the...
